Harvest View Barn Wedding | Ashley and Billy |Hershey Wedding Photography

When Ashley and Billy talked with me about their wedding plans, Ashley repeated over and over that she felt like the most “non-bride” ever. I think that was her was of saying she was not a bridezilla, because from what I observed, she was bridal perfection! She and Billy had picked a venue (Harvest View Barn in Hershey) that suited their day perfectly, had thought through every little detail, and had ensured their guests were in for a good time. But with or without a big wedding, what made Ashley the perfect bride was the love she showed Billy throughout the day. I’m not sure a smile ever left her face!

Harvest View Barn was a perfect country escape for this wedding. From the two story barn to the old farmhouse to the weeping willows, it was certainly a nice break from the city!

I so loved working with Ashley and Billy. They have such a love for life and each other and the world. They are two people you want to be friends with and go on adventures with! It’s hard to sum up the magic of their day, but here are some photos to give you an idea.

Bloomsburg Barn at Boone’s Dam Wedding | Meg and Joey | Pennsylvania Wedding Photographer

We met for pizza to discuss wedding photography and we photographed their engagement session at the Creamery at Penn State.  Meg and Joey are fun spirited, head over heels for each other, and know how to treat everyone around them to some really good food!  Their Barn at Boone’s Dam wedding featured make your own pasta, a pretzel and cheese steak bar, a Rita’s cart, and a cookie bar…..oh, and also the cutest couple I ever did see!

Despite a day that surprised us with a mixture of rain and clouds, I can’t imagine a couple more excited to get married!  Throughout the day, they danced in the rain, kissed under an umbrella, and strolled through the lush garden at The Barn.  I f”ell in like” with these two over that first slice of pizza, but watching them enjoy every crazy second of their wedding day, breath in the fresh air, and be in the moment, made me fall head over heels in love with them.

I’m so excited that I will be sending this gallery off soon!  Congratulations Meg and Joey! Continue reading “Bloomsburg Barn at Boone’s Dam Wedding | Meg and Joey | Pennsylvania Wedding Photographer”

The Barn at Hidden Acres Wedding Photography | Hazley and Tyler | Bloomsburg Wedding Photography

The look on Tyler’s face when he turned and saw Hazley for the first time during their first look is not one I will easily forget (and guess what— you can see it below!). Written all over his face was the deep love he felt for his bride coupled with sheer amazement at how freaking AMAZING she looked. Just moments before, Hazley was inside the farm house completing the finishing touches to her ensemble, having just been showered with gifts from the man waiting for her outside. This was it! This was the start of the day she had been planning for months.
 
When I first worked with Hazley and Tyler in the fall for their engagement session, it felt like we three had been transported someplace far far away. Everything was still and quiet and the sunlight was golden and we didn’t have a care in the world. We sat in a field on the hill and Tyler played his guitar and sang to Hazley while I snapped away. I’ve never experienced such a calm session with two people who are just so excited to have found one another in this world. I knew from that moment that their wedding would be pretty amazing. And I wasn’t wrong.
 
Hazley and Tyler were married at Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in Bloomsburg and their reception was at The Barn at Hidden Acres. Now I have done a lot of barn weddings and this barn is my favorite aesthetically. It looks like a barn! Gaps between planks, rustic charm- mix in the beautiful white drapes, amazing florals by The Details Matter, and of course a beautiful couple and all of their friends, and it makes for one smashing party.
 
I cannot express how exciting this wedding was for me because Hazley and Tyler really let me have my say and direct them towards the best photo moments. During the reception, we slipped out to a field adjacent to the barn and captured some of my all time favorite wedding photos. OF ALL TIME. They kissed and danced and laughed and enjoyed the fact that this was, indeed, their wedding day. I am so very excited to share some of my favorite moments from their day.

The Barn at Boone’s Dam | Kaitlyn and Sean | Bloomsburg Wedding Photography

barn at boones dam wedding photography_0947Sean could barely contain his excitement when he heard Kaitlyn’s dress rustling as she walked up behind him.  He had been waiting to see his bride for the first time under an ivy covered trellis while the sun peeked in and out of the clouds.  Behind him, his bride was framed in bright autumn colors that seem to dissapear as soon as they arrive.  As Kaitlyn approached and Sean turned to see her, there was nothing but love filling the air.  Their first look is one I will never forget, along with the rest of their day.
