When I think back to Sam and Dryden’s whimsical and woodsy backyard wedding in Northern Pennsylvania, I immediately think of sun-filtered trees, periwinkle blues, lush rolling hills, and deep emerald woods. Their nontraditional microwedding was anchored around the things that mattered most to them— their home, their loved ones, and their vision to curate a day that was laidback, enjoyable, and true to who they are as a couple— so they opted to host their nature-inspired wedding on Sam’s childhood property.

Is it just me, or is it every little girl’s dream to be married in autumn’s natural beauty with a gorgeous fall wedding color palette?

Meet Maggie and Hade, the sweetest couple who traveled all the way to Upstate NY for me to document their Adventurous Engagement Session at Watkins Glen State Park in the Finger Lakes Region.
