A Spring Swing (literally), stunning blossoms, amazing architecture, and “cowboy hats“, haha– I love being an Omni Bedford Springs Wedding Photographer!
These two have traveled over 71,000 miles together and visited 47 different states, just in the last year! They love to dress up, especially in evening or western attire, enjoy spending time on their farm, and love how “extra” they are together!
Why Rhinehart Photography?
Karrie exclaims, “I LOVE your photography and your creativity– it is so much better than all the other photographers (even nationwide)! I really like your creative eye, the different poses you shoot, and your use of lighting. You have the ability to capture mood and emotion in a picture. We really enjoyed your personality and working with you. It was all very effortless and fun.”
She continues, “We had a great time at our pre-wedding session at the Omni – we liked that it wasn’t stiff and posed – but you let us be us and captured our love and happiness in the moment.”
Karrie adds, “I used my pictures for wedding signs, an event newspaper, the seating chart, a photo card – everyone loved our photographs and all the personalized details! It was a great idea to shoot our couple’s photos months before the wedding. This way we were able to have beautiful pictures for the wedding – people never get to see wedding couples photography at a wedding. It also freed up time on the wedding day to spend much more time with our guests – but we still got the pictures we wanted. The day goes by so fast and I didn’t want to have to choose between getting the pictures that were important to me and spending my time at my wedding.”
Their First Date/ Not Date, haha!
Karries shares, “One day we went to Bedford – I wanted to show Carbon around the area as he had stopped for a short stay on his way to NY for a new job (moving from CA). I took him to all the local fun spots. In talking, we discovered we shared a love of historical hotels. I decided I needed to show him the Omni Bedford Springs. We walked around the property – admired the pool – talked and laughed. We got a drink and sat in a quiet room. We refer to that day as our ‘date not date’ because we were the only people who didn’t know we were on a date!”
Romantic Weekend: Omni Bedford Springs Wedding Photographer
Karries says, “We did actually start dating and we spent our first romantic weekend together at the Omni Bedford Springs. A few months later in October while in NYC for my birthday we went ring shopping. Carbon proposed in January 2024 and we knew the only place we wanted to get married was the Omni Bedford Springs since it played such a big part in our love story!”
Special Requests
Karrie says, “We had cute barware items we purchased – one item was matching tumblers. Carbon’s says Mr. Right and mine says Mrs. Always Right – we wanted pictures with them because they fit our personalities! We really love the pictures on the stairs, she said when she took the pictures I looked like a mermaid! We are an older couple unlike most youngsters you see as bride and groom – we really loved that Lisa captured our best angles and made us look amazing!”
Spring Swing: What They Love Most About Eachother
Carbon shares, “I consider myself weird and quirky and not everyone ‘gets’ me. With Karrie, I can always be myself and she loves me for who I am. It’s so nice to be loved unconditionally and to be able to be myself. She is always honest and genuine and that’s what makes her heart such a safe place for me to live. Her zest for life makes it fun!”
Karrie smiles, “I instantly recognized when I met him that Carbon was my soulmate. I never believed in love at first sight or really in soulmates – until he showed up on my farm and made it the happy, fun place I always wanted it to be. He impressed me with his desire to learn about the farm and animals. He is the one person who tries as hard in life as I do. He always has an adorable smile and an infectious laugh that makes everyone around us happy – and maybe even a bit envious. You see, he takes amazing care of me and always says that I am his ‘everything’ – and he is my world.”
They add, “What makes us work is that we each care most about each other and put each other’s needs first rather than ourselves. Together we are in our own world that is full of love and laughter. We don’t let anything or anyone intrude on our life together.”
Karrie says, “Carbon and I are so very happy together and we always have so much fun with whatever we do. He has an adorable giggle, and an amazing smile and is always happy and laughing. Lisa really captured his laughter and smile so well!”
A Few Favorite Features at The Omni Bedford Springs
Karrie shares, “We love pictures. Once we contracted with Lisa and the Omni – I researched all the details of the Omni photography and weddings to see what I liked and wanted to incorporate into our wedding. Lisa had so many amazing photos, especially at the Omni – it was hard to limit which locations we wanted to feature!”
She continues, “I knew we wanted pictures on the swing and on the stairs inside, pictures on the Veranda, and walking outside the beautiful Omni. I bought a cathedral veil just as a prop in case we could get a photo of it blowing in the wind or on the staircase – it looked so amazing in the pictures!”
She adds, “My favorite color is purple – my flowers and bridesmaids were wearing purple. When we pulled up to the Omni in April for our session – the entire front of the Omni was purple tulips. We felt like they planted them for us and our special photography day. I loved the pictures with the purple tulips and Lisa’s use of the flowers in our photographs on the Veranda!”
Stetson Hats and Silhoettes
Karrie smiles, “We own a farm and love my horses – so we decided to incorporate cowboy hats in the pictures. Lisa suggested using the hats on the swing and in our silhouette at sunset pictures. These are some of our favorites!
“They share, “Our life together has been full of laughter, smiles, and happy experiences.”
