Philadelphia Wedding Preperations of Katie + Breen – 10.15.11

Glowing through the beautiful afternoon sunlight at the Sofitel in Philadelphia was Katie’s perfectly ethereal Vera Wang gown and Katie perfectly paired them with a delicate pair of Vera Wang bridal shoes. The groom and his groomsmen also prepared at the hotel and they all walked together St.John the Evangelist Church. What a fun group they were., they had my second photographer Jill in stitches. Breen, an architect, struck struck a very architectural pose in front of City Hall and they also stopped by Occupy Philly to say hello to the occupiers! Katie’s preparations were much more elegant. I especially loved the pin. There is a tradition with Katie’s college sorority that whenever a sister gets married they wear the pin. Today was Katie’s turn and her sorority sisters all helped pin it on her dress.  Check out that beaming smile on Katie’s in the last picture. It turns out that her limo that was supposed to take her to the church was stuck in a traffic jam in New Jersey. It did not bother this bride at all. We all hailed cab and got this bride married! She was all smiles as she was on her way to marry Breen!
