A Stroudsmoor Country Inn Wedding: The Nicolais Celebration

A destination wedding in Pennsylvania surrounded by stone architecture, deep woods, purple florals, and an intimate garden ceremony.

The Nicolais wedding brought our team to Pennsylvania for a celebration at Stroudsmoor Country Inn. Stone buildings, wooded paths, and a garden ceremony created a setting that felt secluded and cinematic.

Purple florals and rich greenery carried through the wedding party, ceremony, cake, and reception details.

A Wooded Destination Wedding

The bride's gown and the stone architecture established the story before the couple moved into the woods for portraits in filtered afternoon light.

A Garden Ceremony

Guests gathered outdoors among stonework and greenery. The surrounding forest gave the ceremony a private, destination feel.

Portraits After the Vows
