Getting Ready at the Peterloon Estate

Emma spent the morning in Peterloon Estate’s refined bridal suite, surrounded by her bridesmaids and her mom, who helped her into her dress. The atmosphere was full of soft anticipation, laughter, and tender moments—everything you hope for on a wedding morning. The space itself, with its old-world charm and understated luxury, couldn’t have been a more fitting setting.

Meanwhile, Tim brought his love for the James Bond franchise to life. A longtime fan, he envisioned the day feeling like a scene straight out of a movie. Dressed in a crisp white dinner jacket and a red carnation boutonnière, he channeled 007 with timeless style and a playful edge. It was a detail we adored—intentional, iconic, and so perfectly him.

A Sweet First Look With Dad

Now, before seeing Tim, Emma shared a first look with her dad on the grand front steps of the estate. It was simple, heartfelt, and filled with emotion—a moment that felt both intimate and cinematic. We love including these quiet pauses in the day—they add a great deal of depth to a spring wedding like this one.

Emma & Tim’s First Look

Right after, Emma and Tim had their first look in the very same spot. The excitement and emotion between them were palpable, and capturing their reactions was one of our favorite moments of the entire day. There’s something about a first look that allows a couple to breathe, to connect, and to really be present with each other before the whirlwind begins.

A Stylish Bridal Party With Personality

Their bridal party brought energy and elegance in equal measure. Dressed to complement the venue’s classic setting, they were both poised and playful. The group portraits felt effortlessly cool, just like the couple, and captured the spirit of friendship and celebration that carried through the rest of the day.

Editorial Moments from This Spring Wedding at Peterloon Estate

After the first look, we spent time exploring the estate for portraits. Peterloon’s European-imported woodwork, historic architecture, and expansive lawns made every frame feel like a page out of a modern-day fairytale. Emma and Tim’s chemistry was undeniable—every glance, every laugh, and every quiet pause came through so naturally in front of the lens.

This is where our signature blend of editorial and documentary-style photography truly shines—stylistically beautiful yet grounded in authenticity.

Garden Ceremony in Full Spring Bloom

The ceremony was in the English garden. The timing was perfect. Spring flowers were in full bloom. Peonies, trees, and soft greenery filled the space. It felt peaceful and romantic.

The light was golden. The air was warm. Emma and Tim shared their vows. A few happy tears were shed. And just like that, they became husband and wife under the spring sunshine.

A Heartfelt Tribute During Cocktail Hour at This Elegant Spring Wedding at Peterloon Estate

After the ceremony, guests gathered on the lawn for cocktail hour, soaking in the golden spring light as Emma and Tim wrapped up their family portraits. Soon, the couple joined the celebration—smiling, relaxed, and fully present in the moment.

One especially meaningful moment stood out: Tim and his bridal party shared a beer in honor of his grandfather who passed away before the wedding. It was simple, sweet, and deeply personal. A little fun, a lot of heart—and the kind of quiet tribute that makes a wedding day truly unforgettable.

Dinner, Dancing and A Personal Serenade

The reception was full of special moments that felt both personal and unforgettable. There were sweet first dances, laughter-filled toasts, and heartfelt words from loved ones. One of the most touching surprises came when Emma’s uncle took out his guitar and performed a song he wrote just for the couple. It was emotional, unexpected, and had the entire room completely still, soaking in the love that surrounded them.

The energy throughout the night was joyful and easy, with guests truly enjoying every part of the celebration. From the thoughtful details to the open dance floor, the evening felt like a perfect reflection of Emma and Tim—elegant, warm, and full of heart.

Inside the estate, everything glowed. The rich wooden walls and intricate old-world details gave the space a timeless, cozy feeling. Candlelight flickered on the tables, casting a golden warmth across the room, while soft music and conversation filled the air. It was the kind of setting that invites you to slow down and savor every moment.
