Hi, we are Daryl and Thelma Musser a husband/ wife team based in Ephrata PA. This is the blog about the photographic side of our lives, both professionally and personally. We hope it helps you to get to know a bit about us, our work, our daughter, and the people and things that are important to us.
If you are a potential client we hope these images give you a better idea of our current style of shooting, and a little idea of who we are and what we are about.
Have fun, click around, get to know us! Then leave us a comment, send us an email--we love feedback and getting to know you!
Thanks for visiting!
Our family photo is done by Authentic You. by char.
Just because:
She is 10 months old (already!!!)
She has two teeth (just discovered yesterday!!)
She is just a trip to have around.
She is almost walking (go baby!!)(mommy’s life is about to change:-) )
Did I mention she is just plain fun!?!?
Justin Audrey’s wedding. Where do I begin? Well, it was fun. Definately that. Justin and Audrey both, were super-relaxed and this was an all-around fun wedding to shoot. At the risk of sounding redundant, always talking about the weather, their day was perfect, sun-soaked, and so not raining!
Here’s the happy two:
Audrey was preatty much the ultimate photographer’s dream as far as bride’s go–gorgeous, easy going and just incredibly funny and up for anything! She made me laugh on a day that I really needed to laugh:-)
Beautiful beautiful sunshine, how I love thee!
I just had to include this one. Amazingly we didn’t get chucked off the premises for this:-) Audrey loves horses so she just had to get up on this horse statue in the garden. Not every bride would attempt this in their gown:-)
And speaking of fun, how’s this? triplets! That means triple the fun, right?
yep. up for anything.
I Looove this image because it has blue blue sky, not a cloud to be seen:-) 
Some fun with the super awesome vintage truck they borrowed for the day.
Reception funness: personalized Jones’ soda:-)
A groom cake for Justin. I think he was pleasently surprised, plus a personalized bat from Audrey to Justin.
So we really really love when one happy bride/couple tells another couple about us and we are enlisted to do their wedding. You get to meet some really awesome people that way, that you prly never would have crossed paths w/ otherwise. Such was the case w/ Josiah and Valerie. What a sweet amazing couple, as much so as his cousin who referred them to us! Thanks so much guys, for inviting us to be a part of your day.
This is one of the weddings that happened over the time of our house purchase/moving time, so we didn’t get around to blogging it before now:-) We certainly didn’t want to skip over it, because it truly was a sweet event to be a part of.
As I chose images to blog, I didn’t know where to begin…or end!
To start, of course the weather was rainy rainy rainy over the time allotted for pictures. Now the really tough part was the fact that this was an outside event…an evening wedding on the lawn of a beautiful bed and breakfast, complete w/ a desert reception. Rain just would not do, Not at all! Josiah had a deep faith that it was not going to rain. He prayed hard for beautiful weather, and altho it poured over picture time, it turned into an absolutely beautiful wedding evening. What an amazing wedding gift from God!
Without further explanation, here are the happy two:
I loved this garden shed, so Valerie braved the rain for a few shots w/ it!
Beautiful rainy day wedding images, is all I can say. 
Totally loved her esemble! It all went so well together–the pearls, the hair, the dress……the bride! It seemed to reflect her style well.
All I can say is, I could have shot her all day!
Rain, rain go away. This was on the beautiful veranda where tables were then set up for the reception time.
And the weather begin to take a turn for the better!!!
Happy girlies in vibrant colors.
and the wedding ceremony took place on a balmy beautiful Friday evening as the sun set and the breezes whispered in the trees. It truly was amazing!
As evening faded into night, the guest laughed and talked by the twinkling lights of the veranda and the tiki torches tucked everywhere. I think if I would redo my wedding, this would be my reception of choice.
Some fun details:
Dustin and Shaina. A sparkly beautiful wedding day full of glowy sunshine, no rain to be seen (big huge smiles) Two happy people quite in love. Gorgeous fall tones in the flowers and dresses. Yep, it was pretty fun document this wedding day.
Here’s one of my favorite images of the happy two:
And here’s the bride. Can we say Cute???? I seriously could do a whole post of just her!
Glove and boquet deliciousness:
The last time we shot at this location, it was a cold blustery spring day, so it was kinda weird (in a good way) to be there in lovely weather:
Shaina cuteness:
all the girlies:
Girlie details:
The guys:
And some fun reception details, i loved these apples as a falltime favour/seating assignment:
And the cake, aren’t the leaves just a beautiful touch?
Last Saturday was the wedding of Dennis and Rebekah….and yes, you guessed it, it was rainy. You’d think by now we’d be used to working w/ rainy wedding days, which I guess we have to be, after this wedding season! It pretty much poured all morning, breaking only over the time we were doing bridal party pictures, and then after the reception we were able to head out w/ the two for a few more shots, before it began to pour again.
But no matter, it was a beautiful wedding, and the couple got married all the same! Here they are pre-wedding, happy and gorgeous.
Between the wedding and reception the sun broke through and we had some stunning blue skies that matches the bridesmaid dresses perfectly. I love this shot!
And here are some shots of the happy couple :
I think this is one of my favorite:
And then it began to pour once again, so we found a gorgeous church porch to hang out under. Loved the doors!
One parting shot to wet your appetitie: the delightfully goey chocolate wedding cake! And yep, it was every bit as yummy as it looked!!
It’s Corey and Brittany! They’re engaged, and excited about their wedding next year. We’re excited too, and looking forward to their big day. We did their engagement shoot on a beautiful evening last week. The light was glowy, delicious and absolutely amazing.
So, here they are! Enjoy!
The other day was a beautiful fall day, so I loaded up the baby and went down to the park. It was Abbi’s first experiance with the colored leaves and they totally blew her mind! It was so fun to watch her examine them. Then, she rode the swing, and loved that too. Great day in the park!
So the weather on this wedding day was anything but steller, in fact it was pretty much miserable. Cold. rainy. yuck. But. the couple on this wedding day, puts a whole meaning to the word steller. Wow, so much fun to work with, so cute, so happy, and yes, so not bothered by the fact that it poured all day long. We were happy to spend the day with Justin and Krista and document their beautiful relationship.
Well, we put the umbrella’s for our light system to a new use this day.:-)
A bride that can look this gorgeous, and happy while standing in the rain is just pretty amazing:-)
The happy two.
Absolutely loved the bouquet!
Cute girlies.
Love this shot that Daryl got of the guys.
And now for a few amazing reception details. Love all the fall flowers.
And little fall colored flowers tucked in bottles everywhere.
Christmas Card season is here, and we are busy w/ shoots and cards, and everything else that goes w/ this season.
Here is a family we shot one beautiful evening a few weeks ago–the Esh’s. It was neat doing their pictures since they are part of the pastoral team at our church.
We think they are a very handsome family:
And one of the kiddos’:
Maryellen and her baby:
Gotta love those eyes!
Just looking through the files tonight and found these guys’ wedding images! I can’t believe that I didn’t blog about them! Kenton and Emily tied the knot earlier this summer, and their day was glowly, happy and delicous. We’ve known Emily and her family for quite a few years. It was so fun shooting ppl we knew.
Here they are, Kenton and Emily:
Enjoying the lush beauty of the Twin Pine Manor in early summer.
Emily was positively stunning, as most brides are on their wedding day!
Always fun to get them situated in this little spot next to the pond. We love when couples are good sports!
So fun being engaged same time as your best friend. Showing off their bling.
Sweet ties.
Sweet two.
And fun details. The beautiful window bouquets at the wedding.
Nothing like a little PB on the wedding cake! Yummy.
