Outdoor summer wedding at Strathmere: Jen & Phil |

I’ve been excited to photograph this wedding ever since their engagement session (which feels like a million years ago). Let me tell ya…these two tried, and tried, and tried again to make this wedding happen but Covid had other plans. Until finally they said screw it, we’re doing it.

Jen and Phil’s outdoor summer wedding at Strathmere Lodge was a perfect one. Covid or not, they made the best of it and pulled together the most beautiful ceremony. The bride and groom decided to do a first look upon arriving at Strathmere and then photos with their wedding party, before the rest of their guests arrived for the ceremony.

The Strathmere Lodge…I can’t wait to be back in this magical place.

Immediately following the ceremony, the bride and groom had a first dance to cap off this Covid wedding, before they made their way to a patio for their reception.
