Williamsport Wedding Photographer / Rebecca and Ian's Wedding
 

Wow!  What a great outdoor Pennsylvania wedding Rebecca and Ian had.  This couple is lucky enough to have an absolutely awesome family cabin in the Pennsylvania Wilds.  It was totally secluded and just the perfect place for them and all their friends and family to celebrate. 

Rebecca and Ian have an adorable little boy and it was so cute to see him coming down the aisle in his little suit!  It's been about 6 months since the wedding, but I can still picture the day so vividly.  I enjoyed every minute of watching Rebecca and Ian become husband and wife.  One of my favorite parts of the day was riding around on a Gator to visit different areas of the property.  I really need to get myself about 200 acres of land and a little vehicle to explore it with.  Seriously so much fun!

Rebecca's choice of color palette for the wedding was delicate and feminine and perfect for a September wedding. 

We finished the night with a shot under the Milky Way you have to check out at the end of this post! 

Please enjoy a few of my favorites from the day.

WHAT NOT TO DO ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

 

So, you're in the wedding planning process and obviously want to have the best wedding ever.  What can you do to ensure that the day goes as smoothly as possible?  Here are my 3 best tips on what NOT to do  to help your day go as planned!

#1 Wear a Dress that Requires Tape or Pins to Stay in Place
This is a huge, huge mistake that you don't want to make.  Virtually every wedding dress I've seen that requires something to hold it in place ends up being very , VERY bothersome.  Pins pop and the garment tape never holds.  You might make it through the ceremony with everything intact, but as soon as you hit the dance floor or sweat, the dress starts falling out of place.  Then, you might spend the whole evening hiking up your dress.  It's not fun and it's not flattering.  I highly encourage brides to choose a dress that fits like a glove even before alterations. 

#2 Decorate the Reception Space the Day of the Wedding
Trying to do too much on the day of the wedding often results in a worn out bride that can't fully enjoy the day.  If at all possible, set up EVERYTHING before the wedding day, preferably by Thursday so you can just enjoy yourself on Friday and Saturday.  Some venues are better than others at letting you have access to the site the week of the wedding.  When booking a venue, definitely take that into consideration.  Also, don't be too proud to ask for help.  The skill of delegation is essential for a bride!

#3 Pay More Attention to Wedding Day Details than the Actual Marriage
If there is one single solitary piece of advice I have for brides, it is to fully immerse themselves in the ceremony.  Really make the actual process of becoming a married couple something to remember.  Writing your own vows, sharing love letters or incorporating unique touches to the ceremony itself are all great ways to really immerse yourself in the marriage experience.  While it's normal to want all the décor and the ambience to be perfect for your day, focus on what really matters...each other!
