Kyle and Rachael are as joyous as true love can be! Their upbeat wedding was perfectly captured by their equally cheerful photographer, Leah Gallo, lead photographer of Gallo Imaging. The vivid visuals captured show the pure happiness that transpired at this lovely occasion, and all the amazing details that went into the planning process. Springton Manor Farm contributed to the organic motif, with its rustic scenic outdoor views, which made this wedding perfectly dressed with natural elements, and an amazing view of the sunset as the evening transpired. The floral arrangements created by Petals with Style completed the natural elegance theme of this day, with breathtaking lovely designs and colors, adding to the vibrancy of this wedding. Altogether this rosy fete shares the positive bliss of family and friends collectively celebrating the unity of two people madly in love!
How They Met:
“Kyle moved from Denver to Philadelphia for a new job. I was living in a house in Fairmount with a bunch of roommates, and we had a vacant room. Kyle needed some where to live, so he replied to our posting on Craigslist. He moved in and we immediately became friends. We began dating a few months later. We can thank Craigslist for our wedding!”
The Proposal:
“Kyle and I were renting a shore house in Avalon NJ for the summer. Kyle tried to propose on the bay at the sunset, but there were a ton of bugs. We rode our bikes to the beach and he proposed there.”
Wedding Planning Experience:
“We had a great experience. Our wedding planner, Amy Spacht, with J. Scott Catering, was amazing. She was extremely organized, consistent, and pleasant to work with. Leah Gallo our photographer was also very upbeat and organized.”
Wedding Inspiration:
“Kyle and I love being outside. I grew up in Bucks County and love the woods and farms there. We wanted to have an outdoor wedding in the summer, and were thrilled when we visited Springton Manor Farm in Chester County, PA.”
Best Memory:
“Our first dance, that overlooked rolling hills of trees and the barn/sheep at Springton Manor Farm while the sun was setting. We had a beautiful sunset at our wedding. My dad passed away when I was 19, so I think of that sunset as my dad being there with me at our wedding.”
Wedding Planning Advice:
“Your wedding is one of the only times where you will have all of your friends and family in the same place, so make sure to take time on your special day to take everything in.
Also, if your band or DJ does not ask you for a no play list, give them one anyway!”
Vendor Experience:
“Our vendors were great! I enjoyed shopping around and choosing the right people for us.
From the Photographer: “I first met Rachael and Kyle when I photographed their extended family over the holidays a few years ago. When they reached out for wedding photography, I was so excited to work with this wonderful family again.The whole day was filled with laughter, love and excitement. It was a pleasure to document this gorgeous rustic farm wedding!”
