I'm so excited to share our first wedding from 2017! Kaitlin and Christophe kicked off our new year beautifully with a ceremony at St. Thomas Aquinas in South Philly before heading to their reception at the Ballroom at the Ben. In between we stopped for some fun and fancy bridal party portraits at Washington Square Park!

We kicked off the day with the bride at Hotel Monaco, which is such a fun place to take pictures. The rooms look so cool and they really make for a great backdrop. The groom got ready at their house in South Philly, just a few blocks from the church.

Their personalities really came out during the portrait portion of the day. Christophe has such a funny demeanor and he was throwing ideas at us left and right! Kaitlin, obviously knowing how he is, just rolled with it.

It felt great being back in the saddle. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Philadelphia Wedding Photography | Linda & John's Union Trust Wedding

*Posted by Matt*

Linda and John started off our 2016 weddings with their March wedding at Union Trust in Olde City. It was our first time working a wedding at Union Trust and I am so glad we had the opportunity because it was such a refreshing new wedding venue for us!

They kicked off the day getting ready at the Hotel Monaco before heading over for a first look at City Hall. We had some quiet time with just the bride and groom at the LOVE statue before heading over to meet the bridal party on South Broad Street.

Then it was off to Union Trust for the ceremony and reception!

 

The day was full of twists and turns, as most weddings are. Some of the highlights included a groomsman deciding to leave portraits without telling us to head back to his apartment, a surprise 'Baby Boomer Flash Mob' (yes, you read that correctly) and some unexpected snow while we were out doing portraits!

Congrats, once again, to Linda and John. Thank you for bringing us along and introducing us to a new, fun place in the city!
