Wedding

Tiffany & Jacob | Elysburg, PA by Tara Tayan

Tiff and Jacob tied the knot on Jacob’s family property near Elysburg, Pennsylvania. Right behind the red barn, they decorated a handmade altar and ceremony area with dusty blue and navy accents. It started out as a warm, beautiful day however just as we ended our first look and portrait session, the rain came. It torrentially down poured for about 15 minutes, bringing dark skies and dampness to everything. “It’s like rainnnn on your wedding day…” I sang.

It did not deter the fun of the day at all! As soon as there was a break in the clouds everyone scrambled to take the remaining photos and start the ceremony with as many umbrellas on hand as possible. The rain held off literally the perfect amount of time because it started pouring as soon as we all entered the reception.

With favors of moonshine and shots of whiskey waiting for the wedding party, they were all ready to get down! A perfect way to end the night - dancing and drinking with all your closest friends! :)

Taylor & Solomon | Moshulu by Tara Tayan

Taylor and Solomon’s big day started out with a trolley ride through Old City, Philly! We stopped at the lovely 18th Century Garden, walked over to the First Bank, and then to the iconic waterfront! It was an unusually warm November day as we made our way through all the timeless backdrops of Philadelphia, but it was perfect. Finally they tied the knot on the deck of the Moshulu just as the sun was setting. They celebrated, sang, and danced the night away filing the boat with so much love and laughter.

Laura & Kevin | Springton Manor Farm by Tara Tayan

Sharing the beautiful and blustery wedding day of Laura & Kevin! They tied the knot (for the second time because of 2020!), under the towering Linden Tree with a backdrop of Scottish Highlanders, Belted Galloway cattle, sheep and goats lazily grazing the expansive pastures. It was especially fun for me since Laura and I went to high school together so I got to catch up with so many familiar faces! They had a string quartet play as they walked down the aisle, Laura crocheted all the adorable cactus magnet favors, and we even snuck away to watch the sun set. Perfect ending, perfect day!

Abbey + Austin by Tara Tayan

Abbey & Austin’s day was filled with so much love and light! Surrounded by their friends and family they were married at Grace Chapel and then celebrated their new journey all night long! Their friends and family really knew how to throw down! :) I also loved their beautiful color palette : dusty pinks and navy blues complimented with autumn-inspired burgundy bouquets. It was a beautiful day to be a part of. I hope you enjoy!

Laura + Kevin by Tara Tayan

This has been a crazy year y’all. It has been disappointing in so many ways however it showed us the things we truly value. Love is always at the top of that list in many forms. I’m so glad that we were still able to celebrate Laura + Kevin. Despite changing plans due to the pandemic and crazy summer thunderstorms, the day was filled with so much love. With their friends + family surrounding them, Laura & Kevin created a beautifully intimate ceremony complete with a bubble finale. It was an honor and a pleasure to photograph their special day. Congratulations you two!
