Farm Fresh // Farm-to-Table Weddings

ryland inn wedding photos  farm to table weddings photo

Farm-to-table, also known as farm-to-fork, is essentially a consumer practice that promotes the utilization of foods that complement seasonal availability and on purchasing from local and family farms that greater employ environmentally friendly practices.  It also includes promoting local community and school gardens.

Farm-to-table cuisine is based on a movement that actually started decades ago to counter the overly-processed and imported foods that were taking over the market.  Restaurants like Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California set the standards for locally and sustainably-sourced, seasonal and organic ingredients.  Other select restaurants followed suit, however within the last ten years, the farm-to-table movement has seen a brand new and robust following.

The Sunlight of Love // Erin + Zack

In Erin and Zack, we have another delightful couple that went to high school together… however these two were not high school sweethearts (although Erin admits that she did have a little crush on Zack)!  After college, they ran into each other randomly in the city and that’s when their relationship together began.

Zack has always been there for Erin, and more than ever when sadly, Erin lost her father.  And it was important to Zack to include Erin’s father on the day of his marriage proposal and to propose at a place that was very special to her.  On the day after Thanksgiving, Zack took Erin to Valley Forge National Park where some of her father’s ashes were spread because he wanted to pay his respects to him as the holiday season was beginning.  As they walked toward the location that held the most meaning for her, Zack pulled Erin aside and asked her to marry him.  A photographer hiding behind a tree captured the moment as Erin said ‘yes’!

Erin and Zack’s entire wedding event took place in the beautiful country setting of Springton Manor Farm in Glenmoore, Pennsylvania.  Erin’s matron of honor and bridesmaids wore pretty peachy-pink floral robes as they were getting ready in the Manor House that morning.  And after Erin changed out of her lovely white lace robe and into her gown, she found a quiet space to read her moving love letter from Zack, as the two had exchanged beautiful love letters that each had written earlier.

Zack looked terrific as he wore a bright blue suit, standing apart from his handsome groomsmen dressed in their gray suits for this wonderful outdoor wedding event.  And as they finished getting all dolled up and ready, Erin’s bridal party dressed into long, mismatched dresses in various shades of blush and carried such lovely and lush pink and white bouquets from Edgemont Flower Shop.

Erin’s mother helped her put on her beautiful Sarah Seven wedding gown, with a sheer lace deep V bodice, a low V back design and a gorgeous fitted crepe skirt.  She wore her beautiful blond hair up in a loose, wispy ponytail and fastened a long veil to the back for the ceremony.  And together, she and her mother pinned charms and a photograph of Erin’s father onto her bouquet handle.

Ready for their exciting first look, Zack stood on the country road at their venue and waited for his love to walk up and pinch him on the shoulder.  The two were thrilled for sure to see each other for the first time that day, and exchanged sweet kisses before the bridal party arrived via golf cart for their next photo shoot!

We had such a great time filming as the team from Elizabeth Moore Photography took photos of the couple and bridal party.  Everyone had so much fun and the pastoral setting was simply sublime.  Scroll down and take a look at a couple of wonderful photos from the day that Elizabeth posted on her Facebook page!

Erin’s mother walked her down the aisle for the ceremony which was held under a magnificent shade tree on the farm.  It was such a touching, very personalized ceremony with a beautiful message of love.  And at the conclusion, it was official… Erin and Zack were pronounced, ‘husband and wife’!  Their friends and family then saluted the couple with bubbles to celebrate the newest Mr. & Mrs.

Then, Erin and Zack’s reception began under a gorgeous tent on the property.  It was decorated in white, with accents of pink among lush greenery, and had lovely market string lights draped along the tent’s ceiling.  When Erin and Zack arrived, they kicked off the evening with a special first dance together.

Erin’s mother provided a beautiful welcome speech and toast to the couple, and a bit later, we were treated to wonderful toasts from Erin’s matron of honor and from Zack’s best man.  And everyone was so moved when Zack danced with his mother and Erin danced with her brother before that amazing five-tiered cake from The Master’s Baker was cut.

The party continued well into the evening as their DJ from Lash Entertainment totally rocked the house and kept guests on that dance floor!  This was such a fantastic wedding event and we were so honored and thrilled to be a part of capturing it for the sweet newlyweds.  Congratulations to Erin and Zack!  And to quote a part from one of their toasts that evening, “may your joys be as bright as the morning and your years of happiness, as numerous as the stars in the heavens”.

Love Grows Everyday // Shannon + Bryan

Derby Day holds a special significance to Shannon and Bryan. It’s the day that Bryan proposed to Shannon and the day, one year later, that the two were married!  Bryan’s proposal was well planned.  He popped the question as the two strolled along the creek adjacent to the Liberty Tap Room, a cozy and fun restaurant/bar where they had just enjoyed dinner.  This was also the place where the two had their first encounter.  After Shannon said “yes”, the restaurant guests who had been watching out the window all clapped and cheered!

Their beautiful wedding took place at the historic Phoenixville Foundry in Phoenixville, PA.  This gorgeous venue is one of the oldest structures in the city.  It all began with their ceremony which was held outdoors on this perfect late afternoon.  Shannon and Bryan wrote and read their heartwarming personal vows to each other.  It was obvious that they were crafted lovingly from the heart.  We know that everyone in attendance was deeply moved.

Shannon was so beautiful in her mermaid silhouette wedding gown.  It featured dazzling beading embroidered throughout her gown.  We also loved her veil which she had fastened to the back of her lovely, relaxed updo.

Soft pastel shades of lavender, lilac and pink were the theme colors for this traditional wedding and were reflected wonderfully in the gorgeous flowers which flanked the altar and lined the aisle.  As always, Carl Alan Floral Designs did a magnificent job with the décor for this entire event.  Shannon’s beautiful bridesmaids also coordinated wonderfully wearing long, matching lilac gowns.

The weather was splendid, so we were thrilled to be able to film the couple and wedding party outdoors while Leslie Gilbert Photography took formal photos.  Be sure to check out some of her photos from the day on her blog!  The perfectly landscaped gardens provided a delightful backdrop for photos and video.  The couple also got a private moment to stroll along the Truss bridge on this, one of the most special days of their lives.

The reception then began inside the Phoenixville Foundry’s ballroom.  Inside, the industrial theme celebrates the rich history of the steel foundry, featuring exposed steel trusses along 60 foot high ceilings and clerestory windows.  Shannon and Bryan’s reception was filled with such fun moments.  And The FM Band definitely rocked the house! We saw some amazing dance moves on the dance floor, which remained packed that evening!

This was one amazing wedding from the start, right to the end.  We were so happy to celebrate this day with Shannon and Bryan!  Congratulations to the both of them!
