Emily and Alan’s Wedding at Pine Community Center

There once was a boy and girl who shared a love for all things Harry Potter…then they fell in love and when their wedding day came, it was natural that they incorporated tons of Harry Potter details into their wedding. I wish I could share them all, but here are a few select favorites. To start, Emily’s bouquet was made of book pages by her mom.

She even had Hogwarts shoes. A close-up of these beauties to follow. But just look at that dress!

With Etsy, if you can’t make it, you can find someone who can!

This is the first I met Alan. And after warming up with a few photos, this one was the first hint that he would be a fun groom to photograph!

So lovely as her sister helps with the veil.

A bride and a beautiful view equals one breath-taking shot!

Emily and Alan had hoped to marry outside by the beautiful gazebo below Pine Community Center. Unfortunatley, the ground was soggy from the previous day’s rain, so they moved the ceremony inside and didn’t skip a beat.

And it was good that they did move the ceremony inside because moments after they said, “I do” the rainy skies opened up and poured. We were supposed to go to Cranberry Woods for photos with the bridal party after the ceremony and after talking it over, Emily and Alan decided to tough it out with the umbrellas I brought just in case. I’m so glad we did. After a 10-minute drive through a downpour, the rain lightened up and the scenery was stunning. I just love this shot of Emily walking over the bridge.

The trees made a nice canopy of beautiful light and kept us dry!

This image pretty much sums up what it’s like to be around Emily and Alan—delightful!

Here’s the wedding cake complete with a golden snitch.
