Emilie and Elliot's Backyard Wedding

Emilie and Elliot had the most stunning wedding on their family’s home in the hills of Pennsylvania. It was the perfect day filled with friends and family and a breathtaking backdrop! I met both Emilie and Elliot in the house as they both got ready on separate floors. It’s always fun when I can do both the bride and groom prep because they are getting ready at the same location. As the house bustled with activity Emilie got into her gown with the help of her sisters and Elliot prepared downstairs with his groomsmen. Afterwards we headed out front for the first look then bridal party and family photos. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting. We were surrounded by mature trees that helped keep the heat at bay and provided such nice light. Once it was time for the ceremony we moved around back where the ceremony was setup facing the hillside. Emilie’s father officiated the ceremony after walking her down the aisle to Elliot. I love when family or friends officiate the ceremony because it adds such a personal touch to the event. Once the ceremony was completed we headed back out front for the reception under the tent. Floral arrangements and beautiful greenery decorated every bit of the space to create a garden wonderland. It was amazing and I had so much fun capturing all the details that were so thoughtfully put together. It provided the perfect backdrop for Emilie and Elliot’s reception.
