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

Published on May 21, 2019May 21, 2019 by allieskylarphotography@gmail.comLeave a comment

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:

Terrain Gardens Wedding | Chelsea and Travis | Devon Wedding Photography

Chelsea and Travis had the wedding the couples dream of. A crisp Autumn day, lush colors all around, and a warmth that hits you like a cloud when you walk in the reception room (lots of dancing bodies will do that!). While a rain free day would have been ideal, we were armed with umbrellas, great spirits, and just enough breaks in the storm to take advantage of the space at Terrain Gardens in Devon, PA.

Having known Chelsea for a few years, from all of those late nights working for Anthropologie, I was confident that the details of her wedding day would be top notch. The wood and metal accents, lush soft color pallet, and warm glow of 1000 candles, combined with her and Travis’ classically elegant attire, created an atmosphere that could overwhelm the senses! Guests were greeted with hot cider, fire pits, and Terrain’s top notch food (flower pot bread included!).

I could ramble on and on about the details of this wedding, but if you strip it all away, it comes down to Chelsea and Travis. This day was them. Every element contained a glimpse into their love. They never stopped looking at each other, or holding hands, and I’m sure they’ll be doing just that in 50 years.

I’m so excited to be able to deliver their gallery to them, and I am happy to share some of their story with everyone else as well!

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” →

The Farmhouse at Peoples Light Wedding | Carolyn and Nick | West Chester Wedding Photography

Published on July 19, 2018 by allieskylarphotography@gmail.com5 Comments

bride and groom run through the streets of west chester pennsylvania It was supposed to rain…. like torrential downpours, all throughout West Chester and the Philadelphia Suburbs. Carolyn, Nick, and I prepared for their summer wedding with umbrellas and boots, discovered covered areas for wedding portraits in downtown West Chester, and said a prayer or two. As the morning of their wedding dawned, blue skies could be seen for miles. To our amazement, the day was dry and overcast, and the rains came at the exact time the reception ended.

Honestly, rain on a wedding day isn’t the worst thing. It’s inconvenient and bothersome, but there are plenty of ways to work around it! And with the right attitude, it’s magical. Carolyn and Nick brought their own blue skies with them. Their joy was infectious, and I think Mother Nature caught it.

West Chester is one of my favorite places to shoot in general. I’ve shot at Saint Agnes Parish before, and adore the high dark ceilings and moody stone steps. There’s nothing quite like photographing a 20 person wedding party on a main street, but West Chester is one of the places to do it! Motorists and pedestrians are only too happy to share in the festivities.

Carolyn and Nick celebrated with their friends and family at the Farmhouse at People’s Light and Theater. The Farmhouse offers the perfect marriage of rustic charm and elegance. Surrounded by fields and lush trees, there is never a shortage of photo locations.

Honestly, this blog post has taken me FOREVER because it has been so hard to narrow down photos. The photos I take are more than just photos— they’re memories of time spent with people who are incredibly important to me. There aren’t enough photos or words in the world to show my love for my couples! Here’s a preview of this most wonderful day!

Rose Bank Winery Wedding | Newtown PA Wedding | Steph and Nick

Labor Day weekend is meant to be spent at a Winery celebrating love! This past Labor Day weekend, I had the opportunity to photograph Steph and Nick’s beautiful wedding at Rose Bank Winery in Newtown, PA. Being a Pennsylvania Wedding Photographer, I am always amazed with the rustic charm of wedding venues scattered across the state, and Rose Bank Winery did not disappoint! From the sweeping vineyards, to the rustic wood details, to the scattering of eucalyptus, as the sun sank low behind the vines, I couldn’t imagine a place I would rather be.

Steph and Nick were married in the lawn under an old oak tree, with curious goats watching from their pens at the rear. As the party moved inside (and I do mean party—- a wedding that starts off with the bride and groom shotgunning a drink is definitely going to be a good one) and the dancing began, Nick and Steph were beaming surrounded by their favorite people.

Here are some of my favorites! Continue reading “Rose Bank Winery Wedding | Newtown PA Wedding | Steph and Nick” →
