Erin and Christian’s joyful Jewish wedding at Castle Hill Cider was filled with the kind of excitement that only a wedding can create. After eight years together, including seasons of long distance, they finally got to call each other husband and wife. The weekend was finally here, and they were ready to celebrate with everyone they love! Their wedding brought together their different family traditions in a way that felt completely personal. Erin, who is Jewish, and Christian were married beneath a beautiful chuppah, with Erin’s aunt Tamy and Christian’s uncle David co-officiating the ceremony. Before the big ceremony, they also signed their ketubah in a private gathering with just their parents and officiants. It was a meaningful nod to Erin’s heritage and one of many moments that made this joyful Jewish wedding uniquely theirs.

Every detail felt thoughtfully connected, from the blue bridesmaid dresses to the invitation suite, which featured a hand-illustrated drawing of Castle Hill on the RSVP cards. The August heat was intense, but Erin and Christian seemed far too excited to care. After their first look, they exchanged emotional private vows before diving into a day full of celebration. Their reception entrance might have been the clearest expression of Erin’s excitement: she literally jumped for joy as she entered the room. She seemed to float into the reception, completely thrilled that this moment had finally arrived. The celebration continued with a choreographed first dance, plenty of energy on the dance floor, and a traditional Hora that brought everyone into the festivities. As the sun began to set, we slipped away for golden-hour portraits, capturing both sweeping mountain views and dramatic wide drone images in front of Castle Hill.

Erin & Christian,

Your joyful Jewish wedding was such a beautiful reflection of the two of you and the life you have built together. After eight years of dating, there was something especially sweet about seeing just how excited you were to finally be married. We loved documenting the little details, the family traditions, the emotional vows, and especially the pure joy that seemed to follow you everywhere. From the chuppah to the Hora to that unforgettable reception entrance, your day was full of moments that felt unmistakably yours. Thank you for trusting us to preserve it all!

With love,
Sarah and Hunter
