Melanie and Collin added some very sweet, intentional moments to their wedding day. They actually did a last kiss with their moms during their ceremony. It was before they had their own first kiss and their moms were so surprised by it and it added such a sentimental feeling to their ceremony time. After their ceremony, their reception area was beautiful and they had planned a choreographed first dance. It was SO good and their family and friends were such a fun crowd!

Of course, one of my all time favorite details they included was the champagne! They did a super fun spray during golden hour portraits and they did a champagne tower! It was an actual dream and we had such a blast with them! Their reception was full of laughs, so much dancing, and the best family and friends surrounding them. Also, did I mention Melanie’s wedding dress was absolutely jaw dropping!

Thornbury Farms created the perfect space for Dana + Conor’s Wedding Day. It was an absolute dream to photograph and capture their love story. They kept their wedding day intimate and intentional and it was so beautiful! Their wedding day was made of the sweetest touches, her absolutely stunning lace wedding dress, and the dreamiest simple boho decor. It was an honor to witness and photograph. Dana and Conor chose to do a first look (yay!) and exchanged personal vows together, all ending in shedding a few tears, including me. It was so heartfelt and intentional and I couldn’t hold it back witnessing such a beautiful moment between these two.

If you’re looking for a beautiful venue around West Chester, you have found it in Thornbury Farms! It is full of nature and greenery and perfect for couples who love the outdoors. For their ceremony, Dana and Conor sealed their marriage under a gorgeous tree. Their reception followed and it was just as beautiful. They had food trucks and drinks under a stunning pavilion that also doubled as the perfect dance floor!

Boho Intimate Outdoor Wedding in Pennsylvania

There was something so beautiful about their ceremony. For one, the tree and timing created the most gorgeous , perfect light for them to exchange their first kiss. Dana’s father passed away a few years ago and we all could feel his presence during their ceremony. I was being creative during their ceremony and using a copper pipe to create a flare, but instead we got this beam of light shining down on Dana. It gave us the chills and we all believe it was her dad shining down on her special moment.
