Frank King Photography
Central Pennsylvania’s first reality TV show, Emmy nominated Dream Weddings, is airing its fifth season of spectacular weddings. What began as a dream for host Martine Cajas more than five years ago has turned into a source of dreams for brides all over Central Pennsylvania.
Viewers will welcome the return of some favorite elements in the show: behind the scenes production meetings, design upgrades and of course… bloopers. Martine is getting so comfortable on camera that the production team sometimes fear that he’s going to become a one-take wonder…. then his Spanglish takes over and the whole production team is cracking up! Dream Weddings continues to evolve and will unveil some new surprises this season…but you’ll have to tune in to see for yourself! Check WGAL’s listings for exact times and dates. One thing that won’t change is our belief in the professionals who live and work in South Central Pennsylvania. Their work and creativity is what drives the premise of the show.

Big Day?
My Story...
I started the Yoli Better Body system in 2012 because I was suuering from severe digestive complications. I started to see results within the rst week and the results continued to progress. It will be three years that I have been doing the system and my digestive issues are gonee Not only have I received a physical transformation but I have received an emotional and nancial transformation as well. I fell in love with the system because it changed my life. I started the business side of Yoli in 2013. I now have a 2014 BMW (paid for by Yolii), have traveled to Belize, Cozumel, and Cabo San Lucas...all also paid for by Yoli. ese e photos were taken in January 2015 of me in my wedding dress from eight years ago. I have not only been able to stabilize my digestive issues but maintain my weight to the point where I can wear clothes I wore in high school. My dress ts me better now than it did when I was twenty years oldd

Martine's Katy Trefry Photography
MUS I N G S
Italy. In 2014, it was the hottest place for celebrity weddings. May saw Kim Kardashian and Kanye West celebrate their wedding in Florence. In the fall, the world’s most eligible bachelor, George Clooney, exchanged vows with Amal in Venice. Then, fate came calling. Katy Trefry, whose photography is a vital part of this issue, was invited to take part in the Moda E Arte Workshop, which was being held in Ravello, Italy. Located along the Amalfi Coast, Ravello and its breathtaking scenery would provide the setting for a workshop that would allow participants to work with internationally acclaimed photographers, designers and wedding stylists. The workshop would also provide Katy with the opportunity to attend seminars whose topics touched on the latest wedding trends. She was afforded the oncein-a-lifetime chance to photograph couture gowns and other bridal-related fashions. Not to mention, being close to such storied destinations as Pompei, Capri, Rome and Tuscany. I was be-
yond jealous!! So, I had to settle for visiting Italia through Katy’s gorgeous photographs that were shot in an old church, in gardens and by the water in Ravello. Ultimately, they would serve as the inspiration for this Spring issue of Dream Weddings, and the best part is the photos were shot in film. As I studied Katy’s photos, it occurred to me that while a wedding abroad would be fabulous, there’s no reason why a girl in South Central PA couldn’t bring the celebrity flair of Italy to the East Coast. Vineyards would offer themselves to such a theme, as would hotels and yes, even our barns. Even a backyard could dazzle. Any venue could be transformed into a Tuscan villa with help from vendors who specialize in florals, lighting and décor. Consider the tablescape Katy photographed. The secret to its success is the patina it exudes. The silvery green, ivory and gold tones are simply beautiful, resulting in a look that is timeless. Speaking of color, have you seen the Pantone Color Institute’s 2015 Color of the Year? I’m referring to “marsala.” Envision the color of marsala wine and you get the picture. It’s organic, yet glamorous. It’s earthy, yet sophisticated. It’s grounding, yet dramatic. When it’s paired with soft, cool hues or subtle warm tones, the effect is en plain air. And, you’ll need to study Katy’s fashion shots. Europe is the trendsetter where bridal fashion is concerned. The word ethereal comes to
mind. Translucent fabrics. Flowing designs. Back treatments. Sleeves. Those elements are defining European bridal fashion for 2015. Boudoir also figured into the workshop. Boudoir photography continues to be a huge trend where gift giving is concerned, and many local photographers are making sessions available. With the release of the movie 50 Shades of Grey, boudoir photography will no doubt be even more in demand. As you will see, lingerie has picked up on the popularity of lace, which lends an almost angelic and elegant look to after-dark fashions. See you in your dreams … Ciao!

Photograher, Katy Trefry, experienced an amazing opportunity by attending the Moda E Arte Workshop, which was held in Ravello, Italy. Located along the Amalfi Coast, Ravello and its stunning architecture and breathtaking scenery would provide the setting for a workshop that would allow participants to work with internationally acclaimed photographers, designers and wedding stylists. What a wonderful chance for her to photograph couture gowns, and work with exclusive make-up artists and models. Be sure to embrace the European style Katy captures throughout!

HOMETOWNS:

Kacie is from York, PA and Rick is from Evansville, IN. Kacie works as a forensic scientist and Richard is a retail manager. Kacie and Rick met when Rick and some of his friends met up with Kacie and her girlfriends for a night out. The two hit it off right away and dated for a few months before going their separate ways. A few months and a couple trips to see each other later they began dating again, and the rest is history. They consider the night they met as their first date. Rick popped the big question at the same place they met five years before. He prepared flowers and met Kacie with the same car he had driven the night they first met. After a drive downtown, Rick pulled into the same place they’d first met, got out of the car, walked around to Kacie’s door, opened it and got down on

cymbidium orchids, purple freesia, green spider mums, white garden roses and myrtle. Kacie and Rick opted for both a cake and cupcakes for their guests. The cake itself was a white cake with strawberry buttercream filling decorated with buttercream rosettes. Nothing Else Matters (acoustic version) by Metallica. Rick’s favorite memory was seeing Kacie walking down the aisle, and the best part for Kacie was walking toward Rick and her father at the end of the aisle. Sandals, Montego Bay, Jamaica.

D DANIELLE and COLIN
Walkersville, MD May 31, 2014
Hometowns:
Both Danielle and Colin are from Frederick, MD. Colin is a Strength & Conditioning Coach, and Danielle is a Development Associate. They met in high school during lunch, and Danielle has had a crush on him ever since. The couple went to the Great Frederick Fair in Frederick, MD. Thirteen years later, they had their engagement photos done there. Colin proposed to Danielle two days before Thanksgiving. He took her to their favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner, and planned to pop out and surprise her while they were walking their dog. Their dog decided to move a lot quicker that night, however, so Colin didn’t have a chance to run ahead and hide. Instead, he got down on one knee in the entryway to their apartment and popped the question. Bohemian/Romantic/Vintage. Purple and peach. They used local peonies and lilacs with kale, purple anemones, artichokes, blue thistles, Spanish moss, garden roses, and purple hydrangea. The cake was Danielle’s favorite; white cake with local strawberry preserves, peach icing and fresh peonies as accents. Guests could also opt for Colin’s favorite, chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. Can’t Take My Eyes Off You by Frankie Valli. The couples’ favorite memories are the Best Man and Maid of Honor speeches and being on the dance floor with their family and friends. They loved seeing everyone dancing! South Carolina.
