Green Gables Wedding

Green Gables Wedding, Alexi and Steve

Alexi and Steve decided on an intimate wedding ceremony and reception, held at Green Gables in Jennerstown PA for there “I Do’s”.

Their ceremony on the outside terrace was filled with personal touches, including Alexi’s walk down the aisle to “Let it Go”, played by violin, and their unique unity ceremony of planting a tree together as opposed to lighting a candle. After their first kiss the couple shared private vows for only each other on the grounds of the venue. Green Gables has so many spots for photo opportunities and these two were so laid back and relaxed (& we got really lucky with the gorgeous colors of the trees and sky that day!) and everything about working with them both was easy. It was sincerely such a joy to be around them and feel the love the have for each other.

Below are some of my favorite images that share the story of Alexi & Steve’s day! xoxo

Green Gables Wedding, Hannah & Connor, Ligonier Wedding Photographer

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:
