There is something inherently nostalgic and magical about a summer camp wedding, and Megan and Corey’s celebration at Camp Lindenmere was the perfect example of why this trend is so beloved. Nestled in the heart of the Poconos in Henryville, PA, the venue offered a stunning backdrop of towering trees and serene lakeside views. From the moment the morning began at the Lake House, the atmosphere was one of pure joy and relaxation, setting the stage for a weekend that felt less like a formal event and more like a heartfelt gathering of their closest tribe.
The day was filled with intentional, cinematic moments—most notably, an emotional first look in the woods that allowed Megan and Corey a quiet breath together before the festivities began. The ceremony took place at the camp’s rustic amphitheatre, where the couple exchanged vows under the forest canopy. As they made their exit as husband and wife, a shower of bubbles and rose petals followed them up the aisle, marking the transition from a sentimental ceremony to a high-energy celebration.
The reception at the Pavilion was where the “camp” vibe met elegant design and incredible energy. The evening was defined by deep emotion, highlighted by a series of heartfelt toasts from family members including Megan’s Uncle Eddie, Jessica, Alexandra, and AJ. Between the touching stories and the packed dance floor, the love in the room was palpable. It wasn’t just a wedding; it was a high-energy tribute to a beautiful couple, and we are so honored to have captured every laugh, tear, and dance move in their highlight film.
Behind the Scenes: The Creative Team
The Setting: Camp Lindenmere
The foundation of this entire weekend was the incredible atmosphere provided by Camp Lindenmere. Managing a venue with so many moving parts requires a pro, and Elliot Roberts and his team made sure every detail—from the Lake House prep to the Amphitheatre ceremony—ran seamlessly. It’s rare to find a venue that offers such a perfect blend of rustic nostalgia and modern wedding elegance, providing a true “getaway” experience for every guest.
Visual Storytelling: John Barone Photography
Capturing a wedding this dynamic requires a shared vision, and working alongside John Barone was a highlight of the day. John has a fantastic eye for the candid, quiet moments that happen between the big events. Our teams worked in tandem to ensure that Megan and Corey’s gallery and film feel like two halves of the same beautiful story, capturing the light and the laughter of the Poconos perfectly. The overhead drone shot of the couple was his idea, and I think it turned out awesome!
Floral Artistry: Lush Event Design
The natural beauty of the Pennsylvania woods is hard to beat, but Lush Event Design managed to elevate it even further. Their floral arrangements brought a sophisticated, organic touch to the Pavilion and the ceremony site. By using textures and colors that complemented the late-summer greenery, they created a visual thread that tied the entire “summer camp” theme together into something truly high-end.
Vibe and Energy: DJ Paris
A reception is only as good as its soundtrack, and DJ Paris absolutely delivered. I have been working with him for over a decade now. From the moment the introductions began, the energy in the Pavilion never dipped. It takes a specific talent to read a crowd and keep a dance floor packed for hours, and DJ Paris made sure that Megan and Corey’s celebration was the high-energy party they had dreamed of.
Beauty and Style: Makeup by Roxy
The morning preparations set the tone for the entire day, and Makeup by Roxy ensured the bridal party felt confident and camera-ready from the start. Creating a look that feels natural in a lakeside setting but remains flawless under the reception lights is no small feat. The “Lake House” prep was filled with laughs and relaxation, thanks in large part to a beauty team that kept everything on schedule and stress-free.
A Personalized Path: Melanie Hoover
The heart of the day was, of course, the ceremony. Melanie Hoover officiated a service that felt deeply personal to Megan and Corey. Standing in the Amphitheatre surrounded by towering trees, Melanie’s words centered the day on the couple’s unique journey. It was the perfect, grounded moment before the celebration kicked into high gear.
