Desiree and Ryan's wedding at the Tendenza had to be one of our most entertaining all year! The newlyweds gave us the heads up that their bridal party was going to be a handful, but we were ready for them.They kept us laughing the whole day!

Melissa met the girls for getting ready photos at Desiree's family home in Northeast Philadelphia, while Matt gathered the guys at Ryan and Desiree's apartment above the Dollhouse Tanning Salon, which Desiree owns and operates.

Once the girls, dressed in strapless black bridesmaids dresses, helped Desiree into her beautiful, flowing wedding gown β€” which was embellished with diamonds β€” they gathered their things and went to meet Ryan and his groomsmen for the ceremony at Resurrection Church in the Northeast!

The ceremony was a traditional catholic wedding mass, and by the time the just-married-duo walked down the aisle, there were very few dry eyes in the church.Β After the mass, the whole bridal party hopped onto a trolley for arguably the most fun ride we've taken. First we stopped in Olde City for bridal party portraits before ending up in Northern Liberties. We did a few bridal party portraits at Liberty Lands, a park in Northern Liberties, and then took the Bride and Groom for their own portraits around Northern Liberties!

Following suit from the rest of the day, the reception at Tendenza was a ton of fun. The guests definitely did not hold back from busting a move on the dance floor!

Congratulations, Desiree and Ryan!

Philadelphia Wedding Photography | Mark & Kerri's Princeton Wedding

*Posted by Theresa*

Kerri and Mark's October wedding was a perfect way to kick off our fall season last year. TheirΒ wedding day β€” centered around Princeton, NJ β€” was full of warm colors, leaves that had just begun to turn, and lots of excitement! Their sense of humor was right in line with ours, too, and that always helps!

Kerri started off her day surrounded by her bridesmaids (and the most adorable flower girl/ring bearer combination) at her parent's home, while the guys were at Mark's family house getting ready. Kerri's strapless, mermaid wedding dress was paired with an off-the-shoulder shawl, making it perfect for the fall day. Her bridesmaids also looked stunning in their black, low back bridesmaids dresses, and their red lily bouquets really popped. The bride left for her ceremony in style, riding in a classic, white, 1927 Rolls Royce! Talk about awesome!

They had a traditional Catholic wedding at St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church and then strolled around the school for some beautiful bridal party portraits at Princeton University. The old architecture really made for some lovely photos! The reception at South Gate Manor in Freehold, New Jersey, was beautiful. They went with a black and white theme, with splashes of red throughout. They even had an ice cream sundae bar to finish off the night! How sweet!

Kerri and Mark, thanks so much for having us as part of your day! Your style and sense of humor really came together to create great images.
