Rainy Day Romance | Alexandra & Braeden’s Spring Wedding at Farm 1840 in Mechanicsburg, PA

April showers brought a whole lot of love for Alexandra and Braeden’s wedding day at the beautiful Farm 1840 in Mechanicsburg, PA! These two met while attending the Air Force Academy (cue the “awws”), and their story is just as sweet as their doughnut-filled reception.

Alexandra looked absolutely stunning in a lace wedding gown that was both classic and romantic. Her bridesmaids wore elegant floor-length dresses in dusty blue, a perfect choice for this spring wedding. Even though the morning started off rainy, we lucked out with just enough of a break to capture their portraits outside—proof that magic can happen even under cloudy skies!

One of the sweetest parts of the day? Alexandra chose to do a first look with both her dad and her groom, and it was such a heart-melting moment. The ceremony took place in the charming on-site chapel, which added a cozy and intimate feel to the celebration.

After saying “I do,” the couple celebrated with a night full of dinner, dancing, and delicious doughnuts (yes, please!). They wrapped up the evening with a joyful send-off that was the perfect ending to their perfect day.

It was such an honor to capture Alexandra and Braeden’s wedding day. Wishing this amazing couple all the love and happiness in the world as they start their next chapter together!

Thanks to all the fabulous vendors who helped make this wedding so amazing!
