Leah & Nick had the most gorgeous Spring day for their wedding at the Gathering Place at Darlington Lake!
One of the best things about being a Pittsburgh wedding photographer (besides working with the sweetest couples!) is getting to see so many beautiful locations in the area. The Gathering Place at Darlington Lake is a beautiful, tucked away spot in New Galilee, PA. It sits on a lake, surrounded by woods and farmland. And it made the perfect setting for this gorgeous wedding day!
Leah & Nick’s day began with getting ready photos, each separately! The ladies got ready in the new bridal cabin on the Gathering Place’s property. It was my first time in the cabin (though I’ve photographed a few weddings here before!) and I absolutely loved this new space for the ladies! It is always so nice when the bride and groom get ready on the property where they’ll be getting married. Having no commute from the getting ready space to the ceremony space decreases stress for everyone involved!
After some pre-ceremony photos, Leah & Nick met at the altar. Nick’s siblings sang a beautiful song during the ceremony, and then Leah & Nick were married! After the ceremony, we took some family formals, bridal party portraits, and photos of Leah & Nick around the property. Those photos were beautiful.. but I was especially excited to get the two of them back out for photos after dinner! The sun had set a bit more and there was a lovely reflection on the lake that made for the most picturesque backdrop.
We also took these two out on the dock for a few night photos! And they ended their evening with a ribbon send off. It was truly the most beautiful day!
Congratulations on your wedding day, Leah & Nick! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your beautiful day!
