for all the challenges a city wedding presents, philadelphia’s grand views make it well worth it. ryan and flora hit all the best spots, starting at the loews hotel, having their first look at the race street pier, hitting franklin square before capping it off with a the ceremony and reception at the always impressive atrium at the curtis center.
scott and lindsay got engaged on dewey beach, and the couple returned to the scene to complete to process with a beach wedding. a spider crawling up one of the layers of lindsay’s dress couldn’t derail a beautiful ceremony, setting the tone for a wonderful party at the baycenter at the hyatt place.
brandon and pauline met me down at the race street pier in philadelphia and from there we wandered up to franklin square. both served as a beautiful backdrop for this fun couple.
we got lucky, doing an engagement shoot in the middle of january, finding a rather mild afternoon in philadelphia. james and steph introduced me to part of the mural tour through upper darby and towards center city. after checking out some of the impressive art, we landed at waterworks and the art museum for one of the best views in the city.
as soon as the fall rush ended, i couldn’t wait for this wedding to finally come. joe and christina are about as fun a couple as you can find (we had our first meeting in a phillies’ tailgate ). knowing their love for live sports and concerts, i had a feeling they’d know how to put on a good party. and boy, was i right. the setting was perfect, with princeton university the backdrop for their first look. from there, they swapped vows at a beautiful greek orthodox church and settled back for the party at the nassau inn. joe, christina and all their friends and family sent 2014 packing the right way, and ended the night with champagne toasts, noise makers and balloons falling from the ceiling. ryan seacrest had nothing on them!
