It worked out so well due to the fact that the professional wedding planner also worked with the venue coordinator. Their roles are quite different.

They were going for something classic with a modern feel. Pocono Palms located in Cresco, Pennsylvania was screaming their name. This old church with classy architecture had been recently renovated, bringing in that old school, elegant but modern feel to the occasion. The way it was decorated added more spice. The beautiful arrangements created by Allium Floral Design were loaded with warm, blush colored wedding flowers and designed with the classy, modern vibe in mind. The way the room was set up was incredible and all the details were gorgeous and thought out exceptionally. You could even notice the excellent preparation with the timeline of the day. They communicated ideas with me and asked for my feedback, coordinated shooting at all the right times and made sure I got exactly what I needed. It literally was the perfect setting to capture my best work while feeling laidback. We had sufficient time for the bride and groom first look pictures, family wedding photos, and more time to document the wedding decor and details. The pictures below radiate that vibe.
