Promise Ridge in Pocono Mountains

The ceremony at Promise Ridge was something else entirely. Mitch stood at the overlook, didn't know she was coming, and when Olivia tapped his shoulder and he turned around — jaw dropped, completely star-struck, couldn't take his eyes off her. Celebrant Alisa Tongg told their story like she'd known them for years, because in a way she does, and their personal vows had all twenty people in tears. The reception caught golden hour perfectly, the sun landing on the florals just right, and the speeches from Olivia's sister and Mitch's parents brought them both to tears all over again. The night ended with sparklers and then everyone back at the Airbnb, together, exactly where they wanted to be. We will never forget this one. 

Olivia and Mitch didn't want a big wedding. They wanted their people — all twenty of them — together in the Pocono Mountains for an entire weekend. Promise Ridge, stunning green forest, a welcome party where both families mixed like they'd known each other forever. You could feel immediately that this wasn't just two people getting married — it was two families becoming one. Mitch read his private letter to Olivia that morning and cried. They both did. And that set the tone for everything that followed.
