Kristin & Jon- Penn Oaks Golf Club Wedding

Kristin & Jon’s Penn Oaks Golf Club wedding was incredibly lovely and lots of fun.

Kristin first contacted me after finding me online, and we soon came to realize that actually she works with my husband. I did their engagement session at Longwood Gardens, a special place for them as it is where Jon proposed. They were a pleasure to work with and I was really looking forward to their wedding.

Fast forward to their wedding day, which may just have been the hottest day of the whole summer. I met Kristin and her bridesmaids at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in nearby Glen Mills, where they were getting ready, wearing really cute matching robes and enjoying their last few moments together before the wedding. They all dressed and looked stunning, with hair and makeup by Betty Ann Bugden and Michelle LaBlanc. The flower girls and ring bearer were also there and clearly excited to be behind the scenes with Kristin. Gorgeous florals provided by Flowers by the Greenery provided lovely accents to all of the photos. We stopped in to see the guys in their hotel suite as well before heading to Penn Oaks. It was clear to see that the pre-wedding jitters had set in.

We moved on to Penn Oaks Golf Club, where Kristin and Jon had separate quarters for finishing preparations and relaxing. They had decided to do a First Look shoot, so I brought Jon to the spot where he would first see Kristin to set everything up. He was definitely anxious to see his bride, and when she approached it was a moment of true emotion for them both.

After that, the bridal parties joined for photos all together. Due to the heat, we moved fairly quickly, and everyone was laid back and easy to work with. A Penn Oaks Golf Club wedding staff member offered to transport us around on a golf cart, which provided a refreshing break. There is a gorgeous grove of wildflowers along the golf course that provided a picturesque backdrop for photos. Once we got some great shots, everyone retreated indoors to cool off for a final moment before the ceremony began.

The timing of the ceremony was perfect, as the sun fell just enough to provide shade for the guests as they found their seats. Videographer Lexoria Wedding Films was there to capture it all. Kristin and Jon had written their own vows to each other, which were incredibly sweet and brought their family and friends to tears.

The Penn Oaks Golf Club wedding reception space was decked out in a fresh and pretty combination of navy and hot pink, and was a large and welcoming space. Toast after toast had the room in stitches, and Kristin’s sisters topped it off by singing a hilarious version of Wild Thing to the bride and groom. The wedding cake by The Master’s Baker was served alongside a decadent chocolate fondue fountain and delicious accompaniments. Everyone had a blast dancing into the night to music played by Scott Goldoor of Signature DJs.

Kristin and Jon’s wedding was all about friends and family. It was great to get to know everyone through the day. It is clear to see that they have an extremely loving support system. Thank you, Kristin and Jon, for allowing me to capture your memories. I wish you all the best!
