Amanda & Ben’s Beautiful Wedding Day at St. Patrick’s Cathedral
On April 13, 2024, Amanda and Ben celebrated their wedding at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Harrisburg, PA. Having known Amanda since her high school senior photos, it was a joy to be a part of her wedding journey.
The day began with getting ready portraits at Farm 1840, where Wendy Hammaker ensured every detail was perfect. Despite the windy weather, we captured lovely indoor shots in the chapel before heading to the cathedral for the ceremony. Amanda’s bridesmaids wore stunning champagne-colored silk gowns, and the love from her friends and family was palpable.
Following the beautiful Catholic ceremony, we took some intimate portraits at the Capitol before returning to Farm 1840 for more bridal portraits. The evening continued with a delightful cocktail hour, followed by dinner and dancing in the barn. The heartfelt toasts brought tears to my eyes – so sweet and emotional.
Amanda and Ben, it was an honor to capture your special day. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and love!
Thanks to all the fabulous vendors who helped make this wedding so amazing!
