Kristina & Patrick planned their wedding from afar. Very afar. While they live in Costa Rica, they were married in the mountainy woods outside of Gettysburg, Pa. Because Kristina is an event coordinator for a resort in the Caribbean, she brought a real eye to her wedding. There were so many fun elements for me to photograph, from the hand-painted wooden signs that directed guests and lanterns lining the path to the woods to an antique car that held cold lemonade at the ceremony site and the Converse sneakers that the groom, his attendants and even the officiant wore. Despite forecasted thunderstorms, we were graced with gorgeous light streaming through the woods for their nuptials and a gorgeous golden field nearby for some fun portraits after the ceremony. Congratulations, Kristina and Patrick. It was a joy to work with you both!
