I LOVE shooting Pennsylvania weddings since it's my home state. This summer I got to travel to Pennsylvania 4 times for weddings and I had a blast! Atlee and Adrienne's wedding was the first of my travels and was such a joy to shoot. Adrienne was the sweetest bride and Atlee was the craziest groom :) I loved Adrienne's grecian style dress and vintage style details. I've never seen a church so well decorated for a wedding! Atlee and Adrienne did a first look before the ceremony. They were so happy to finally be at their wedding day and it definitely showed on their faces. We took some bridal party and couple photos while we were out in the field. Lancaster just has the most beautiful landscape which made the perfect backdrop for their photos. During the reception, Adrienne and her dad surprised us all with a fun dance in the middle of their father/daughter dance- it was adorable! There was lots of crazy dancing by all the guests as well which made it so fun to shoot :) The night ended with a sparkler exit and a full moon right above the happy couple! Lastly, my post would not be complete without mentioning my great second shooter for the day, James Kolb from Kolb Visuals. Thanks James for all your help!
Jake and Amy's wedding was one of classic elegance. Held at Bonterra near Uptown Charlotte, it was an intimate, exquisite wedding. The main dining area of Bonterra was set up for the ceremony and then switched over for the reception. Details included beautiful white flowers, candles, and elegant place settings. The girls got ready upstairs in the balcony while the guys got ready below in the wine cellar. Bonterra is a small location so we had to be creative with photo spots. We got some great shots across the street and also took advantage of the beautiful staircase and balcony inside. For the reception, there was a homemade candy bar, lots of fun dancing, and the food was incredible! Amy and Jake ended their special day with sparklers going down the outside steps. These two were such a lovely, classy couple and their wedding expressed that!
DIY. Rustic. Homegrown. These are some of my favorite wedding words and they perfectly describe Katie and Levi's wedding! Their wedding took place on Katie's parent's property next to a beautiful barn. Every last detail was so lovely and many of the decorations were made by Katie herself! Lauren Piner, from Southern & Chic, helped pull everything Katie wanted for her day together and was great to work with! The ceremony took place right in front of the barn and Katie walked down the aisle through beautiful vintage doors that they had set up. The cutest part was their ring bearer who was their dog, Charlie! The reception was held in a tent beside the barn and throughout the backyard they had outdoor games set up for their guests. My favorite part of the reception was when Levi sang to Katie. He had written her a song and surprised her by singing it! These lovebirds ended the night with a sparkler exit to Levi's truck which they drove off in. Katie and Levi had so much love for each other and God that showed throughout their entire day. It was a beautiful celebration that I am blessed I got to be a part of!
