glimpse: Jessica + Derek, Ash Mill Farm Wedding Photography

We can’t say it enough about how we get to meet and work with, some of the nicest couples out there. Jessica + Derek were exactly that! Their early fall wedding was held entirely at the quaint Ash Mill Farm and the weather was that perfect airy overcast which blanketed everything with warm light. The farmhouse with its sprawling front porch provided the perfect spot for some of Jessica’s final touch-ups getting ready with mom. Within moments Derek was going to see her for the first time during their first look and everyone couldn’t be more excited to sneak a peek. It was a perfect moment as Jessica’s bridesmaids cheered on. The farm had beautiful backdrops everywhere you looked and a quick tour around the venue was all we needed for some stunning portraits. A few sheep even came to say congrats! It was almost go-time as the outdoor ceremony filled up with friends and family. The ceremony location looked like a fairy tale with beautiful floral arrangements leading to the arbor. A quick yet emotion-filled ceremony was followed by a few photos with the family. By this point, everyone was ready to meet the newlyweds and get down to some partying! A quick walk over to the decked-out white tent where the celebration continued throughout the night. We are so happy to have met such an amazing couple and wish them many years of happiness. Congrats Jessica + Derek!

Glimpse: Laurena + Rudy, The Lodge at Mountain Springs Lake Resort Wedding Photography

As always, we couldn't be more excited to share this wedding day blog! Laurena + Rudy looked absolutely amazing as they said their I do's in front of friends and family at the beautiful Lodge at Mountain Springs Lake Resort. In traditional fashion, the day started off with the girls and guys getting ready for the day ahead. We got some great personal moments as the day started to unfold. Details add such a special personalized touch today, so we made sure to get some beautiful close-ups to help tell their story. First looks are a great way to share a very special and secluded moment with that special someone and Laurena decided this moment would be perfect for her and dad as well as Rudy. Of course, both looks were full of emotion and joy! All that was left to do was tie the knot, but first a few bridal portraits around the scenic venue. Just like that, it was time and Laurena was walking down the aisle to marry the love of her life. The ceremony was quick and beautifully set under the dapple of a giant hardwood tree. Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Haluza! The reception was full of dancing, laughing and great food but the introductions were very special. Laurena + Rudy met back in band, and decided to serenade friends and family to a song in place of a first dance. We must say that was really cool to see and they did a great job! All and all another amazing wedding to add to the books and a great couple to share such a special time with. A big congrats to Laurena + Rudy and to a lifetime of happiness!

Glimpse: Rachel + Barry, Folino Estate Wedding Photography

We are super excited to share Rachel + Barry's wedding day blog! We had the pleasure of meeting this fun and down to earth couple during their engagement session at one of their favorite places, New Hope PA. The photo shoot was full of smiles and laughter and we knew right then this couple would be a blast to work with! The day started off with some excited bridal parties getting ready at a local hotel. A quick celebratory drink and we were off the beautiful Folino Estate. Although Rachel wanted to wait for Barry to see her walking down the aisle, she did want a sneak peek with her dad and we are so glad they did. What a sweet moment and joyful look on dads face. A few fierce-looking bridal shots and it was ready to hide away before the ceremony. Rachel looked absolutely stunning as she was ushered in by her mom and brother as her dad and Barry stood at the altar. Rachel's father also was the one who would marry the two making this an even more special moment for everyone. After a few heartwarming stories and some great life lessons, it was about time to meet the new Mr and Mrs! After the ceremony, we took full advantage of the setting sun and beautiful landscape for a bridal party shot and some romantic portraits of the newlyweds. As the sun goes down the party starts and the no better way the open the dance floor than with a live musical performance from the bride's parents! How perfect is that?! The night only got better from there on with the music pumping and party toys. One last night shot was a perfect send off to a very memorable day. Congrats to an amazing couple and we wish Rachel + Barry a lifetime of happiness!

Glimpse: Cassie + Tyler, Bally Spring Inn Wedding Photography

Our most recent wedding took us to the quaint Bally Spring Inn for an amazing wedding with Cassie + Tyler and their loving guests. We had the pleasure of meeting this great couple, and their dogs, while photographing their engagement photos last spring and we knew their big day would be a joy to shoot. We started the day off with a few getting ready shots followed by two heartwarming first looks. The cool basement of the charming farmhouse was the perfect spot for the guys to chill out while the girls finished up with hair and makeup above in the beautiful window light. The look on the grooms face when he first turns to see the bride never gets old! A quick stroll around the beautiful grounds for some bridal party shots and portraits. Just in time too! A summer storm rolled right as we were finishing photos. A quick ceremony with a refreshing craft beer toast and this awesome couple was officially husband and wife! Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Sassano! The main barn has all the historic charm plus modern upgrades that provide the space with plenty of room and natural light. Needless to say, we had a blast celebrating this special moment with these two great families and we wish Cassie + Tyler and lifetime of happiness!

Glimpse: Erin + Tristan, Bell Gate Farm Wedding Photography

There is nothing more beautiful than a bright and colorful summer wedding! Erin + Tristan's big day was filled with heartwarming moments from start to finish and we couldn't have been happier to share this special time with them both. Bell Gate Farm provided a secluded and natural backdrop for this outdoor loving couple and we definitely wanted to utilize all that charm. Onsite bridal and groom suites were super convenient and nice for some early afternoon candids of everyone getting ready for the big day. Erin really wanted a first look with her dad and what a great choice that was. His look of overwhelming joy says it all. Their short and sweet ceremony was accompanied by loving words and adorned with rustic details that blended right into Bell Gate's country setting. Congrats to the new Mr. + Mrs.! Friends and family were having a blast catching up during cocktail hour while we grabbed a few stunning pics of the newlyweds before their big introduction. The great barn had the space, character, and all the amenities for a rocking celebration and that's exactly what these two families did! Great weather, good food and music, and being surround by the people you love made this the perfect way to end an epic day. A big congrats to Erin + Tristan and we wish them a lifetime of happiness!

Glimpse: Katie + Andy, Historic Bethlehem Wedding Photography

Our most recent wedding was intimate and very local but nothing short of spectacular! Katie + Andy’s warm summer wedding was close to home and full of some familiar faces. We had the pleasure of photographing Katie’s brother Tim’s wedding a few years ago and were delighted when Katie + Andy approached us about their big day. Needless to say it was great to see everyone again! Downtown historic Bethlehem played and continues to play a meaningful role in this couples life so it was a natural choice for them to have their celebration here and we couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop for some beautiful photos. A quick sun kissed ceremony was followed by a few minutes walk to the historic Bethlehem mansion where a glamorous reception awaited. The nearness of everything not only showcased the heart of downtown Bethlehem but allowed plenty of time for friends and family to really catch up and enjoy each others company which was very important to Katie + Andy. A few heartfelt toasts and a truly epic Bethlehem sunset really was the perfect goodbye to a truly amazing day. We are so happy for Katie + Andy and wish them a lifetime of happiness!
