Reading Terminal Market Wedding

By | 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!

Reading Terminal Wedding

By | 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!

FALL WEDDING AT READING TERMINAL MARKET

By | Weddings | No Comments

There are so many reasons to love this job and two of them are Alisha and Rick. I can’t say enough good things about them. From our first meeting together to discuss their fall wedding at Reading Terminal Market, to our correspondence before the wedding and then on the actual day, they were awesome to work with and a joy to be around. In the morning I met Alisha and her family at her home while she got ready for the big day. I loved chatting with her dad while photographing details and feeling like a member of the family! Rick and Alisha chose to do their first look and some portraits at their home, which is also where Rick grew up. They also signed their marriage certificate at the same dining room table that was a part of Rick’s childhood home. It was important to the happy couple that their home was used in their photos before heading into the city for their wedding.

After arriving in the city we took cover from a little bit of rain and took several family photos at the Courtyard Marriott and City Hall. Afterwards our Bride and Groom and her newly engaged sister and soon-to-be-brother-in-law walked to Love Park for a few more portraits. After waiting in traffic caused by the naked bike race we finally were able to finish up our bride and groom portraits in Rittenhouse Square. Finally it was time for the ceremony with Rick served as the officiant which made it that much more special. The bride’s sister Nicole said a few words before announcing Rick and Alisha as husband and wife!

Reading Terminal weddings always vary between couples and I love seeing how mine use the space as a blank canvas to create exactly what they want. Alisha and Rick chose classic white linens, gold chiavari chairs, and simple greenery with white candles as their decor which pairs amazingly well with the industrial vibe of the market. The new Mr. and Mrs. started the party with their first dance to Sea of Love by Cat Power and then ultimately broke into a high-paced choreographed dance to Now That We Found Love by Heavy D, which will go down as my favorite first dance ever! The rest of the night was full of laughter, dancing, amazing food and drinks, and a great celebration of our newlyweds.

Congratulations Rick & Alisha!!
