I was thrilled when Bruce Shenk called me about his plan to elope to Skytop Lodge in Skytop, Pennsylvania in October 2012. I loved his plan and thought it was a great idea to book a professional photographer for their intimate wedding.

Reverend Alt performed the short ceremony during a perfect fall evening in the Poconos. After they said their vows, Ruth and Bruce, who live near Harrisburg, let me show them around Skytop Lodge and we found some nice spots to do a few more pictures.

Photographing weddings at Skytop Lodge is always a treat. I love the setting, the inn, the grounds and the staff. Skytop has so many photogenic backdrops and that gives so many options for bridal party shots. Even if you just stop at Skytop for lunch, I highly recommend spending some time here. And try to time it around a holiday to see world class themed decorations!
