Durham Hill Farm is a gorgeous new wedding venue in historic and beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Durham Hill, owned by Elizabeth and Kevin Roberts, just began hosting weddings this spring. They offer vintage rentals, such as this featured 1923 Ford Model TT Farm Truck, farm tables and distinctive and wonderfully eclectic plank bottom chairs. The barn was built in 1812 as a dairy barn, and is one of Bucks County’s most historic stone bank barns. The farm and property date back to 1700.
This Styled Shoot features not only a new wedding venue but blends the historic with what is currently trending in weddings. Elegant meets rustic is the theme. A rich color palette of jewel tones featuring deep purples, reds and pinks. And gold! Gold mercury glass on one of the huge farm tables, gold dusted grapes, blueberries and blackberries on the cake. Red grapes mixed in with the lush floral centerpieces.
The models are Lindsay and Michael, and they are engaged and planning their wedding for March of 2018. This is their engagement shoot as well as a Styled Shoot featuring this new wedding venue and these wonderful vendors.
The bride wore a wedding gown featuring a lace detachable jacket and long veil. Lace has become popular, as have long veils. Strapless is still in style, though an off-the-shoulder strap or a cap sleeve is popular, as is illusion. The groom wore a navy blue tux with a black lapel. Navy, black and dark grey are trending fall colors for menswear.
Staging with vintage furniture is a huge trend. We incorporated a sage green settee, gold candelabra and end tables. Durham Hill provides the huge farm tables and the eclectic mix of cool vintage chairs.
Here are the fabulous professionals that contributed to this Styled Engagement Shoot;

I love the mix of chairs in this photo. The farm table, set in a color palette of vibrant reds, purples and pinks, accents with red grapes. The barn features wonderful huge farm tables with an eclectic array of cool vintage plank chairs. The table is set with a mix of vintage china from Something Borrowed Philly, floral arrangements by Mark Bryan Designs, and desserts by Dish Catering.

Lindsay and Michael walk out in the pasture at Durham Hill; the property also has a horse farm surrounded by the beautiful rolling hills of Bucks County.
Lindsay and Michael are actually getting married in March of 2018, and make the perfect couple for this Styled Engagement Shoot.
Durham Hill also has a few horses on the property; one in particular doesn’t mind a bride with a long veil.

I love this photo! Lindsay and Michael stand in front of the main barn window. This is where the head table normally would be for weddings. Beyond them is the outdoor ceremony space outside.
Photographed from the ceremony space outside, the huge barn window is a wonderful setting for the bride and groom.
The entrance to the reception barn, decked with wonderful ceiling lights.
There is even a cornfield.
I can’t seem to get enough of cornfields!
