Stone Mill Inn Wedding // Hallam, PA

I’ve found one of my new favorite PA wedding venues and it could not have been with a sweeter couple! Hannah and Ray are so incredibly kind, loving, and truly meant to be. Everything came together perfectly for their Stone Mill Inn wedding in October. They met online and they truly think fate brought them together. Their proposal took place on Cadillac Mountain in Maine! Ray and Hannah took a last minute trip there after another trip was cancelled. Because Hannah always wanted to see the sunrise on Cadillac Mountain, they decided to head up there one morning, and Ray asked her to marry him there.

If that wasn’t adorable enough, they also told me they want everyone at their wedding to feel how in love they are. After touring Stone Mill Inn, they knew it was a no brainer for them to get married here! They wanted nature to play a big role in their wedding day and the grounds at Stone Mill Inn sold them right away. I can’t blame them at all, it’s an asbolutely stunning space and the owners are some of the kindest people on the planet. I’m obsessed with their wedding day!

Pre-Ceremony Wedding Photos at Stone Mill Inn

Since they didn’t do a first look, we got a bulk of their photographs done before the ceremony so they had less to do later. The groomsmen and bridesmaids both had their photos done and they had SO much fun. There’s no bad spot on the grounds at Stone Mill Inn. Every nook and cranny is beautifully landscaped and so serene. This is my first Stone Mill Inn wedding and I can’t wait to ccome back here!

Also, they had some dreamy overcast weather and it was SO warm for October. We couldn’t believe it, but it made for beautiful photographs! After we were done with the pre-ceremony photos, everyone headed into hiding to get ready for Hannah and Ray’s ceremony.

Rustic Forest Ceremony at Stone Mill Inn

Remember their emphasis on nature? Well just LOOK at this incredible ceremony spot! The forest ceremony space gives the coziest romantic vibes and I could see why they picked it.

I’ll never get over Ray’s sweet reaction to seeing Hannah. He’s truly in love with her and it shows in every photo of them. These two stole the entire spotlight, and rightfully so! Just look at them *insert teary eyed emoji*

We quickly did family portraits, wedding party portraits, and Hannah and Ray’s portraits before the sun went completely down!

Before we knew it, it was party time! Everyone was ready to eat, dance, and celebrate! Those desserts were soooo dang good, I’m a sucker for good wedding desserts! All in all, it was a wonderful day filled with beautiful moments and love. I’m so happy for Hannah and Ray and so honored they had me photograph their special day!

Rebecca somehow made us both relaxed and produced absolute magic! She instructed us while still making the photos look candid, reliably captured our "good sides," and brought her unique eye for lighting and settings (pro tip: do whatever she says even if it seems funny or in a different location; it will look utterly amazing). Photos can be an investment and I'm glad we did the research and found the perfect photographer for us.

"The best (esp if you're awkward in photos)"

- Lauren + Hunter

I can't even put into words how amazing Rebecca is. We knew from the moment our engagement photos began that we made the right choice. She is so professional, charismatic, and excited to be a part of your big day.  I would recommend her over and over again!

"Speechless."

- Bianca + Kyle

Rebecca was such a joy to work with, our experience with her was absolute perfection from beginning to end! Even from our first conversation, I could tell that she genuinely cares about getting to know her clients and what they prioritize and want to capture on the big day. She was always so responsive and available by phone or email, communication was a total breeze. Rebecca is not only incredibly talented, but a wonderful human being, and we loved working with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to all future brides!

"Rebecca was a dream!"

- Casey + Kofi

It was truly a pleasure working with Rebecca. She is so sweet and easy to work with, we felt so relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire process. Communication is timely, prices are reasonable. She listened to us and did such a perfect job capturing every moment on our special day. And most importantly - the pictures turned out ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! I can't recommend her enough.

"Love love love Rebecca!"
