Kourtney & Camden | Farm 1840 Wedding | Mechanicsburg, PA

Kourtney and Camden tied the knot on April 26, 2025, at the beautiful Farm 1840 in Mechanicsburg, PA. This wedding was extra special for me — I had photographed Kourtney nearly 10 years ago for her senior portraits, and it was such a joy to reconnect and work with her (and her family) again. Camden had also brought me in to photograph their proposal about a year earlier, so getting to witness this full-circle moment was incredibly meaningful.

From the start, it was clear how important family is to both of them. The energy, love, and pride from their families lit up the whole day.

Kourtney chose light purple, floor-length gowns for her bridesmaids, and the whole crew got ready in matching sweatsuits — such a fun and practical touch. Both her mom and grandmother helped her into her dress, and they were absolutely beaming.

One of the sweetest parts of the morning was the series of first looks — first a bridesmaids’ reveal, then moments with her dad, brother, and grandfather. Told you family means everything to them!

Before the ceremony, the couple shared a “first touch” where they read personal vows to each other. It was private, emotional, and honestly had everyone tearing up.

The weather threw us a curveball with showers in the morning, but just in time for portraits, the sun came out — and the wildflower bouquets popped beautifully against the green spring backdrop. The on-site chapel made the perfect ceremony spot, and watching their niece and nephew (flower girl and ring bearer) being pulled down the aisle in a little wagon was adorable.

They even wore new Tecovas boots for the day, custom-embossed with their initials and wedding date — such a fun personal touch.

After heartfelt toasts, the dance floor filled fast and stayed packed. It was one of those nights you could feel — full of love, laughter, and people truly celebrating two people they care deeply about.

Kourtney and Camden, thank you again for trusting me with your day. What an honor to be part of your story.

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