Rustic-Chic Normandy Farms Wedding

Photographed by Ben + Ashley

Weddings at Normandy Farmsalways prove to be a fun time. And working with couples that have super big hearts makes documenting it all the more joyous. After meeting Ashlee + Justin at the Philadelphia Bridal Expo in 2019.,we knew this was gonna be a good time.

Ashlee and Justin had a relaxed morning getting ready for the day, accompanied by their bridal party and parents. A great feature of Normandy Farms is that there are ample hotel rooms and suites, great for day-of preparations. Ashlee and her ladies looked so festive in their matching flannels. Over in the guy’s suite, Justin and his guys were all jokes as his crew helped him get dressed head to toe.

The day was brisk but manageable so we opted for a first look with using some of guest houses as their backdrop. And well, Justin’s reaction says it all.

The great thing about a place like Normandy Farms is you don’t have to walk very far to get a lot of different looks for portraits - both inside and out. Stone houses, silos and sitting rooms made for adorable images before the ceremony.

Normandy Farms has two options for ceremony space, depending on the wedding size. On this particular day, we were in the Silos ballroom. We loved hearing Justin and Ashlee speak from the heart for their beautiful vows, photographing Justin’s niece steal the show, and the laughter during their hast-fastening ritual.

Maddie and Tom made their big entrance, as the DJ played “Prayed for you” by Matt Stell for their first dance. After Maddie and Tom completed their parent dances, friends and family stood up to toast the newlyweds.

When the lights went down and the dance floor opened, the love continued into the night as they danced, cried and laugh with all the important people in their lives. Congrats Ashlee and Justin! Thank you for having us capture your Normandy Farms wedding.
