Jackie & Stephen Latin Mass Wedding at St. Catherine of Sienna Cathedral, Allentown PA

Jackie and Stephen's wedding Sacrament and celebration radiated love and joy from beginning to end. Taking place on May 27, 2022, at the stunning St. Catherine of Sienna Cathedral in Allentown, PA, and followed by a reception at the picturesque Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Macungie, PA, their day was nothing short of magical.

One of the standout memories for me was the breathtaking beauty of the Church, During the Latin Mass ceremony, the sunlight streamed through the stained glass windows illuminating the space, highlighting the grandeur of the cathedral. Adorning the walls beside the altar were magnificent oil paintings, adding a rich and timeless quality to the atmosphere.

During the ceremony, Jackie used her own train-length veil as the nuptial veil for the care cloth blessing—a touching gesture that symbolized the unity of their hearts. It was a moment of profound significance, made even more beautiful as both sets of parents held the veil above Jackie and Stephen's heads, enveloping them in love and blessings.

Jackie was a vision of loveliness in her bridal attire, and Stephen looked every bit the dashing groom. Their chemistry was palpable, making our job as their photographers an absolute delight—it was like photographing models!

After the ceremony, we headed to Bear Creek Mountain Resort for the reception, where the natural beauty of the Pennsylvania mountains provided a stunning backdrop for perfect portraits. The lush greenery and blooming flowers added to the charm of the occasion.

Inside the reception venue, the ambiance was enchanting, with beautiful lighting and tasteful decorations setting the scene for an evening of celebration. But what truly touched my heart was the emotion displayed during Stephen's brother's best man speech—a heartfelt tribute that left not a dry eye in the house.

In addition to their devotion to each other, Jackie and Stephen's commitment to pro-life causes was evident in their decision to forgo traditional party favors and instead make donations—a gesture of kindness and compassion that spoke volumes about their character.

Dear Jackie and Stephen, witnessing your love story unfold was a privilege, and we are grateful to have been a part of your special day. May your journey together be filled with endless love, laughter, and blessings.
