It was a gorgeous day!

They decided to have a beautiful summer wedding at French Creek Golf Club in Elverson.

Their wedding colors were beautiful pastel greens for the bridesmaids (Agnes Edmunds), paired with Jenn’s gorgeous Oleg Cassini dress, while the men wore sharp tan suits from Weitzenkorn’s in Pottstown.

Jenn’s makeup was done by Melissa Goldsmith and hair was done by Lord and Ladies. The flowers were expertly arranged by Laurie Sasko Designs and the cake was made by Desserts International in Exton.

The ceremony was breathtaking with the rolling countryside of Pennsylvania behind them. They had a wonderful officiant, Rev. Kent Foster, guide the ceremony as Pete Smyser played accoustic music.

I also had the pleasure to work with Martin’s Video and Schaffer Sound, both companies that I’ve had experience working with before, and they are always professional, helpful and willing to work with me throughout the day to make sure the wedding goes smoothly, without a hitch. This is so important, since it results in the couple remembering their wedding fondly, which is my ultimate goal!

So all in all, this was a dream wedding for two great people in love!

Here are the beautiful events that unfolded that day:

They had ordered our popular online gallery cards and set them at each place setting for guests to take home! Such a great idea! They also made a charitable contribution to a wonderful animal rescue, All 4 Paws, in Spring City. This rescue is actually where we adopted our two pups, Dillinger and Kelsey!

He’s sincere, dedicated to his craft, talented in his craft, and he’s always trying to help fellow artists. As mentioned before, he sent me his beautiful albums, “Easy Fires” and “Brother to the Wind” here. Well, he invited me and my husband to see him perform live at Rose Tree, which is a gorgeous venue. I had to take photos, so here’s a little preview of the outstanding show Craig and his buddies put on that night!

Liz looked beautiful in her lace veil and the event was decorated with natural soft details, as well as unique items from Etsy.com (a website offering artists’ work for sale), including the ring holding dish! The cake’s icing, done by  Sweets to You by Ginger, was made to look like tree bark and they had a wonderful candy bar during cocktail hour with rustic accents, including old wooden crates used as platforms. Chris Horne played acoustic music during the ceremony and once the party started for the reception, it was MC’d by DJ Baby Bubba! Congrats Liz and John!

Their first meeting!

Craziest wedding party photo! :D
