Mr. & Mrs. Malinowski at Twin Pines Manor Bed & Breakfast in Ephrata, PA

I first heard from Mike and Sherri in January. They were supposed to be married in Italy, however, there was some concern over the validity of the marriage license approval process so they shifted gears and decided to elope! They booked a spot at Twin Pines Manor Bed & Breakfast for the weekend and got special permission to be married in their garden.

I was delighted to find that this beautiful manor is just a few miles from my home! It's tucked away behind rows of trees. I had no idea it even existed! As I drove down the path, the manor and gardens unfolded before my eyes. Rows of blossoming cherry trees and beautiful sunshine!

Mike and Sherri were ready and waiting for me just inside the door when I arrived. Mike told me Sherri had a beautiful gown but what I was so excited about as she walked out the front door was her purple hair! She is a woman after my own heart!

They had a private ceremony in the garden and then we explored the grounds to take photos. The love between Mike and Sherri is palpable. They are fun and comfortable and so in love. It was an absolute joy to be a part of their special day!

Now they are heading off to Europe for the first time and will have a symbolic wedding in Rome with photographs throughout the city. So magical, right?!
