Holly Hedge Estate Wedding | Gemma + Eric

A romantic Philadelphia wedding held at the historic and charming Holly Hedge Estate

Some weddings just hit that perfect mix of elegance and pure, easygoing fun—Gemma and Eric’s Holly Hedge Estate wedding was exactly that. The venue itself is a dream, blending an old-world estate vibe with a natural, tucked-away setting. And let’s talk about that stone courtyard—not only the best cocktail hour spot in Bucks County, but also one of our absolute favorite places to photograph. The aged stone walls, the creeping ivy, the way the space just feels timeless. It’s an easy win every time.

Gemma started the day in the cottage bridal suite, where the energy was relaxed but buzzing because no wedding morning is entirely calm. When it was time for the first look, she walked out to the courtyard where Eric was waiting, and their family and wedding party got a front-row view from the barn windows. But the real heart-melter was Grandmom’s face as she watched her granddaughter step out. One of those moments that just sticks with you.

Their ceremony in the barn was intimate and warm, with taper candles lining the floor, casting that perfect glow. But the real standout detail? Their handfasting ceremony, a nod to their Irish and Celtic roots. They chose ribbons in shades of green, tying their hands together in a tradition that goes way, way back. And because they couldn’t forget their furry family members, they even included a ribbon with tiny paw prints—a subtle but perfect touch.

The rain tried to crash cocktail hour, but nobody cared—the food was too good to be distracted. Spirits were high, drinks were flowing, and by the time the reception rolled around, the energy was through the roof. The speeches had people cheering, setting the tone for a night that was all about dancing, laughing, and celebrating. The couple closed out the night on the dance floor, surrounded by friends, just soaking in every last second. A little rain, a lot of love, and a day that felt exactly right.\
