THE SILK MILL – NEW HOLLAND, PA

A complete wedding day. How unusual and surreal it was to experience a wedding day from start to finish. Not that it was their original plan or anything like it, but it was beautiful. Another bride and groom who rolled with the punches and made it happen in the most beautiful way possible. Despite all the obstacles, love seems to find a way.

I photographed Crissa’s brother’s wedding over a year ago and i love love love when family members and bridal party come back to find me for their own weddings. Darrien’s mom is also a sister to a former bride of mine… We are pretty connected here in Lancaster, PA and i don’t mind it one bit. I was so excited to shoot their wedding and it turned out so so beautifully. My first time being to The Silk Mill, a new venue in Lancaster, PA, and it was lovely. It was so fun to meet Hope, with “Hair by Hope Mackenzie” for the first time at this wedding. I’ve taken photos of more than one of her brides in the past but we had not yet met in real life, guys, she is so so sweet and talented! The kind of fun and magic we can create when we all pull together to make this the best day ever for the bride and the groom. That is the kind of day that it was. And these two are just the sweetest couple ever.

Crissa’s getting ready photos happened at her parents’ home and it was fitting that we would also do the First Look there before driving over to formal photos. We could not have asked for a more perfect day! Two beautiful families and an amazing wedding day.

XOXO – DIANE
