THE ELKINS ESTATE WEDDING

Jaimi & Ryan

Elkins Park, PA

Set just outside the city of Philadelphia, The Elkins Estate offered the perfect backdrop for Jaimi and Ryan’s elegant, high-energy wedding weekend. With over 220 guests in attendance, their celebration felt expansive yet deeply personal—filled with laughter, meaningful moments, and the unmistakable feeling of everyone being fully present.

The result is a seamless, joyful celebration that unfolded naturally from quiet morning moments to a packed dance floor late into the night.

Getting Ready at The Elkins Estate

Laughter, joy, and the build of a celebration to come.

The morning at The Elkins Estate unfolded with energy and excitement woven into every room. Jaimi got ready in the estate’s stunning bridal suite, where natural light and the presence of her closest friends and family members set a joyful tone from the start. Just down the hall, Ryan and his groomsmen filled the billiards room with conversation and easy camaraderie, the kind that comes from shared history and genuine connection. These preparations felt less like waiting and more like a steady build—each moment carrying the anticipation of a day that was already alive before it ever officially began.

First Look & Wedding Portraits at the elkins estate

A shared pause, framed by architecture and connection.

Jaimi and Ryan’s first look took place on one of the estate’s stunning balconies, overlooking the grounds below. With their parents and bridal party quietly nearby—cheering them on as the ultimate hype team—the moment was filled with genuine emotion and joy. Following their first look, we explored some of the most iconic locations for Elkins Estate wedding photos: the hallway overlooking the lobby, the grand staircase, and the sweeping driveway with the estate standing proudly behind them. Bridal party portraits on the front staircase felt timeless and celebratory, perfectly matching the scale and energy of the day.

Outdoor Garden Ceremony at the elkins estate

Vows beneath open sky and historic stone.

The ceremony unfolded in the Elkins Estate garden, one of the most beautiful garden wedding venues near Philadelphia. Lush greenery, a stone staircase, and the stately estate itself created a setting that felt both romantic and grounded. As Jaimi walked down the aisle, the space seemed to hold the moment—guests gathered, sunlight filtering through the trees, and vows exchanged in a setting that felt effortlessly elegant and deeply meaningful.

Cocktail Hour & Reception at Elkins Estate Ballroom

A seamless transition into celebration.

Cocktail hour flowed easily as guests mingled across the grounds, easing into the evening with conversation, laughter, and clinking glasses. Inside, the Elkins Estate ballroom welcomed everyone into a reception that felt grand without losing warmth. With a guest list of over 220, the room buzzed with energy from the moment Jaimi and Ryan made their entrance. The night unfolded with heartfelt toasts, a packed dance floor, and an atmosphere that only a Pennsylvania estate wedding venue of this caliber can offer—ending not with a slow fade, but with an unforgettable, joy-filled celebration that carried on late into the night.
