By Mist + Moss – Lancaster PA Wedding Videographer + Photographer

Some love stories take a little persistence—Alex would know. As she put it, “It took a couple tries… but he was the first person who made me feel whole.” That beautiful sentiment became the heartbeat of Alex and Josh’s wedding day at Highland Mansion in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania.

As a Lancaster-based wedding videographer and photographer, we’re constantly inspired by couples who bring their full selves to the day—and Alex and Josh’s story did just that. Their wedding film is layered with DIY vintage vibes, elegant design, and heartfelt moments that span their engagement adventure session and the emotional depth of their wedding weekend.

A Vintage-Inspired Wedding at Highland Mansion

Nestled just outside Philadelphia, Highland Mansion and Gardens is a venue that blends historic charm with natural beauty—an ideal backdrop for Alex and Josh’s romantic and slightly whimsical style. The couple chose to hold both their engagement session and wedding at Highland, creating a cohesive story arc throughout their film.

We incorporated camcorder footage, soft vintage overlays, and Super 8-inspired textures to capture their vision—something nostalgic, yet very much their own. The result? A wedding film that doesn’t just document a day, but tells the story of a journey.

A Full-Service Experience from Engagement to Wedding Day

As a photo + video team based in Lancaster, PA, we loved being part of the entire process—from their playful, sun-drenched adventure session to the quiet morning prep moments and emotional toasts under twinkling string lights.

Alex and Josh curated a day filled with meaning, supported by a standout team of vendors who brought their vision to life:
