Danika and Austin – Ceremony at Zion United Methodist Church and Reception at The Crystal Room

09.18.17

Danika and Austin were married on a beautiful summer day at Zion United Methodist Church in Sarver, PA. The reception followed at the always lovely Crystal Room at the Butler Days Inn. For photos, we stopped by Whispering Pines in Butler. The date of their wedding had special significance, as they picked numbers that correlated to their childhood sport’s team numbers.

Danika is in her last year of undergrad. The couple first met at a high school basketball game. Danika and Austin describe themselves as a couple as being strong, compassionate, and adventurous.

The proposal took place when Austin planned a photoshoot for them to get pictures together, which quickly turned into an engagement photoshoot.

Danika and her bridesmaids got ready at Danika’s home, while the guys were over at the church. They chose to touch hands and pray without seeing each other before the ceremony, which in the industry we call a “first touch.”

After separate photos, it was time to head to the ceremony, where Pastor Shawn Smith presided over the ceremony. They had 250 guests in attendance and seven members of the bridal party. The detail that the couple wanted their guests to remember most about their wedding was the day that they and their son truly became a family.

The weather was absolutely perfect for taking pictures!

We always try to personalize our photography for the couple, which sometimes includes stopping at the cemetery to visit a loved one on the day of your wedding.

The couple spent their honeymoon in Jamaica – Montego Bay to be specific.

Danika and Austin, it was truly a privilege and an honor to work with you on the first day of your marriage. We thank you for choosing Kristen Wynn Photography and wish you a lifetime of love and happiness always! I absolutely love the passion that you two share for each other. Congratulations!
