Philadelphia Cairnwood Estate Wedding | Sarah & Andrei

Sarah and Andrei are married! When we tell you this wedding was amazing, we mean it. From some of the best and sweetest toasts we’ve ever heard to an awesome Romanian dance party, Sarah and Andrei’s Cairnwood Estate wedding was simply awesome. We can’t wait to share some of our favorite pictures below!

Getting Ready…

The day started at the awesome Homewood Suites Hotel, just a quick 15 minutes from the main venue and estate: the gorgeous and  historic Bryn Athyn Cathedral and Cairnwood Estate. This is where the getting ready happened! Sarah’s bridesmaids donned her with the final details of her bridal look and then it was nearly time for the ceremony. After Sarah’s sweet mom helped her into her gown, Sarah opened a letter and gift from her soon to be husband, then shared several first looks with her favorite people; one with her dad,  another with her little brother, and even a first look with the groom’s Parents. We took a few portraits of Sarah and her beautiful bridesmaids at the Cairnwood Estate as well as photos of Andrei with his groomsmen, then it was ceremony time!

Ceremony Time…

The ceremony was held in the incomparable and beautiful Bryn Athyn Cathedral. If you haven’t seen this historic structure or property before, you are missing out. Located just outside of Philadelphia, this cathedral was the perfect destination for Sarah and Andrei’s fairytale wedding. See photos below to see what we mean!

As for the ceremony itself, Scripture was read by Sarah’s little brother and there was a sweet candle lighting ceremony between the couple and their mothers. Andrei’s little brother was the ring bearer and as always, charmed everyone as he made his way down the aisle arm in arm with him. Sarah’s dad began to walk her down the aisle and guests and family rose to their feet as Sarah made her way down the aisle. The two kissed (quite an epic one if we do say do ourselves), and were officially husband and wife!

Cocktail Hour & Portraits…

After the marriage certificate was signed and friends and family greeted the newlyweds with a bubble exit at the church, guests headed to cocktail hour at the Cairnwood Estate up the hill while we took portraits of the entire wedding party and of Sarah and Andrei.

The whole property was filled with gorgeous locations, so we made sure to capture as much has we could – We chose some of our favorites photos below to share! Simply breathtaking!

The Party…

Sarah and Andrei soon made their way to the reception. The wedding party and newly weds made their grand entrance down a very grand staircase, several awesome toasts were given, and then dinner was served. After dinner, there was of course cake cutting and first dances. Then the dance party began! The night ended with a fun glow stick send off.

This wedding truly felt like two families becoming one big happy family through the marriage of two awesome people. It was clear from the get go that Sarah and Andrei are meant to be, and we are so thankful that we had the privilege of capturing their beautiful Cairnwood Estate wedding. To our awesome couple, we wish you both love and health and happiness for the rest of your days. Hope to see you guys soon!

Cheers,

– Dustin & Corynn
