Michele & Dylan’s beautiful summer wedding day at Hope Glen Farm was something truly special! The day began with bridal preparations in the bridal room at the farm. While I took detail photos of accessories, Lady Vamp Artistry did an amazing job on hair and makeup! When hair and makeup was complete, Michele stepped into her stunning dress from The Wedding Shoppe with the help of her mom! It was a classy, timeless, floor-length wedding dress! So beautiful! Dylan’s dad helped him tie his tie and put his jacket from Heimie’s Haberdashery on over in the groom’s quarters. You can see the special bond these two have!

After getting Dylan’s rose boutonniere made by Sweet Peas Floral pinned on, he was ready to see his bride! Love the areas around Hope Glen! Beautiful spaces on both sun and cloudy days! The couple shared their first look down by the white picket fence and you can see the love on their faces! After their first look, Dylan wanted to show Michele her wedding ring (which he had kept a secret!)! She just loved this heirloom ring! Then we took couple’s photos and individual portraits. And just before wedding party photos, we added their adorable 9 month old son in for some family photos! What a cute little family! We did wedding party photos and then family photos. And while we got the couple hidden away before the ceremony, guests started arriving!

The outdoor ceremony space at Hope Glen feels like an outdoor chapel! Complete with gorgeous doors and benches! And check out the new, perfect pathway that the venue just added this year! So cool! Pastor Tommy Oestreich from River of Hope Ministries officiated the wedding and brought their little guy up for a blessing at the end! They were pronounced husband and wife and walked down the aisle so joyfully! Then it was time for guests to mingle and enjoy a social hour! I just have to mention – the wedding coordinator, Eryka, here at Hope Glen is so fabulous to work with! She is always one step ahead and makes the day run so smoothly!

Guests were seated for dinner and Greg from Neckwerk did a great job as the DJ for the evening! Everyone enjoyed the dinner buffet provided by This Little Piggy Catering and dessert by Nothing Bundt Cakes! After dinner, the best man and maid of honor gave speeches that touched the couple! Such a sweet group of family and friends that surround these two! Before their dance we went out and did a few sunset photos in the amazing vineyard Hope Glen has! This sunset was perfect! Then Michele & Dylan shared their first dance outside on the patio under the cafe lights! Michele also danced with her dad and Dylan danced with his mom! Then guests danced the night away! Enjoy some photos from this amazing day!
