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.

Night photos have become very popular in wedding photography, and I always try to make it beautiful and interesting. Here the bride and groom are reflected in the pool, with the barn silo and farmhouse. The backlighting adds the wonderful reflection.
Cindy DeSau photographs of a wedding at Durham Hill Farm showcases the venue and soe of the area’s best wedding professionals. 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. The models are Lindsay and Michael; they are engaged and planning their wedding for the spring. This is their engagement shoot by Cindy DeSau https://www.cindydesau.com/ as well as showcasing what is trending in weddings for 2018.
The bride wore a wedding gown featuring a lace detachable jacket and long veil. Lace has become popular, as have detachable trains. Though strapless is still seen, sleeves are a big trend, as is illusion. For the groom, this navy blue tux with black lapel is popular, as are grays, (both light and medium), and of course the classic black tuxedo is a mainstay.
Gold mercury glass on the huge farm tables, gold dusted grapes, blueberries and blackberries on the cake. Red grapes mixed in with the lush floral centerpieces. Staging a wedding with vintage furniture is a huge trend. An example here is this sage green settee, gold candelabra and end tables. Durham Hill provides the huge farm tables and the eclectic mix of cool vintage chairs.
Durham Hill Farm, owned by Elizabeth and Kevin Roberts, just began hosting weddings during the spring of 2017. Ceremonies are held outside by the 150-year-old hand hewn arbor. The historic barn hosts wedding receptions. They offer vintage rentals, such as a 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 photo shoot, which showcases what is trending in weddings and photographed at a new wedding venue, is an actual engagement shoot. It was orchestrated by Cindy DeSau of Cindy DeSau Photography, who pulled together the following wonderful vendors who contributed to this shoot: Mark Bryan Designs, L&H Couture, Doylestown, Ventresca LTD, Something Borrowed Philly LLC, Daneene Jensen & Associates Hair and Makeup and Dish Catering.
