Lancaster Wedding Photographer | Lancaster Marriott | Emily & Steve

When you arrive to the bride’s getting ready suite and see that she’s wearing pink knee high socks with “Yes” all over them, it is safe to say that it is going to be an amazingly fun day! And it was! Emily and Steve are two of the funnest people we’ve had the pleasure to photograph. From the first time we met them it was apparent that they are upbeat, positive people. We hope you enjoy a selection of our favorite moments from their wedding day!
