Emily and Darren were married in February, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. February in Pennsylvania, of course, is known to be mild and gentle with lots of sunny days and spring-like temperatures...
Umm, no. I had you going there, right? February in Pennsylvania is usually a brutal test of will and fortitude with bitter cold temperatures and white-knuckle commutes.
Now as a wedding photographer, I start compulsively checking the weather forcast about ten days out from a wedding. While good weather on the wedding day feels like a blessing, good weather on a wedding day in February feels like a gift from the Gods, which is exactly what we got on February 18th!
It was sunny and in the high 40's and just warm enough to be outside. Emily and Darren made a striking couple and were excited to use the Franklin & Marshall campus as the backdrop for their wedding photos. We started with their first look in front of the Ann & Richard Barshinger Life Sciences & Philosophy Building; an elegant, grand building with tall graceful columns that echoed the momentousness of the first time they would see each other on their wedding day.
Our next stop was the Sponaugle-Williamson Field, where they went on their first date together. We also took photos in front of Old Main, the Green Room Theatre, and Lancaster Theological Seminary which created the perfect backdrop for some more romantic photos.
They were married in an intimate ceremony with close family and friends at the Gypsy Kitchen at 4:30 pm. The officiant was Lancaster Mayor, Danene Sorace and musical accompaniment was provided by Scott Parmer. Emily, her family, and the Gypsy Kitchen staff did a beautiful job decorating the space with long white tables layered with greens and flowers and candles to create a whimsical and dreamy setting for their reception and all of their guests.
But don't just take my word for it, check out the photos in their gallery below! Congratulations again to the happy couple!
