Emily & Mike had an absolutely perfect day for their Linden Hall wedding in Dawson, PA.  Emily and her bridesmaids got ready in the mansion’s gorgeous bridal suite that had sunlight spilling into the room through the large windows.  It was truly a picture-perfect location for some dreamy bridal portraits!

Beautiful blue skies greeted us as we stepped outside for the I-Do’s.  Their sweet ceremony was topped off with a live violinist and a gorgeous dove release!  We took some time for portraits before heading into their beach-themed reception where Emily & Mike surprised their guests with a choreographed salsa dance they had been practicing, and they killed it!  The guests danced the night away to some great music provided by DJ Loyal Martinez as they celebrated the new Mr. & Mrs. Meili!
