Event Barn at Highland Farms, Somerset PA Wedding

in

Katie and Jonathan married at the Event Barn at Highland Farms in Somerset on probably the hottest day of the summer. But nothing was going to stop them from cherishing every moment of their wedding day. From the first time Jonathan laid eyes on Katie, his smile lit up and remained the rest of the day, to their beautiful outdoor ceremony, and to Katie emotionally holding her new husband as they danced while remembering loved ones. The sky darkened with rain clouds and thunder late in the evening and the new husband and wife playfully ran through the showers to cool off (and for some awesome photos!).

Thank you so much Katie and Jonathan! It was a beautiful day and I am so thankful for the part I got to play in it.

Big thanks to Kelsey for joining me to photograph this lovely day! Some of her work is mixed in above with mine. And special thanks to all of these vendors for their hard work as well!

Green Gables Wedding, Catherine and Tyler

in

I met Catherine and Tyler about 3 years ago while we were all working at the Ligonier Camp and Conference Center. That was the summer I was thrown from a horse, breaking my collarbone and needing quite a bit of extra help. These two stepped up and helped me by continuing to run the horse program while I was unable. Little did I know that a romance had been developing between them. Fast forward a few years and they asked me to share in their wedding day, and as soon as I heard they were engaged it was like “ah! yes! They’re perfect for each other!”. And it was one of my most favorite days I’ve spent with a couple. Both Tyler and Catherine are just the sweetest, so warm and affectionate.

And so on the day of their wedding, I watched these two kind souls laugh and smile and kiss and pledge to spend their lives together. We had plenty of time for portraits and the weather and sun cooperated so that they were surrounded by light and warmth the entire time. Catherine wore a beautiful dress that had first been worn by her Great Aunt and their reception was held at Green Gables in Jennerstown. Catherine and Tyler skipped the traditional cake cutting and instead cut pies and personally served them while greeting and chatting with each of their guests. And the whole day felt like a homecoming for me to see all of my friends from camp and be able to document so many people I loved as well.

This wedding could not have been a better start to my 2019. There are just too many images that are favorites from this day. I hope you’ll take a peek and enjoy!

Thanks so much to Holly for second shooting with me! Some of her images are mixed in above! And a special thanks to these vendors who also helped make everything so beautiful:
