Vintage Bohemian Mountain Wedding: Carolyn + Trevor

Poconos Mountain wedding

Carolyn (who’s from Philadelphia) + Trevor (who’s from the Big Island of Hawaii) met while studying abroad in Fukuoka, Japan. They exchanged their vows in a romantic, earthy celebration surrounded by nature in the beautiful Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania. The day was a seamless blend of woodsy, rustic + vintage details that perfectly reflected what these two are all about. They knew they wanted to create a relaxed setting where guests could linger and enjoy a nature-filled night under the stars. And everything came together in what proved to be a massive family effort. Carolyn shares, My uncle printed the invitations we made, my mom turned curtains I found at Ikea into tablecloths, and Trevor’s sister ensured that his traditional Hawaiian wedding lei arrived safely. Even when we found out Trevor’s ring would not be with us in time for the wedding, my dad helped by making him a temporary one out of wood. It felt like our wedding was truly a family effort which made it even more special for us.

A big thanks to Paper Heart Photography for the lovely photos + congratulations to the newlyweds on a beautiful day!

The ceremony was held in a tiny pavilion under a canopy of trees with rustic wooden benches for the guests. Such a gorgeous setting if you ask us!
