Madeline & Dillon | West Chester, PA
I first "met" Madeline when she posted in a local Facebook group that she was looking for a photographer for her event. She mentioned that she was having a small wedding, and I'm like "dude, yes! This is my jam!". We connected and here we are!
Madeline & Dillon met online (I feel you!) and had their first date at the Gryphon, in West Chester. This is eventually the place where Dillon proposed later on, so it was clear that it was also a place we needed to stop by for their portraits!
Their special day took place in West Chester, where it was important to them to be. We started at Providence Church, where we had a beautiful first look together, surrounded by their oversized windows. We then headed downtown West Chester, where we walked around for various portraits. This day just so happened to be a day when West Chester had a festival, but I think we made the absolute best of it! Following portraits, we went back to Providence for their ceremony, family portraits, and a short coverage of their sweet reception!

Have you ever found a spot in town that feels like…
