{Kimmy & Henry}

Kimmy and Henry were married on July 17, 2026, at the gorgeous Wind in the Willows in Grantville, PA, and their disco garden party wedding was SO much fun!

With colorful flowers, disco balls, and so many fun details, they absolutely brought their vision to life. Kimmy chose bright shades of pink and orange for her bridesmaids, while Henry and his groomsmen wore classic navy suits. The combination was colorful, fun, and perfect for their summer celebration.

Kimmy and Henry met while attending Liberty University, and I love their story even more knowing what this past year looked like for them. They were both working as international teachers in different countries while somehow also planning the wedding of their dreams! I’d say they definitely pulled it off.

The couple chose to do a first look so we could capture their portraits before the ceremony, and it was such a sweet moment. They also took that time to read their personal vows to each other, which made it even more meaningful.

There was a bit of haze in the sky that day from the wildfires in Canada, but honestly, I think it gave the pond on the property such a soft and romantic look.

Their ceremony was held in the beautiful chapel on the property. The historic church and stained-glass windows made for such a gorgeous setting. One especially meaningful moment was when one of the groomsmen passed their wedding rings around during the ceremony so their family and friends could pray over them. It was such a sweet touch, and throughout the entire day, you could truly feel Kimmy and Henry’s love for Jesus and the importance of their faith.

Then it was time to party! The evening started with a sweet first dance, followed by a choreographed dance to a Taylor Swift song that was SO fun to watch. There were heartfelt toasts, dinner, dancing, cake, doughnuts, and plenty of celebrating with the people they love most.

Kimmy and Henry, thank you for allowing me to capture your incredible wedding day. I loved being a part of your celebration and wish you both a lifetime of love, happiness, and plenty of fun along the way!

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