Kristen & Stephen’s elegant spring wedding at the charming Parque was full of timeless style and modern whimsy. Parque was the perfect venue for this couple – Stephen, a midwesterner, appreciates simple and rustic style, while Kristen is drawn to more whimsical and romantic details and at Parque they got the best of both worlds. From the stunning invitations by Grain and Dot that featured an illustration of the venue to the abundance of lush, romantic florals Kristen & Stephen’s aesthetic seamlessly complimented their vision of a timeless spring wedding.  

Kristen’s makeup by Smashbrush was perfection, while her elaborate up-do by Top Knots by Amiee mirrored the wild beauty of the flowers in her overflowing bouquet. I just loved her classic structural dress by Suzanne Neville. Petals with Style designed a reception dripping with blush blooms and floral accents that seamlessly blended into the natural beauty on Parque’s sprawling grounds. Kristen is a former cheerleader for the Jets, so naturally a surprise cheer broke out during cocktail hour! Led by the energetic Joe Baracata Band, the newlyweds danced into the evening surrounded by family and friends. This fairy-tale of a spring wedding is one for the books!

We were thrilled to have Kristen & Steven’s wedding featured in the 2023 issue of Pennsylvania Weddings Magazine and featured on their blog!

One of the most valuable things you will need on your wedding day, is an absolutely amazing photographer to truly capture not just the moments of the day, but the essence of it. If you’re looking for that – hire Emily and her team today! There aren’t enough nice things I can say about Emily and her team. Not only is Emily professional, responsive, organized, flexible and a joy to work with, she is absolutely amazing at what she does. Our guests were so impressed with our engagement photos, they keep asking when we will receive pictures because they equally cannot wait to see what was captured on our special day! One of the things we loved about Emily and her team most was their willingness to be flexible on our wedding day. Sadly Mother Nature didn’t fully align with our plans and our day started out with rain, then cleared up in time for our ceremony. While most photographers could have chosen to cut down time on capturing certain shots, Emily and her team were creative in finding new locations to capture images, were constantly checking radar and the weather to sneak us outside when possible, and simply made the most of every opportunity in the day to ensure she captured everything we asked for and more. If you’re looking for someone to help you relive every moment of your special day, and fall in love all over again every time you look through your wedding album, Emily is hands down the photographer to hire and one of the best investments you will ever make on your wedding day! – Kristen & Stephen
