Deirdre and Jim's Wedding

Deirdre and Jim had a wonderful wedding last Saturday at Eisenhower Chapel on the Penn State campus. The reception was held at the Elks Club of State College. We had a great time photographing everyone and getting to meet their families and friends.

Here are some highlights from the day!

Engagement session fun

We always have a great time taking engagement photos. We spend a little time getting to know each couple and get more comfortable with each other before the wedding day. A couple of our recent engagement sessions yielded some very spontaneous moments from our couples, which of course, we were thrilled to be able to capture!

We love what we do!

Our Two New Family Members!

Just when our 2 daughters (Maria - 11 and Sophie - almost 7) are becoming self-sufficient, we decided we needed a little excitement. So, 3 weeks ago we welcomed Ginger and Rocket (Rocky) into our home!! The 2 boxer puppies are doing great! They are very affectionate and love to sleep anywhere they can...in your lap, in your bed, anywhere you'll let them!


Ginger and Rocky are settling right in to McQuaide family life, although we'll have to start limiting naps so they will sleep past 5:30 am! Our almost 13 year old Springer Spaniel, Sunny, is adjusting too ( we think!). Well, at least she doesn't leave the room when they're around anymore...

Wishing you nights full of uninterrupted sleep,

The McQuaide Family
