Jessica and Adam’s Handcrafted Wedding at John James Audubon Center

After meeting 10 years ago, what started as a casual acquaintance over a broken laptop screen turned into a lifetime of love, laughter, and a whole lot of home improvement projects for Jessica and Adam. Their journey, from the early days of house renovations to raising three kids, and now tying the knot, has been nothing short of remarkable.

On their wedding day, the picturesque John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove served as the perfect backdrop for this couple’s next big adventure. Nestled in the heart of Audubon, PA—where Adam has lived since he was seven years old—the venue was not just a beautiful setting but a place that felt like home. With all the events happening on-site, the day flowed seamlessly from start to finish.

The day kicked off with Jessica getting ready at the Audubon Center, where the excitement was palpable. With hair styled by Beauty Call Beauty Co., and no detail left unchecked, Jessica looked stunning as she prepared for the moment she and Adam had been waiting for. Meanwhile, Adam, cool and collected, got ready just a short distance away, ready to step onto the front porch for their first look.

As the clock struck 4:00 pm, Adam stood on the front porch of the historic house at the Audubon Center, nerves and excitement dancing in the air. Jessica approached from behind, the anticipation building with each step. When Adam finally turned to see his bride, the love and admiration in their eyes said it all. It was a moment of pure connection, one that set the tone for the rest of the day.

Their ceremony, held outdoors, was a true reflection of who they are as a couple. The ceremony space, beautifully decorated, became even more special as Adam and Jessica exchanged vows they had written themselves. The unity painting on canvas, a unique and personal touch, symbolized their journey together. As the ceremony concluded, guests gathered around to celebrate, with Adam and Jessica leading the way.

Cocktail hour began at 6:00pm, where guests enjoyed the stunning surroundings and the chance to visit the John James Audubon Museum, open exclusively for the event. One of the highlights was a visit from the resident owl—a nod to the couple’s love for nature and their shared history with the venue. The evening continued with a reception filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments.

Inside the barn, the reception space was transformed into a celebration of Adam and Jessica’s journey. From the cake stand made from leftover wood from their backyard fence to the custom knife and server, every detail was thoughtfully crafted by the couple themselves. Guests participated in yard games, danced the night away, and enjoyed a photobooth from Twinkle Photo Booth. The evening was capped off with a bubble sendoff during the last dance, a fitting end to a day filled with magic.

For Adam and Jessica, their wedding day was about more than just saying “I do.” It was about celebrating the life they’ve built together, surrounded by family, friends, and the little details that make their love story unique. From the heartfelt vows to the custom decorations, their day was a reflection of their journey—one that their wedding photographer captured beautifully.

As they look back on their wedding day, Adam and Jessica will have a treasure trove of memories to cherish—from their first look on the porch to the laughter and joy of their reception. And for everyone who was there to witness it, their wedding was a reminder that love, in all its forms, is the most beautiful DIY project of all.

Thank you for a wonderful wedding!
