Jen + Jim: Married | Hershey, PA Wedding Photographer

When I first spoke with Jen on the phone about her upcoming wedding she told me the big day would be taking place at The Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA and that their reception would be a murder mystery dinner. Um, yes and yes.  I was beyond thrilled when she decided to book us for this amazing wedding right on the spot.

After shooting Jen and Jim's engagement session at The Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey, I quickly learned that these two love to have fun together.  Their personalities are both so playful in nature and it's obvious they just enjoy being around one another.  I also learned how photogenic and amazing they are to photograph.

So it was no surprise that their wedding day was just as perfect.

I truly enjoy when a couple is able to be themselves on the big day and allow us to document it as we see it.  This is what makes a wedding truly unique, especially in a time when Pinterest inspiration is becoming so overused.  It was such an honor to photograph at The Hotel Hershey and be able to share in their love.

Congratulations, Jen and Jim, we were so blessed to be able to be a part of your beautiful day and we wish you all the best in the years to come!

 Jen took apart a bunch of her pearl jewelry and created this stunning necklace.  

Love this image Kaila captured.

Jen was the most beautiful bride.  And since I LOVE shooting bridal portraits I took full advantage.

Love this moment Aaron captured between Dad and daughter.

 Off to the first look...

Love everything about this shot. The way she looks, the way he's looking at her.  Everything.

I love how timeless this image is.

Jen was a two dress bride.  Lucky girl!  She changed into a more formal gown for the ceremony and cocktail hour.

 Jen made all the decor for the ceremony.  It definitely had a 'secret garden' feel to it.

Kaila's view.

 She wore this unique face veil for the ceremony.  So beautiful.

 Kaila braved some pretty big spiders to get this shot and a lot more amazing ones just like it.  It was worth it :)

The cocktail hour took place on the hotel's amazing veranda.
