The Shickora Wedding at Riverdale Manor Lancaster | TK Artistry Wedding Photography

The Shickoras | Riverdale Manor Wedding | Lancaster, PA

The kind of love that began during one of the most uncertain times — the early days of COVID — turned into something steady, joyful, and deeply beautiful. 💫 After connecting on a dating app, Rachel & Vinny spent an entire month building a connection through long conversations before ever meeting in person. Their first in-person date at Birdsboro Reservoir? It later became the place where Vinny proposed… while Rachel was searching for rocks to skip. 🥹💍

On June 27th, these two soulmates promised forever at the beautiful Riverdale Manor in Lancaster, PA. Their day was filled with intentionality, love, laughter, and music — the perfect reflection of who they are, both as individuals and together. 🤍

Planning Pointers for Future TK Couples

• Don’t underestimate the power of a first touch. It’s a quiet way to connect and ease any nerves before the ceremony.
• Want your day to feel extra personal? Consider having someone close to you officiate — it makes the ceremony so much more meaningful.
• Live music brings the energy! If you’re into music (like Vinny), a live band like @bachelorboysband is an unforgettable choice.
• Trust your gut when designing your day. Rachel’s DIY invitations and thoughtful details made their wedding feel truly them.
• Remember to take mental snapshots. The day moves fast — be present and soak in the love surrounding you.
