A Fun Summer Wedding at Terrain at Styers | Cara & Brock
Some weddings are elegant. Some are romantic. And some are just straight up fun. Cara and Brock’s summer wedding at Terrain at Styers in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, was all of that wrapped into one joyful, colorful day that felt completely authentic to who they are.
Set at the lush, garden-filled grounds of Terrain at Styers, their wedding featured a soft summer pastel palette of sky blue, lilac, lavender, and baby pink. From the florals to the overall energy of the day, everything felt lighthearted, creative, and intentional. The theme, in their words, was simply fun, and it showed in every moment.
Digital and Film Wedding Photography at Terrain at Styers
Cara and Brock were drawn to my work after seeing photos Terrain shared on Instagram, and from the start, they were excited about incorporating both digital and film photography into their wedding day. I photographed their wedding using a mix of digital cameras and film, blending the crisp storytelling of digital with the softness and nostalgia of film.
Can you spot the difference?
Film photography embraces imperfections in the best way. The grain, the subtle shifts in color, the softness in focus, it all adds depth and emotion that feels timeless and organic. Film has a way of slowing things down and capturing moments as they truly felt, not overly polished, just real. Paired with digital images, it creates a gallery that feels layered, intentional, and full of heart.
For couples like Cara and Brock, who love trying new things and value authenticity, film was the perfect addition to their wedding photography. A decent portion of their gallery leans into that dreamy, nostalgic look they love, while still capturing the full story of the day.
A Wedding Day That Felt Like Them
More than anything, Cara and Brock wanted their wedding day to feel authentic and true to who they are. They love exploring new restaurants together, trying new experiences, and approaching life with curiosity and creativity. That energy carried through their entire day.
They wanted a balance of candid moments and lightly guided portraits, room to be playful, and space to just exist together. The result was a wedding day that never felt forced, only joyful, relaxed, and very real.
Terrain at Styers as the Perfect Backdrop
Terrain at Styers is one of my favorite venues to photograph in the Glen Mills and Philadelphia area. The gardens, greenhouse spaces, textures, and natural light make it ideal for couples who want their wedding to feel organic and elevated without being stiff.
The in-house catering, the flow of the property, and the overall atmosphere make wedding days here feel seamless. It’s especially perfect for couples who value design, nature, and a warm, welcoming guest experience.
A Summer Celebration Full of Color and Personality
From the soft pastel florals by Indigo Floral Co to the effortless styling and beauty team, every detail supported the playful, summery vibe Cara and Brock envisioned. Nothing felt overdone, just thoughtful, joyful, and full of life.
This wedding was a reminder that the best days are the ones where couples stay true to themselves, embrace creativity, and let things unfold naturally. Add film photography into the mix, and the memories feel even more timeless.
