Inn at Leola Village Photographer: Nicole & Gabe

A romantic getaway with a wine cellar, candles, an exquisite library, and a hidden secret!  I love photographing couples’ stories after the wedding day and being an Inn at Leola Village photographer! 🍷🕯️📜

A couple stands close together, gazing at each other lovingly in the cozy wine cellar room. Captured candid by an Inn at Leola Village photographer, shelves with wine bottles and books create a warm, intimate atmosphere behind them.

 

Why Rhinehart Photography?

Gabe shares, “From the moment we met Lisa on our first video call, we felt her vibe was in total alignment with ours. We were very correct and feel like working with Lisa is as seamless as working with an old friend.”  

Nicole adds, “Before we worked with Lisa, we didn’t have many good photos of the two of us, but every photo she took of us was stunning. Lisa made it easy for us to understand what to do, and it was even easier the second time around! Gabe and I were both much more comfortable in front of the camera. Lisa is also just a wonderful person to spend the day with, so we even asked her to join us for dinner after. I can’t recommend working with Lisa enough.”

I love working with Nicole & Gabe! It was so kind of them to invite me to dinner after, too. My clients truly become friends, and I get to photograph them through all of the phases of their lives — weddings, families, businesses, etc. 🤍

 

Nicole & Gabe: Leola Village Romantic Getaway

Gabe laughs, “We were struggling to pick a good location, but chose to defer to the expert! We asked Lisa to recommend places in Pennsylvania with good vibes, knowing we had similar tastes. Nicole then found the cellar room when we were exploring the recommendations, and we instantly knew that was it!”

Nicole says, “I think it was a very cozy and intimate setting. I love a good reading nook! After the whirlwind of a wedding, it was really nice to spend an entire photoshoot comfortable and together.”

Candle-lit library: Romantic Inn at Leola Village Photographer

Nicole smiles, “Gabe is the person I most love spending time with, and I thought that location really felt like a romantic hideaway for the two of us. And who doesn’t like drinking wine by candlelight?””

Nicole shares, “Gabe is a romantic and has such a spirit of adventure, so any place we go is all the more fun for it. On the day, we lit candles, drank wine, and danced with one another. It’s a pretty great memory, and I’m so glad we have photos of it.”

Serendipity: Indigo Dress, Bands and Book!

Gabe says, “We love quiet reading corners/bookshelves, and stone just has so much “weight” to it in a setting.  We love to travel together, but the most important part of that statement is the ‘together‘. Reading together in a cozy environment is always a joy of an experience.”

The Secret… Hidden Scrolls!

Nicole says, “I was particularly entertained by these secret notes we found from folks who had been there before us…although some were more appropriate than others!”

Gabe laughs, “Some of those notes we found would make sailors blush, but that just adds to the comedy of the day!  How could we resist adding our own note? “

Nicole & Gabe found hidden scrolls in the walls! I love Gabe’s expression here while reading one. They decided to write and add their own scroll to the collection!

 

Two of a Kind!

Gabe smiles, “Putting a hat on Nicole (she always looks so good in hats), dancing around with her, and finding little notes is just part of what makes us meld so well and sparks that joy.”
