Katrina & Carl | A Sandy Creek Fire Hall Wedding | Franklin, PA

Weddings
Written By Kathryn Hyslop

Katrina and Carl planned a gorgeous, DIY wedding at the Sandy Creek Fire Hall up in Franklin, PA. You can just tell with one look that these two are so in love.  Their family and friends came together to help make their day special, with handmade arbors, centerpieces, and of course, cookies!  Their ceremony was outdoors, and the weather was perfect.  Afterwards, everyone partied the night away.

Congratulations!

First Look or No First Look?

First looks are one of those wedding decisions the internet has somehow turned into a VERY BIG DEAL.

It depends.

I'm not going to tell every couple they need a first look because it's "better for photos."

Your wedding isn't a photoshoot, remember?

But after photographing weddings for years, there are definitely situations where I think a first look makes the day significantly easier.
