Appleford Estate Wedding | Hunter and Alyssa | Villanova Pennsylvania Wedding Photography

Published on by allieskylarphotography@gmail.comLeave a comment

Last summer, while we were all relatively sticking to the rivers and the creeks we were used to, I photographed Hunter and Alyssa’s Appleford Estate wedding in Villanova, PA. It truly felt like I was traipsing around an old estate in France. Every attention to detail at Appleford Estate, from the manicured gardens to the furnished rooms, was impeccable.

Hunter and Alyssa had to push back their day a year due to the pandemic. It broke my heart for them at the time. However, once everything had come full circle, I knew their day ended up being just perfect for them. I had the best time working with Hunter and Alyssa and I am so excited to share some photos from their day!

  1. Whether they were walking hand in hand, saying their “I Do’s”, or kissing under Melody’s Cathedral length veil, the radiant smiles never left Melody and Jordan’s faces.  Their beautiful Korean-Canadian-American wedding at the First Korean Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia was a ceremony that unite two people and the families that love and support them.  It was the perfect mix of tradition and progression for two people who met in a not so traditional way.

Our day began at the beautiful Camp Hill Estate in Fort Washington, PA.  You could get lost in the endless halls and rooms, each with its own charm.  The weather was most perfect, and jitters were minimal as Jordan turned to see Melody for the first time.  Families from across the world gathered as Melody and Jordan declared their love for one another, and advice and well wishes carried the bride and groom through the night.

I couldn’t be happier to have been able to share in this day with these two very special people! Continue reading “First Korean Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia | Melody and Jordan | Ambler, PA, Wedding Photography” →

La Massaria at Bella Vista Wedding Photography | Laura and Mike | Gilberstville Wedding Photography

bridal details at la massaria at bella vista in Gilbertsville pa

The most dreamy orange sun hung low in the sky as Laura and Mike walked hand and hand towards the horizon at La Massaria at Bella Vista.  As their wedding day was wrapping up, they stepped away from the crowd of dancing loved ones and basked in the glow that surrounded them; the glow that makes your cheeks hurt from smiling; the glow of being just married.  I’m not a believer in perfection, but Laura and Mike and their wedding day— it was pretty close.

La Massaria at Bella Vista in Gilberstville was the perfect location for Mike and Laura’s ceremony and reception.  The rolling greens, the rustic barn wood and stone, and of course the amazing food (y’all, there was a potato bar with pierogies).  Soft details and pastel colors paired perfectly with the rustic setting.  As we were photographing details (and eating pierogies) I noted to Elizabeth that this was one of the smoothest weddings we had ever photographed.  Laura and Mike are so loving and calm and they didn’t seem to have a single nervous flutter about them.  We joked and laughed throughout the day and at times I forgot I was working.

I am so excited to wrap up this gallery.  Laura and Mike, thank you for having me photograph your day!  it was more than I could have dreamed of! Continue reading “La Massaria at Bella Vista Wedding Photography | Laura and Mike | Gilberstville Wedding Photography” →

Gulph Mills Golf Club Wedding | Whitney and Jake | Philadelphia Wedding Photography

Perfect spring weddings are always accompanied by a few things- rain drizzles, light and airy colors, and smiles that reach the ears.  Whitney and Jake had all 3 and so much more for their Gulph Mills Golf Club Wedding.  They said their “I Do’s” in one of the most breathtaking churches I have been in, Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church.  The dark vaulted ceilings and stained glass speckled walls set the stage for the elegant wedding Whitney and Jake had planned.

I could not have dreamed of a better day for Whitney and Jake.  Everything from the food to the entertainment to the dancing at the Gulph Mills Golf Club was seamless.  The dance floor was never empty, especially when Whitney played “Shout” in tribute to her father.  You could feel the floor bouncing as everyone jumped and yelled in unison.

I couldn’t be more honored to have been a part of this day.  I could go on and on, but I am not a writer, and I feel my photos tell a better story.  Enjoy some of my favorites! Continue reading “Gulph Mills Golf Club Wedding | Whitney and Jake | Philadelphia Wedding Photography” →

Desmond Hotel Wedding | Becky and Michael | Malvern PA

All eyes were on Becky as she turned and started walking down the aisle in the Ballroom at the Desmond Hotel towards her groom, string quartet playing quietly in the background.  Michael grinned ear to ear, and for those watching, he and Becky seemed to be the only ones in the room.  They exchanged their vows, beamed down the aisle, and boogied the night away.

I can’t recall a more calm bride on her wedding day.  Becky was the picture of poise, her joy overflowing.  As she snuggled on the couch between her mom and sister, rain began to fall outside, which seems to be a daily trend during the summer of 2017.  They chatted about old memories and inside jokes until is a fury of tulle, they shuffled off to the Desmond to marry her husband.

The rains stopped just after the ceremony and allowed us some much desired time outdoors.  Despite the fact that the air felt like soup, Becky and Michael were nothing but smiles.  If there is one thing about these two that you should know, it’s that their laughs are infectious.  When one starts, it’s hard to know where the other one ends in terms of laughs.  And Micheal… he’s always watching Becky laugh.  It’s the cutest thing ever, and I’m sure he won’t appreciate me saying this 🙂

The party started off with a bang and featured a shout out to the Eagles, solo dance offs from the bride and groom, and a grand bubble exit.

Congratulations Becky and Michael!  Thank you for having me along for your day!
