Lauren & Jordyn The Carriage House at Olde Homestead WEDDING, Lehigh Valley Wedding Photographer
We photograph weddings the way you’ll want to remember them—honest, elegant, and full of heart.
Lauren and Jordyn—congratulations! Ten years together is no small thing, and it deserves to be celebrated with intention, style, and the kind of joy that feels effortless- and now your story continues!
When Lauren and Jordyn said “I do” on June 21, 2024, at St. Joseph the Worker Church followed by a reception at The Carriage House at Olde Homestead, it wasn’t simply a wedding day—it was the next chapter of a love story already rich with history. If you’re planning an olde homestead wedding and want a lehigh valley wedding photographer who will keep things calm, natural, and deeply personal, this is exactly the kind of day we love to document.
a love story, thoughtfully lived
Lauren and Jordyn met through Jordyn’s sister—a simple connection that turned into a decade of choosing each other, again and again.
Ten years together is its own kind of romance. It’s Tuesday-night dinners, big life decisions, and the steady work of building something lasting. And when Jordyn planned that picnic proposal at their favorite garden, it felt perfectly them—sweet, personal, and quietly confident.
That kind of history changes the way a wedding day looks and feels. You see it in the ease of their portraits, the warmth in the room, the way family leans in close—because everyone knows this love has been well cared for.
classic style, genuinely fun
The Carriage House at Olde Homestead set the tone immediately—polished yet welcoming, refined yet never fussy. It’s one of those venues that lets you host beautifully while still feeling like yourself.
Their dusty blue palette was a masterclass in timeless color—soft, romantic, and effortless on camera. Yet the day never took itself too seriously, and that’s what made it shine.
Cocktail hour was the perfect example. Guests stepped over to the driving range to hit golf balls, and the whole energy shifted in the best way—laughing, cheering, swapping tips, loosening ties, kicking off heels. It was playful, unexpected, and completely memorable.
And we have to mention the luggage tag seating chart—an elevated, travel-inspired detail that felt personal, organized, and charming all at once. It’s the kind of thoughtful styling guests notice, then talk about all night.
honoring generations
One of the most meaningful aspects of Lauren and Jordyn’s day was their commitment to capturing family generational photos.
We love when couples prioritize this. There’s something deeply moving about gathering grandparents, parents, and the newlyweds together in one frame, a visual representation of love passed down, of values inherited, of stories that will be told and retold. These images become heirlooms. They’re the photos your grandchildren will study, tracing family resemblances and asking about the people who came before them.
Lauren and Jordyn made time for these portraits despite a full timeline, recognizing that not every family member will be at every milestone. That kind of intentionality matters. It speaks to couples who understand that a wedding day isn’t just about the two of you, it’s about honoring the people who shaped you and welcoming the family you’re becoming.
a ceremony filled with joy
St. Joseph the Worker Church provided a beautiful setting for Lauren and Jordyn to exchange vows before God, family, and friends.
There’s something sacred about a church ceremony, the weight of tradition, the acoustics when everyone laughs at the right moment, the way light filters through stained glass. When Jordyn lifted Lauren’s veil and they shared their first kiss as husband and wife, you could feel the collective joy of everyone gathered. The bridesmaids beamed. The groomsmen clapped. Family members wiped away happy tears.
These are the moments we live for as photographers. The unrehearsed, genuine reactions that show what this commitment truly means to the people who love you most.
the birds of a feather perspective
We believe your wedding deserves to be documented with care—calmly, artfully, and with a deep respect for the people who raised you, shaped you, and love you.

We’re a family-led team, and we show up with steady guidance, an unobtrusive presence, and a story-driven approach that keeps your experience comfortable and your images timeless.
Lauren and Jordyn’s olde homestead wedding is exactly why we love what we do. It held tradition and personality in equal measure—church vows that felt reverent and grounding, portraits that felt classic, and a reception that made guests feel instantly at home (yes, even at the driving range).
When you look back years from now, you won’t just remember how everything looked. You’ll remember how it felt. And it’s our privilege to preserve that as art—and as legacy.
