ASHLEY + EVAN (A WHIMSICAL, GARDEN PARTY WEDDING IN PENNSYLVANIA)

In honor of Throwback Thursday, I’m posting this fave wedding of mine from 2013. Seven years later, Ashley and Evan’s wedding still holds up extraordinarily. I think this is a credit to Ashley’s timeless vision for her day as well as incredible attention to detail.

Featured on Style Me Pretty in 2015

“Ashley & Evan are childhood sweethearts. They shared their first kiss in a pine tree in the 7th grade and have been together ever since. They were married on August 17, 2013 at Fiore Farm (a private family farm) in Hollidaysburg, PA. Ashley’s aim was to create a “formal whimsical garden party” where guests would dine at a continuous outdoor dining table covered in moss, taper candles, and vintage place settings, all under a canopy of bulb lights. Ashley (who runs Glitter + Grain, an Etsy decor shop) & family oversaw all of the decorations for the wedding, including the strands of ombre dyed rope and garlands hanging over the ceremony, as well as the fit-for-a-Gatsby reception tent where Kerr Kreations effortlessly strung flowers and moss to create a breathtaking hanging centerpiece. Other notable details: The wedding ceremony programs adhered inside antique books and handed to the guests to read while they waited, the rings placed inside terrariums and carried by the ring bearers, customized napkins with fun facts about the bride and groom, the bridal party arriving in vintage Rolls Royce cars, and a golden confetti reception entrance. The exquisite details may be what make Ashley & Evan’s wedding a day to remember, but it’s their long-lasting love for each other that is truly unforgettable.”

EMMA + DILLON (A WEDDING AT TUFT'S MANSION IN WISCONSIN)

What a frickin delight it was to photograph Emma and Dillon’s wedding. From our very first meeting I loved their energy and enthusiasm for what would become an epic garden party wedding at Tuft’s Mansion in their hometown of Neillsville, Wisconsin. Emma was amazingly detail oriented and had impeccable taste. I love how she tied together their vibe and color palette from the invites to the florals (the amazing Kindred Blooms!) to the banquet style reception tables with pink, romantic tablecloths. The day flew by and I honestly wish I could go back and photograph it all over again because of how fun it was.

Emma and Dillon, it was such an honor to photograph your wedding! Thank you for being awesome people who have now become my real-life friends. I know you will have the best future together because you are two, loving, generous people who so clearly treasure each other above all else.
