Connor and Michelle’s wedding at Folino Estate was the kind of day that reminds us why we love photographing here so much. It was a bright, sunny summer celebration on Pennsylvania’s own Italian-inspired vineyard – complete with incredible views, warm light, and one of the biggest, most energetic crowds we’ve ever seen at this venue.
Instead of traditional getting-ready coverage, Connor and Michelle chose to keep things simple and focus their photography on the moments that mattered most to them: portraits before the ceremony, their beautiful outdoor vows, cocktail hour, and the nonstop dance party that followed. And when we say nonstop, we mean it—we were there until the very end, and the dance floor never slowed down.
Their guests brought such an amazing energy, and the couple added some unforgettable touches along the way. A Ben Franklin impersonator mingled during cocktail hour (yes, it was as incredible as it sounds – wait until you see the photos!), and later that night, everyone put on fake mustaches modeled after the groom’s. Seeing the entire dance floor rocking mustaches while partying together was one of the highlights of the day.
We’ve photographed at Folino Estate many times, but this day was something special – laid-back where it needed to be, full of life everywhere else, and just an all-around rad experience from start to finish.
