Stone Hedge Winter Wedding | Lynette & Jacob

Lynette & Jacob celebrated a perfect day on a December afternoon in Northeastern Pennsylvania!  This Stone Hedge Winter Wedding was such a beautiful affair (seriously, I just love the Christmas season... throw in a wedding and it's perfection).  The bride was going for a vintage Winter wedding inspiration, so Lynette's gorgeous backless lace gown paired with the bridesmaids sophisticated champagne dresses were beautifully accented by subtle pops of deep cranberry & merlot in the bouquets.  Oh, did I forget to mention punches of metallic gold in Lynette's killer shoes?

Upon arriving at the hotel where Lynette & the her bridal party were getting ready, I spotted a dish of candy that I knew I wanted to somehow incorporate into my ring shots.  I love keeping things natural and incorporating only elements from a wedding day that are actually there.  Found items, such as these peppermint candies help to tell a little more of the story!

What is your favorite memory from the day? Oh to pick just one is so hard. Seeing Jacob as I walked out onto the isle in the church, after the ceremony getting to relax and have fun with pictures with Jacob and the bridal party, the speeches, and at the end of the night when all the formalities were done and we could let loose and have fun on the dance floor with all of our friends and family!
