Traditional Catholic November Wedding at The Barn at Silverstone in Lancaster, PA

The Velazquezes have ENTERED the CHAT!!!! Their wedding at The Barn at Silverstone in late fall was absolutely stunning. From the color of the leaves to Maggie’s pearl-studded veil to Nate’s cigar bar moment, every second of this day was filled with joy!

Maggie and Nate got married on a gorgeous fall day with giant smiles and a very healthy amount of happy tears all day long!!! I photographed their proposal & sunrise beach engagement session last summer, so it was extra sweet to document their union this fall 🫶🏼

Intentional Wedding Details and Beautiful Moments

Let’s talk about the details, shall we? The DRESS (!!!), the pearl veil, the rust suit, the florals that were somehow spring/summer/fall all in one, the engraved wedding bands, the heirloom rings, the cigar session, oh my!!! The intentionality woven throughout Maggie & Nate’s wedding at The Barn at Silverstone was so beautiful & a joy to photograph!!

They waited until the ceremony to see each other for the first time. When they finally saw each other, it was a special moment!!! I photographed Maggie’s eyes locked on Nate as she and her dad walked down the aisle. At the same time, my second photographer photographed Nate’s face as he watched his beautiful bride approach!! Tissues were passed back and forth throughout the ceremony. To make it more special, a Catholic priest that Maggie’s family has known for years officiated the ceremony. And to cap it all off, the newlyweds absolutely CRUSHED their dip kiss recessing back up the aisle!! 🥰

Wedding Experience = Maximized

We zoomed through family photos after the ceremony and did super fun wedding party photos in record speed! That left us with ample time for golden hour couples portraits (since they opted not to have a first look)!! These two stunners and their gorgeous fits in the most golden sunlight you’ve ever seen? I nearly lost my marbles from the beauty!!!!

The barn reception was so much fun!!! It included emotional speeches, a first AND last dance for the couple, a cigar session outside, a group shoey (iykyk 🥴🤣), lots of dancing and a grand exit of whooping and hollering as Nate & Maggie got in their getaway car!!! Major congrats to these two as they begin married life together!! (And check out their incredible vendors at the bottom of this blog post!)

“Hiring Gabriella as our photographer was the single best decision we made on wedding day. Because we had an intimate elopement at town hall, it was important to us to capture the small details and intimate moments in a way that we could look back on our day and feel like we are reliving it. Well, Gabriella’s work does just that. She exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier with our gallery. She gave updates and clear expectations along the way so that we were never left wondering what next steps were, and was timely with getting sneak peaks and the full gallery back to us. We are an introverted couple who is not used to being in front of the camera, and Gabriella was super patient and made us feel at ease throughout the whole day. Her communication style is to be seriously commended. She also went above and beyond to scope out of the venue and found the perfect spot for us to do our private vows in. We don’t have a single negative thing to say about our experience. If you are considering working with Gabriella for your special day, do it!!

We LOVED working with Gabriella for our Wedding photography! From our first video call, she made us feel totally at ease about the whole process, and it was clear she had a ton of experience. We do not consider ourselves very photogenic, but Gabriella got AMAZING pictures from our Wedding and an Engagement shoot. She’s fun, friendly, professional, and everything you need in a Wedding photographer (or for any other event). Cannot recommend her highly enough!

“Gabriella is the BEST photographer and we could not have asked for anyone better to capture our proposal! I had intentions of interviewing multiple photographers, but after seeing her work and talking to her over the phone, I immediately booked with her. Her passion for photography is so evident. She goes above and beyond to make your shoot about YOU. She does a great job of taking control and guiding you with poses that you will love, and her candid shots are unbelievable. She had a smile on her face the entire time and we felt like a close friend was there doing this for us. Would recommend her 100 times out of 100!

Gabriella was absolutely amazing. She made the photography session so easy and effortless. Her personality is so warm and inviting, she made us feel so so comfortable during these pictures. Gabriella went above and beyond for us and I’m so grateful my significant other found her as a photographer. I would highly recommend!”
