Gina & Ben WEDDING at Radnor Valley Country Club | Lehigh Valley Wedding Photographer
we believe your wedding day deserves a backdrop that feels like art—solid, rooted, enduring.
Some love stories begin with a swipe, a click, a leap of faith into the digital unknown.
Gina and Ben's story started that way, two people finding each other online, discovering they loved the same things: lazy beach days in Ocean City, New Jersey, the smell of salt air and boardwalk fries, and the quiet joy of reading the same book side by side. The kind of connection that feels both accidental and absolutely meant to be.
When Ben decided to propose, he knew exactly where it needed to happen. Corsons Inlet in Ocean City, their place, where they'd walked countless times together. He knelt down with a family heirloom ring, a piece of history now woven into their own story, and asked Gina to be his wife. She said yes, right there by the water, with the wind in their hair and the ocean as their witness.
On June 21, 2024, they brought all of that love, the books, the beach memories, the family ties, to Radnor Valley Country Club for a wedding day that was every bit as personal and heartfelt as their journey together.
a day wrapped in sage, sand, and stone
Radnor Valley Country Club provided the perfect backdrop for Gina and Ben's celebration. Nestled in the rolling hills outside Philadelphia, this Pennsylvania wedding venue balances classic country club elegance with a cozy, welcoming energy—polished yet never cold.
Gina and Ben chose a sage green and beige color palette that felt quiet, intentional, and so easy to live inside. Soft greenery, creamy neutrals, and those warm, grounded tones played beautifully against the venue’s stonework—especially the waterfall backdrop that became the most stunning setting for their portraits. The kind of scene that feels timeless in the moment, then somehow even more cinematic years later.
But it was the personal touches that really made this radnor valley country club wedding unforgettable—a truly personal wedding day from start to finish.
The details told their story before a single vow was spoken. Pearl-embellished shoes for Gina. Matching "his" and "her" vow booklets. A wood inlay wedding band for Ben that felt rugged and refined all at once. And tucked among the florals and rings, a keepsake handkerchief, a pocket watch, small treasures that connected past and present.
when the ceremony becomes the story
There's something sacred about watching two people promise forever.
Gina walked down the aisle on her father's arm, both of them beaming, her off-the-shoulder gown flowing behind her, her bouquet of white and pale blue blooms held close. The ceremony space at Radnor Valley Country Club glowed with soft lighting, a wrought-iron chandelier overhead casting gentle shadows that made everything feel like a dream.
Ben waited at the altar with his groomsmen lined up behind him, his smile growing wider with every step Gina took toward him. The moment they locked eyes, you could feel the room shift, everyone present, everyone holding their breath, everyone witnessing something real and lasting.
They exchanged rings, made promises, and sealed it all with a kiss that felt like the beginning of everything.
stone waterfall portraits + a cozy, elegant reception
This is the part of the day that still feels like it belongs in a film—yet it was completely, unmistakably them.
Being surrounded by all that natural stone and rushing water, Gina and Ben stepped into portraits that felt both dramatic and effortless. The waterfall at Radnor Valley Country Club gave us instant texture, movement, and that grounded, old-world feeling—while their sage and beige palette kept everything soft and romantic in the frame. A kiss tucked into the mist. Hands finding hands. That quiet little “we did it” look couples share when the day finally starts to breathe.
From there, the energy shifted in the best way—into a reception that felt cozy, elegant, and warmly lived-in. Think candlelight glow, a fireplace setting that practically begged everyone to linger, and a space that held both the classic moments and the in-between ones with equal reverence. Their movie-themed cake and the cowboy-boot fun still made appearances—yet the overall feeling was intimate, inviting, and timeless, the kind of celebration you can picture guests talking about a decade from now.
the lehigh valley wedding photographer perspective
As a lehigh valley wedding photographer, we've had the privilege of documenting countless celebrations at venues throughout Pennsylvania. But there's something special about working with couples who infuse every moment with meaning, who choose details that tell their story rather than follow trends.
Gina and Ben did exactly that.
From the family heirloom engagement ring to the Ocean City proposal, from the book-loving connection to the movie-themed cake and cowboy boots, every element of their Radnor Valley Country Club wedding reflected who they are as individuals and as a couple. Our job wasn't to create something artificial or posed. It was to witness, to preserve, to honor what was already there.
We captured candid moments, laughter during toasts, playful dances with guests, quiet glances between the newlyweds when they thought no one was watching. We photographed the big moments and the in-between ones, the tears and the belly laughs, the formal portraits by the lake and the chaotic joy of the bouquet toss.
This is what drives us as Pennsylvania wedding photographers, the opportunity to document real love, real celebration, real families coming together to honor a commitment that will outlast the flowers and the cake and even the photographs themselves.
