Philadelphia wedding | Kristen + Chris

Finally! A wedding in our home town! The day started off with the bride in an ultra-modern suite at the iconic Bellevue Hotel, then to St. Patrick’s Church for the wedding ceremony. After exchanging nuptials, we walked the block from St. Pats to Rittenhouse Square for  photos with the family and bridal party. Cocktails, dinner and dancing followed at The Bellevue Hotel’s Rose Garden Ballroom. Smooth dinner jams and uptempo dance hits were provided by our friend Kim from No Macarena.

Philadelphia engagement portraits | Beth + Rob

We met up with Beth and Rob at our old stopping grounds at 18th + Walnut. It was a perfect day and the park was filled with an interesting array people out enjoying their Sunday afternoon. It’s always a challenge creating personal, intimate images of a couple when there’s an audience observing your every move. But Beth and Rob are no strangers to city life and were definitely up to the challenge. They exhibited zen-like grace while we made are way around the park; blocking out the many distractions swirling around them and focusing only on one another. The park became theirs and theirs alone, if only for this one Sunday afternoon in April… Well done guys!
