Hi Friends,
I cannot believe July is already here! Now that Grace & Anthony have their full gallery in hand, I’ve been dying to share a peek into their gorgeous day. Their Medberry Patch wedding in Stoneboro, PA was filled with rustic charm, joyful tears, and a touch of whimsy from beginning to end. If you’ve been around for a bit, you’ve already seen their sweet engagement session at Buhl Park — complete with a picnic basket and the kind of glowy light dreams are made of. But now… let’s talk wedding day. ✨
Grace & Anthony tied the knot at The Medberry Patch in Stoneboro, PA, a venue that was new to me — and y’all, I’m obsessed. It felt like the perfect mix of rustic and whimsical. Picture a charming reception space with exposed wood beams (not quite a barn, but that same cozy feel), a dance floor that just begs for celebration, and the cutest side room where Grace could sneak a peek at guests arriving. Oh — and a cookie table, obviously. 💕
The decor? Straight out of a fairytale. Grace’s mom put in so much love decorating in the days leading up to the wedding — from delicate florals to twinkle lights that bathed the room in soft, romantic glow. Long, connected tables made everything feel warm and communal — like a family dinner with 70 of your favorite people. And for the ceremony, guests helped roll out a white aisle runner (which totally pulled the scene together), leading to a dreamy backdrop built from half a grain bin decked in blooms.
Tissues were mandatory at this ceremony. Between the meaningful readings, a candle-lighting with their moms, and the way these two looked at each other… it was impossible not to cry. Grace’s dad walked her down the aisle and needless to say there wasn’t a dry eye insight.
After the ceremony, Grace & Anthony hopped on a tractor ride (yes, a literal just-married joyride!) to the back of the property, where they were greeted with bubbles, snacks, and even apples to feed the horses. Those 20 minutes alone were so intentional — a moment for just the two of them to soak it all in. We took their first round of portraits right there, and yes, the horses did come running alongside them like something out of a movie.
Back at the ceremony space, their bubble entrance had guests cheering — and trying their best to blow enough bubbles to fill the air. Let’s just say… it was entertaining for all of us. 🤣
Family photos were tender and emotional, filled with proud smiles and teary hugs. And then… it was time for the bridal party portraits and wow — did this crew BRING the energy! They were jumping, laughing, cheering — total hype squad vibes, and I was here for it.
The reception kicked off with intros that included full-on bridal party twirls (and a few surprise spins from the guys), a joyful first dance, and sweet parent dances that had all the dads misty-eyed. Grace’s dad danced with her to what I imagine was a childhood favorite, and Anthony’s mom swayed with her son while dad looked on from the doorway, eyes glistening.
Speeches brought more tears (shoutout to the maid of honor and best man for beautifully heartfelt words), and Grace’s dad gave a welcome speech that had the whole room clapping. After a cake-smearing moment that was almost too cute to handle, it was time to party. The DJ nailed it — from the first beat to the last — and I’m pretty sure every single guest, from toddlers to grandmas, made it to the dance floor.
Just before the night wrapped, we slipped away for sunset portraits (because you know I can’t resist that golden hour glow), and then Grace & Anthony ended the night with a sparkler send-off straight out of a fairytale.
Grace & Anthony — your day was full of joy, laughter, tears, and so much love. Thank you for trusting me to capture it all. 💛
Grace & Anthony’s dreamy summer wedding at The Medberry Patch was full of soft florals, heartfelt vows, a tractor send-off (yes, really!), and a sparkler-filled ending to the perfect day. From emotional moments with family to horses joining in for portraits — this one’s got all the magic. ✨
I knew from the moment our engagement session started in February that Joe & Sam’s wedding was going to be a tear-filled day — not just their eyes, but mine too. I’m a total softie when it comes to love. It’s what drew me into this industry in the first place. And these two? They […]
There’s just something about spring that brings stories to life. The sun feels warmer, the flowers show off, and love seems to radiate through every soft breeze and golden hour glow. I recently had the honor of photographing two incredible couples—Cyrus & Chloe and Grace & Anthony—on back-to-back spring days, and it felt like living inside two fairytales. Their sessions were filled with blooms, romance, and nods to their personal love stories. So I’m bundling both into one dreamy post.
Let’s get entirely too excited together, shall we? 💐✨
Winter engagement sessions always have a special kind of magic—snowy landscapes, intimate moments, and cozy vibes that make everything feel like a winter wonderland.

When you imagine a wedding, you might picture bright daylight, sparkling windows, and an airy ambiance. But what if I told you that a wedding could be just as magical in the intimate glow of a darker setting? Welcome to the unforgettable celebration of this couple’s love at The Corinthian in Sharon, Pennsylvania.
Gina & Cody’s wedding at Yankee Lake Ballroom was full of love, laughter, and joyful tears. See their emotional first look and dreamy portraits at Buhl Park!
