Colorful Summer Wedding at Zem Zem Shriners in Erie, Pa

Tad & Hannah first booked their wedding at Zem Zem Shrine Club for the summer of 2020. But with the threat of Covid hanging over their heads and each having several family members that were high risk, the couple post-poned until mid-summer 2021. Although, we had the green light for their 2020 wedding date, we happily obliged knowing that safety was a big concern for them.

The couple booked our Classic Photography Collection for their wedding at Zem Zem. Because that collection allows less hours of shoot time Hannah made the decision to begin photography with the ceremony instead of getting ready photos. This allowed the team to stay longer into the reception.

A full catholic mass took place for the couples vows at Saint Greg’s Church in North East, Pa. Following the service, formal photos echoed the couples Engagement Session at what is now Granite Ridge in North East, Pa. The couple actually tied their engagement session and wedding together in a few small ways. They chose the same photo location as well as wore the same colors at each shoot.

After formal photos were over we traveled to the wedding at Zem Zem to capture Grand Entrance, Cake Cutting, Speeches and First Dances. We were even able to sneak outside on the lawn of the venue for some extra bridal party photos!
