Tricia and Brett were married at the Barn at Ligonier Valley on a lovely summer day in August.  They welcomed their family and friends at their reception in the same place.  The barn was beautifully decorated in pink and navy accents.  Tricia even made both her bouquet and the bridesmaids’ bouquets as well!  Talk about crafty!

Here some of my favorite photos from the day…

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood when Marissa and Bernie were married!  Their celebration was one for the Wedding Hall of Fame, complete with horse and carriage, a chamber orchestra with amazing singers at the ceremony, a big band at the reception, and a six-course meal for their family and friends!

We started the day with Marissa and Bernie as they got ready.  Bernie began his day with some bowling…
