There’s something really special about photographing a wedding at a venue that holds personal meaning, and for me, Paxon Hollow Country Club will always be one of those places. It’s where I got married, and every time I return, it brings back all the memories. So getting to capture Steph and Nick’s day there was an honor and a full-circle moment.

The day started with Steph surrounded by her sisters: lots of laughter, a few happy tears, and such a genuine sense of joy. Nick got ready nearby with his closest friends, keeping things relaxed and full of laughs. They said their vows at the beautiful St. Bernadette Church in Drexel Hill, and even though the summer heat was no joke, they were total champs. We explored the grounds at Paxon afterward, and despite the temps, Steph and Nick made time for some stunning portraits.

Once inside the ballroom at Paxon, the celebration really kicked off. That space always feels grand but still intimate, and it was the perfect backdrop for a night full of dancing, laughter, and nonstop energy.

Steph and Nick, thank you for trusting me to document such a meaningful day. Your love for each other (and your people!) was felt in every moment.
