Fall Weddings at Oak Lodge in Stahlstown, PA

Attention: In this blog post you will see a gorgeous bride, dramatic skies and a Dirty Dancing reenactment…..trust me they had the time of their lives! tee he he (see what I did there?! haha)

Remnants of Hurricane Harvey was threatening the entire day. You could see the clouds looming overhead (see one of the images below) and I’m happy to say that it never did rain until the last several hours of the evening and I was able to capture the most gorgeous rain shot right before we left. The good news is, if you choose to have your wedding at Oak Lodge in the Laurel Highlands of PA there are plenty of amazing “rain plans”. They have the most gorgeous buildings, overhangs, the lodge is fantastic and cozy and it’s just all around romance no matter what the weather….but on rainy days, it’s just a little more…romantic!!! <3

I met up with Allison, her mom and sister in the bridal suite also known as the “Eagle’s Nest” a quaint room on the property where all the bride prep takes place.
