Are you a bride-to-be considering an Aldie Mansion wedding? As highly rated Pennsylvania wedding photographers, we can assure you that you’re making an amazing choice!
Doylestown, Pennsylvania, is a charming borough located in the heart of Bucks County. It’s home to some beautiful historic sites, including Aldie Mansion, which is an early 20th-century estate that still holds much of its original charm and character.
This luxurious Tudor-style wedding venue is surrounded by picturesque gardens, 10 beautifully maintained acres of land, and features a 2,400 square foot window-lined ballroom that can accommodate up to 220 guests. It’s no wonder that an Aldie Mansion wedding is a popular choice for couples looking to have an elegant and unforgettable wedding day.
Sheri and Jason’s Aldie Mansion wedding was certainly one of those beautiful events that we’ll always remember. From the moment we arrived, we could tell that this was going to be a special day. Their ceremony was held at the Doylestown United Methodist Church, and the reception took place in the spectacular Aldie Mansion ballroom.
When we first met Jason and Sheri, we told them that we wanted to capture their wedding as it unfolded. We advised them to let the emotions of the day flow naturally without us having too much interference. And so, we photographed them getting ready, documented all of the incredible moments during the ceremony, and captured all the fun and excitement during the reception.
We told the story of their wedding through an editorial lens, and we’re delighted to share some of our favorite moments with you in the pictures below.
Getting Ready for the Big Day
To prepare for their big day, Jason and Sheri both got ready in their family homes, surrounded by their loved ones.
Our beautiful bride was already looking sensational when we arrived. While still comfortable in her bridal getting-ready outfit, her hair and makeup were already done, and her hands were decorated in an intricate henna design.
Once she entered the room in her stunning white dress, we were able to capture these tender moments of her with her mother, sister, and bridesmaids as they adorned her with various pieces of jewelry.
Before the couple left for the venue, they prayed with their families, receiving blessings and well-wishes for a beautiful marriage.
The First Look
It was a warm autumn day as Jason awaited his bride in one of the courtyards of Aldie Mansion. Sheri made her way down the winding path toward him, a stunning smile on her face and her bridal bouquet in her arms.
Jason’s expression was priceless as he turned around to see his bride for the first time. They shared a few moments alone together, exchanging beautiful letters they’d written for each other and savoring the moment before their big day began.
After the First Look, we took a short stroll around Aldie Mansion with Jason and Sheri to take portraits before their ceremony. Among our favorite shots was this one of the bride and groom, hand in hand beneath the boughs of the 300-year-old oak tree.
We also couldn’t help but be in absolute awe of Sheri in front of the mansion, her veil flowing behind her in the gentle breeze.
A Ceremony to Remember
The ceremony was held at the Doylestown United Methodist Church, just a short drive from Aldie Mansion.
The church was overflowing with family and friends as they waited eagerly to see the bride and groom make their entrance. The ceremony began with Jason’s parents walking down the aisle to greet him at the altar. This was followed by the procession of the groomsmen and bridal party.
As the bride made her way down the aisle, escorted by her mother and father, all eyes were on her. She looked absolutely breathtaking as she walked toward Jason, who was waiting for her with a look of pure love and admiration.
The ceremony was heartfelt and touching, with readings and music that reflected the couple’s love for each other. There wasn’t a dry eye in sight as they exchanged their vows and rings, pledging to spend their lives together.
In honor of their Indian heritage, the couple incorporated some of the beautiful customs into their ceremony. This included the lighting of the sacred fire.
The Reception at the Aldie Mansion Ballroom
After the ceremony, everyone made their way to Aldie Mansion for the reception. The ballroom was beautifully decorated with vibrant, intricate florals, white linens, gold accents, and twinkling lights above the dance floor.
Once everyone was seated, the happy couple’s parents were the first to enter the room, followed by Jason’s groomsmen, who were overflowing with excitement and energy. Sheri’s beautiful bridesmaids made their entrance to a round of applause, each one looking stunning in their colorful dresses.
The bride and groom entered the room last, to the sound of cheering and applause from all their loved ones. The groomsmen and bridal party formed an archway for them to walk under, and everyone erupted into more applause as the newlyweds made their way to the head table.
There were so many memorable moments throughout the night. One of our favorites was when the bride and groom shared their first dance. They danced surrounded by all their loved ones, spinning and laughing as they enjoyed this moment together.
The rest of the evening was followed by heartfelt speeches and some spectacular Indian dance performances by friends and family. The dance floor was packed all night long as everyone enjoyed celebrating the newlyweds. Later in the evening, Sheri changed into a traditional Indian wedding dress that was absolutely stunning. The intricate lacework, beading, and embroidery were as breathtaking as our beautiful bride.
