Kimmy and Henry were married on July 17 at the gorgeous Wind in the Willows in Grantville, PA, and their disco garden party wedding was SO much fun! 🪩

With colorful flowers, disco balls, and so many fun details, they absolutely brought their vision to life. Kimmy chose bright shades of pink and orange for her bridesmaids, while Henry and his groomsmen wore classic navy suits. 🩷🧡

Kimmy and Henry met while attending Liberty University! This past year, they were both working as international teachers in different countries while somehow also planning the wedding of their dreams! I’d say they definitely pulled it off.

The couple chose to do a first look so we could capture their portraits before the ceremony, and it was such a sweet moment. They also took that time to read their personal vows to each other, which made it even more meaningful. Their ceremony was held in the beautiful chapel on the property. The historic church and stained-glass windows made for such a gorgeous setting.

Then it was time to party! The evening started with a sweet first dance, followed by a choreographed dance to a Taylor Swift song that was SO fun to watch. There were heartfelt toasts, dinner, dancing, cake, doughnuts, and plenty of celebrating with the people they love most. 🥂

Kimmy and Henry, thank you for allowing me to capture your incredible wedding day. I loved being a part of your celebration and wish you both a lifetime of love, happiness, and plenty of fun along the way!

A little celebrating before saying “I do.” 🤍

Before heading to Mexico for their private elopement, Monica & Ray celebrated with a civil ceremony in Harrisburg and took some time to capture portraits together before their next adventure. ✨

I loved getting to document this special piece of their story before they officially tied the knot in Mexico. Proof that your wedding story can look exactly the way you want it to! Wishing these two a lifetime of happiness together! 🥂🤍
