Hyatt at the Bellevue Wedding

By noreen | Weddings | No Comments

With all of the talk about postponing weddings lately it seems fitting that Kaitlyn and Rob’s Bellevue wedding is the next on the blog. These two successfully postponed their November 2019 wedding after a tragic car accident and were able to celebrate this past February, just three months later. In the end, the date didn’t matter for the newlyweds – only the fact they were happy and healthy, and able to have one hell of a party – mostly thanks to Lisa, their wedding coordinator at the Bellevue.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kaitlyn, Rob, and Kaitlyn’s parents in my studio to discuss their day and then photographed their engagement session on a beautiful spring day in old city. Their wedding day was full of amazing surprises planned by friends and family! Their niece beautifully sang their first dance song, one of the maids of honor had the most amazing toast which was written to the tune of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and the best man surprise everyone with a visit from the Eagles pep band! It’s difficult to accurately put in words what an incredible day it was, so continue scrolling for a complete overload of photos! Congratulations Rob and Kaitlyn! It was an honor to photograph your wedding day. And thank you to all of the vendors that pulled together to make the new wedding date a complete success!

Northeast Philadelphia Wedding

By noreenturner | Weddings | No Comments

Maura and Steve’s northeast Philadelphia wedding was the perfect end to my 2019 season! Their personalities reminded me so much of mine and my husbands and it felt good to be back in my neighborhood, back to the area where so many of my own friends were married! We were blessed with a gorgeous yet kind of cold day, thankfully with a lot of great sunlight and a stress-free timeline. The massive bridal party was a breeze to work with and not to mention, gorgeous! And can we all agree that Maura’s gown is STUNNING? I’m so happy to have been a part of this wonderful day – thank you Maura and Steve and congratulations!

Corinthian Yacht Club Wedding

By noreenturner | Weddings | No Comments

Mark and Melissa claim to be awkward in front of the camera but I think that after photographing their engagement session, and now after photographing their Corinthian Yacht Club wedding, they’re pros! I couldn’t ask for a better couple to photograph and for a better wedding day. Mark and Melissa were so chill on their day and really enjoyed celebrating with their friends and family. We never had to leave Corinthian Yacht Club which made the flow of the day completely stress-free. The grounds were beautiful to photograph as well! As usual I have trouble selecting a small group of photos to share so there are almost 100 in this post – enjoy!!

Reading Terminal Market Wedding

By noreenturner | Weddings | One Comment

I have a serious problem where I am completely unable to bring down the photo count on my blog posts! Maybe I overshare but I just love the details that my brides choose as well as so many moments throughout their day. And when their friends and family make you feel like you’ve known them for ages, it’s difficult to not share! Allison and Eamon’s Reading Terminal Market wedding was perfection! I knew from the first time we met for their engagement session that this wedding was going to be fun! I’m pretty sure I even said that to the staff at All About Events when we were speaking about when we would work together again. Allison & Eamon are kind, relaxed, classy, fun, quirky, and make you feel so comfortable to be around. I know it is usually my job to make my couples feel comfortable but these two just made me feel like we have known each other for ages.

The day started at the Loews hotel where the couple got ready and did their first look right on that beautiful staircase leading to the ballrooms. We walked to City Hall, Dilworth Park, and Pafa for their photos then very conveniently ended up practically on the doorstep of the Friends Center where their ceremony took place. The ceremony was thoughtful and touching and heartfelt with Allison’s sister as the officiant and their dog Reggie as the ring bearer. After they said I do everyone partied down at the Reading Terminal Market which, if you don’t know me very well, is my favorite place!! I have always loved the market because I love food but photographing weddings there just takes my obsession to a new level!

Enjoy the photo overload and congratulations to the newlyweds!

Colonial Dames Wedding

By noreenturner | Weddings | No Comments

True love isn’t found – it’s built.

I love this quote because like so many couples that meet online, so did Elizabeth and David! Although they set out specifically to find each other, that does not automatically create a relationship. They are building their relationship and their love story day by day. Working with them over these past few months has been a joy. They are a lovely and kind couple that are both so devoted to each other.Their Colonial Dames wedding may have been hectic at times but it was full of sweet moments! Thank you for having me photograph your day – it was an honor and I wish you both all of the happiness in the world!

Reading Terminal Wedding

By noreenturner | Weddings | No Comments

You wouldn’t think that a shorter wedding day would result in so many photos but when you have a couple that is just happy to be together, to be with their friends and family, and happy to enjoy their lives, you can’t help but over-photograph things! Lauren & Jeff’s Reading Terminal wedding didn’t exactly go off without a hitch but they were always positive, pleasant, and kind! Even after a mishap on my end (reserved tickets for the Magic Gardens on the wrong day!) they were ready to go with the flow and move on to Plan B, which ended up working out better than our intial plan would have anyway! No wonder their family and friends love them so much.

The day started with Lauren getting ready with her mom in the couple’s apartment in Philly. From there we went to the first look location at the Magic Gardens where unfortunately, Jeff couldn’t get in because I reserved tickets from the wrong day ::insert facepalm here::. Instead, Lauren and Jeff did their first look right out front where we could still take photos in front of the murals. We also were lucky enough to be able to use other murals in the area. Then we moved to beers at Dirty Frank’s which was one of their first date locations! After that trip down memory lane we walked to Broad Street for the iconic shot in front of city hall where we were joined by an elderly gentleman. As I stood back and took pictures, I imagined he was giving them excellent marriage advice but apparently I think he was trying to sell something to them!

