Green Gables Wedding, Hannah & Connor, Ligonier Wedding Photographer

in

Hannah and Conor have been together since they were 10 years old, and while they didn’t start dating at quite that tender age, it wasn’t too many years later in high school when their longtime friendship turned into something more. After ten years of dating, it’s needless to say they were each a significant part of the other’s family. So this day, that officially combined their two lives, was a very special one for all. The day included many special details as well'; all of the girls wore butterfly hair clips to honor one of their childhood friends that was no longer with them, Hannah’s Dad made her a necklace out of her grandmother’s engagement ring, the couple made placecards out of mini Heinz ketchup bottles and cocktail napkins included fun facts about the bride and groom on their cookie table. The sun was warm and happiness and light radiated throughout the day. There may have been a few tears, but all were for love of this genuine, kind and loving couple.

I was so honored to be there to capture these moments for these two and I did nothing but smile all day. Thank you, thank you Hannah and Conor for allowing me to document this very special day for you!

A special thanks to my dear friend Susie, who helped second shoot this wedding day with me, some of her images are mixed in above. And a special shoutout to all of these vendors for making this day so lovely:

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:
