Wedding at the Toll House / Downington, PA / Elizabeth & Gary

Wedding Photography

Liz & Gary were one of the many couples whose wedding plans had to change due to COVID-19. Typically our clients have been deciding to have a very small wedding or just reschedule everything entirely. However, Liz & Gary got the best of both worlds and decided to have the small wedding on their original date planned AND also have their original big wedding next year. I remember Liz mentioning to me that this worked out perfectly because Gary always wanted a small, simple wedding, and she wanted the big "go all out" wedding; so now they both got the wedding they dreamed of ;) And phew, let me tell you - their wedding day was exquisite!


They got married at the Toll House in Downingtown, PA which is owned by Liz's step mom; Kathy. Dear Kathy went all out on decorating and preparing for their micro wedding, and I truly felt like I was at a real wedding venue that had a bridal suite and everything! It was amazing and we had so much fun taking photos of all the details. I loved seeing the support Liz & Gary had from their families and we just loved being around these people and are so excited that we get to do it all again next year!!


Liz & Gary always have us laughing. When we are hanging out with them it doesn't even feel like we are working, because they are just that much fun to be around. And I don't think I've ever had this many goofy photos to hand over to a client before...you'll see some of their personality shine through the gallery, (such as Gary posing with the flowers, Liz' contagious laugh, kissing through masks, chicken dances...) I mean...these guys are just amazing. Scroll through and see for yourself.
