Christina Garber Photography:

Lifestyle Wedding Photographer serving Harrisburg, York, Carlisle, State College, Altoona, and Johnstown, PA

Hi! My name is Christina Garber. Originally born in California, I grew up in South Jersey. I met my husband, Matthew, at college in Grove City, and after graduation we got married and moved to Altoona, Pennsylvania. In 2002, we had our first baby, Daniella Grace. It was then that I first picked up a camera seriously… and I haven’t put it down since!

My favorite subjects are people interacting with each other, people doing things, people in action. I love photographing people. I try to be as inconspicuous as possible and catch them in their natural element.

Please enjoy the blog. If you have any comments, questions, or would like to set up a shoot, please call me at 814.330.0535 or send me an email at christina at ilovealtoona dot com. I work from the Harrisburg-Carlisle area but also welcome shoots in the Altoona, State College, and York areas.

Adam and Andrea – Altoona, PA wedding photographer

Posted in Married

Yesterday my daughter Daniella and I finished reading Anne of Green Gables. I adored Anne’s conception of a kindred spirit.

Andrea and Adam’s wedding brings to mind kindred spiritness (not a word, I know : )

So much of their wedding reminded me of my own wedding 9 years ago.

First off, the couple – serious, gentle learners with a quiet, playful side, so similar to Matt and myself.

And then there was the slide show. It could have been pictures of me hurdling and playing soccer just like Andrea.

And then the longest married couple dance. It brought back memories of Mr. and Mrs. Levy dancing to the same dance at my wedding.

Andrea and Adam, you make me truly happy. Thanks for the privilege of being a part of your wedding day.

Here’s a shout out to their awesome vendors:

Food, Cake, Ceremony & Reception: the Casino, Altoona, PA
Dress and the bridesmaids dress: David’s Bridal
DJ: LocalMotion in State College, PA
Florist: Avant Garden in State College, PA

Getting ready…

Adam, you look dashing.

Some details…

The ceremony was held in front of the Casino on a magnificent, August afternoon.

I love the adoration in their faces in this set.

It’s official : )

Some shots moments after the ceremony

We had a few minutes to take pictures of Adam and Andrea while the family members were gathering for their pictures.

Wow… I love these!!!

So much lovin’

Andrea, you are radiant!

I loved these next 2 sets in black and white.

I think the picture of Andrea holding up her dress on the left is my favorite of the day.

The wedding party gathered, and we had a blast photographing them.

The guys and gals separately

The whole crew

The Casino is a stone’s throw away from Lakemont park. So we headed over to take a few more pictures.

Popcorn anyone?

I love these 2.

Then we headed back inside for some unbelievable lighting.

Some details from the reception

The first dance

There was no end to the fun dancing at this wedding

Here’s a few pictures of the couple who were married the longest at the wedding.

I love this sequence

Seriously the fun, dancing pictures just kept coming. I had a really hard time narrowing it down to these to share.

Congratulations, Adam and Andrea. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