Shortly after photos at City Hall we met up with family and did portraits. Then it was off to the ceremony and receptions at Reading Terminal Market! The ceremony was officiated by one close friend and another sang a beautiful solo. The couple toasted with coors light in remembrance of Lauren’s dad and gave a beautiful speech thanking everyone, and reminiscing about the first time they met. Then everyone just danced the night away! It was an honor to be a part of this wedding and a true honor to know Lauren and Jeff! Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Hotel Palomar Wedding

By noreen | Uncategorized, Weddings | No Comments

From our first meeting to their engagement session at Forbidden Drive and finally to their wedding day, Christine and Devon were kind, goofy, funny, thoughtful, and just a joy to be with. Their Hotel Palomar wedding was perfectly quaint, romantic, and full of love.

We started the day a little different than most weddings, skipping the bride and groom prep and went straight for the first look in Hotel Palomar’s library. After a few portraits there we were able to take our time and explore Rittenhouse Square for a few more portraits. The park was pretty busy since it was such a beautiful day but we lucked out and scored a sweet spot where no one was in our way. Christine and Devon were even personally serenaded by a wonderful gentleman in a yellow seersucker suit. They insisted that he didn’t need to sing for them I won that battle and we have some adorably sweet and awkward photos for it!

After the photos in Rittenhouse we made our way back to Hotel Palomar for family portraits, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. I need to mention that Christine and Devon truly made me feel like family. I had a seat at the table and enjoyed dinner with their close family and friends. I loved learning more about them as a couple and also all about how they met their friends. After an amazing dinner we walked over to Fado for a little after party!

Their wedding day was truly amazing! Having a small wedding doesn’t take away from the importance of the day and if anything, the celebration is even more special. This was definitely evident for Christine & Devon. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. and thank you so much for having me be a part of your day!

PLEASE TOUCH MUSEUM WEDDING

By noreen | Weddings | One Comment

What a whirlwind of a day!! First of all, this day was not the first wedding for Swetha & Jon. The happily, already married couple already celebrated in India alongside Swetha’s family in a traditional ceremony and celebration. The wedding, in traditional fashion, lasted several days and was a huge event! Following their Indian wedding, Swetha & Jon had their American wedding right here in Philadelphia, at the Please Touch Museum. The location was perfect for this fun-loving couple who did not let anything get in their way of a great time.

Their wedding date happened to fall on the first beautiful spring day in Philly which meant traffic….everywhere. We originally had planned on finishing the bride and groom’s preparations then meeting at the Delaware Waterfront for the first look and a few portraits, then heading to the Please Touch Museum and Whispering Wall for more photos. The traffic really threw a wrench in our plans and unfortunately we were not able to make it to the waterfront and barely had time to leave the immediate area outside of the Please Touch Museum. You would never guess how much we were running behind because of those issues because Swetha, Jon, and their families and friends were just intent on enjoying the beautiful day.

Their Please Touch Museum wedding went off without a hitch and we were still able to make beautiful photos just on the steps and areas in front of the museum. The ceremony was heartful, romantic, and sweet and was followed by some laughter and craziness on the carousel. The reception area at the Please Touch Museum is stunning. You won’t find a ballroom as grand as this anywhere else. Swetha & Jon’s good friend made custom toy centerpieces for each table, fitting given the location. The rest of the night was a true party and the dancing didn’t slow down for one second.

Swetha & Jon, you were a true pleasure to work with. Your personalities were truly magnetic and it was a joy spending the day with you both, even if a good part of that day was sitting in an uber, slowly making our way through traffic. I wish you both a life together filled with even more beauty than BOTH of your weddings!

UNION TRUST WEDDING

By noreen | Weddings | No Comments

If there is anything you should take away from this Union Trust wedding it’s that you don’t ever need to apologize for being a little extra! Jaime meticulously planned her wedding day and admitted that some details may have been over the top but it was flawless and stunning! Jaime and Anthony celebrated among close friends and family in the best way and didn’t let the rainy weather get in their way of anything. We started the day at the Hotel Monaco for prep and the first look and then made our way to the Blue Cross Riverrink for photos. While we waited for our own private cabin we hung around the lodge for a bit to take photos and of course grab some crab fries! The rain stopped just in time for a few photos around the river rink and along the Delaware River. Then it was time to head to Union Trust to meet for family photos and the ceremony! The space at Union Trust is stunning on its own but the flower wall provided by Nicol Floral Designs and the centerpieces by Precious Petals made it breathtaking. The ceremony and reception were perfect thanks to all of the staff at Finley Catering and each of the other vendors listed. We ended the night with an amazing dessert display complete with waffles, ice cream and much more. Congratulations Jaime and Anthony! I wish you both a life filled with nothing but happiness!

JG DOMESTIC WEDDING

By noreen | Weddings | No Comments

I have so many favorites from Chelsea and Tony’s JG Domestic wedding! Their day was a bit hectic due to some crazy traffic in the city but when you have a bride like Chelsea that has every gorgeous detail planned perfectly a little traffic is no big deal. The new Mr. and Mrs. had the most gorgeous sunny day for their wedding and celebrated alongside close friends and family at JG Domestic in Philadelphia. Garces Events ran the whole day perfectly as well as all of the other vendors that Chelsea and Tony chose for their day! Federal Donuts saved the dessert portion of the evening when an original plan had unfortunately fallen through and the staff at JG Domestic were hospitable even to myself, my second shooter, the DJ and the video staff. The entire day was a true pleasure. Enjoy!
