Philadelphia is such a great backdrop for photos, and while I love hitting all the popular spots like Broad Street and the Art Museum, I also try to encourage clients to pick places that are meaningful and special to them, places entwined with their history together. Fortunately Stephanie and Greg’s relationship blossomed around the Art Museum, which has no shortage of terrific spots.
My own history as a newlywed is also linked to the Art Museum area. My wife and I bought our first house there and walked by Logan Square and Rembrandt’s daily, sitting on the same bench and at the same table as Stephanie and Greg are in the pics below – laughing, gazing and planning our future together. We’re now a few weeks away from celebrating our 11th anniversary, and I can’t help but look at these photos and feel warm and fuzzy.
The rest of the photos are from Old St. Joseph’s and The Downtown Club. We’re at both places constantly, and if you read this blog you’ll know how much I love shooting there. Couldn’t help but post Stephanie and Greg’s awesome thank you card too. Congrats again!
Meghan and Kevin got married at Our Lady of Perpetual Help and then headed over to The Villanova Conference Center to celebrate. Beautiful grounds and an old stone mansion combined to make this setting the perfect backdrop for Meghan and Kevin’s photos. Below are a few of my favorites from the day. Congratulations again!
Bret assures me that the fact that he’s a physician had nothing to do with his wedding being held at The College of Physicians in Philadelphia. “That place? Where I have the meetings?” he said to Hilary when she suggested they get married there. Yep, that place, and it didn’t disappoint. Housing the Mutter Museum and a beautiful outdoor herb garden, and set up perfectly by Catering by Design, The College of Physicians is definitely one of the more unique and cooler sites to get married at downtown. Hilary and Bret were goofy and adorable (as expected) and obviously so in love. Congratulations!!!
Love this shot of Hilary and her mother in the herb garden. And below, Hilary and Bret stealing a quick kiss while they wait to begin the Ketubah signing (Jewish marriage contract).
Hilary and Bret updated the Jewish tradition of the bride circling the groom and instead circled each other to begin the ceremony, symbolizing their protection of one another (above and below).
