Genuine Barn at Boone’s Dam Wedding | Ron and Brooke

A genuinely beautiful Barn at Boone’s Dam wedding. There is a reason I love photographing here! Not only is the food by Susquehanna Chef sublime, but the atmosphere is one of charm and elegance. I am lucky enough to shoot here a few times a year, and despite the trek to North East PA, I would do it in a heartbeat.

The Barn at Boone’s Dam in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, is the perfect wedding venue to escape into nature. Located next to a bumbling creek and open fields, you are more likely to find a local barn cat than people.

Ron and Brooke had their May wedding at the Barn, and it was perfect. Despite a little rain right as the ceremony began, this cloudy day led to some breathtaking moments. Ron and Brooke opted for a traditional wedding. Catching their reactions as Brooke walked out of the barn was a highlight of my day. The slightest drizzle began as guests took their seats and Brooke walked down the aisle towards Ron. Fortunately, there was so much joy and beauty happening in that moment, I don’t believe anyone noticed. By the time a kiss was exchanged, the rain had stopped, and guests were ready to celebrate with the happy couple.

So how do you achieve a genuine wedding as gorgeous as Ron and Brooke? Keep it natural, keep it simple, and let the beauty of the day speak for itself. Ron and Brook choose the most incredible team of vendors and charming styles for their day. Brookes stunning lace dress was highlighted by her delicate flowers that packed a punch of color. They used plenty of lush greens and gentle sparkles, yet kept things fun for guest with lawn games and epic late night snacks.

Chesapeake Inn Wedding | Sarah and Virgil | Maryland Wedding Photography

The small town of Chesapeake City, Maryland, is a water lover’s paradise. Nestled along the Chesapeake Bay, the summers are cooled with bay breezes and the nights are lit with fireflies. Nestled among the streets of multi colored cottages is the Chesapeake Inn Restaurant and Marina, drawing in visitors by land and by water. It’s grand ballroom features a domed ceiling with dozens of star-like lights, and it’s outdoor patios all lead down to the docks. For Sarah and Virgil, this was the location that married all of their loves.

Sarah and Virgil have a love and energy for life that I am not sure I have ever been able to live up to! There seems to be nothing that can steal their joy, and this is magnified when they are together. I have never seen a groom so eager to have his guest enjoy themselves or to marry his bride! And sweet Sarah, always bringing joy and calm wherever she goes.

Sarah and Virgil’s wedding brought forth some fantastic celebrations as well as timeless traditions. Their wedding was a blend of western and Korean, and they worked hard to ensure that family and friends from all over the globe were included.

It was a night to remember, from the stunning ceremony, to the first dance choreographed to La La Land (I almost died– this is my favorite movie and they nailed it!), I am so happy I was able to be there! I hope these photos bring Sarah, Virgil, and their 76 children joy for a lifetime 🙂

You all know that I love travel and I love photography. When both worlds collide, I am a happy gal! As much as I love photographing destination weddings, I know that this can be a big budget strain for many couples. I am excited to announce that each year I will be honoring 1 Pay My Way destination wedding! That’s right…. you have read this correctly. Here are the details:

What you will be covering:

Airfare and any travel needed (and airfare must include baggage because a photographer does not travel light)

Acommodations for 3 nights. I request 3 nights because I want to be sure that I am not delayed and am well rested for your wedding. I also like to be early to scout for photo locations.

Daily stipend. This will cover meals and daily expenses.

Whether you are planning an elopement, a Tuscan hillside wedding, a vow renewal, I’m your girl.

Spring Hollow Golf Club Wedding | Carli and Jack | East Coast Wedding Photography

As the wind blew Carli’s veil across her face, Jack mindlessly brushed her hair back from her face and held her close. Their spring wedding at Spring Hollow Golf Club brought beautiful sunshine and ferocious winds. But most importantly, it brought two families together.

Spring weddings in Pennsylvania have a very special charm to them. Everyone and everything is waking up from a long cold winter, and the extra hours of sunshine and warm breezes make us all giddy. Carli and Jack choose one of the best spring days for their wedding, despite the wind. Somehow they managed to dodge the endless days of rain, and exchanged their vows on the greens overlooking a small lake.

As far as Philadelphia area venues go, Spring Hollow cannot be beat. From their ornate ballroom to pine covered hills, it was a little slice or paradise!

So thankful to have worked with some of the best vendors around:

Venue| Spring Hollow Golf Club

Flowers | Cameron Peters Flora Designs

The Barn at Greenwood Wedding | Celeste and Zach | Pennsylvania Wedding Photographer

Summer seems like a distant memory, but it wasn’t so long ago that I was celebrating in a field of Wildflowers at the Barn at Greenwood with Celeste and Zach.  Their rustic barn wedding in northeast PA was perfection, and I loved celebrating with them!

Every detail was a perfect representation of Celeste and Zach, from the blinged out shoes to the rustic country farmhouse sink.  And I will always swoon over a field of wildflowers!  Their day started at Shiloh Bible Church in Bloomsburg PA before heading into the mountains to dance the night away with friends and family in a cozy barn.

Here are some of my favorite moments! Continue reading “The Barn at Greenwood Wedding | Celeste and Zach | Pennsylvania Wedding Photographer”
