We quickly went around the block from Old Saint Josephs to the park at the Second Bank of the United States for some couple pictures. Night falls so quickly in late November that we only had about 20 minutes. It was dark by the time we returned to the Union League and our limo driver pulled right in the center of Broad Street for the famous Broad Street shot. The reception was just magnificent with flowers and decor by Nancy Saam. For a moment I thought it was Springtime!
A most popular date for a wedding is Thanksgiving week. With family and friends in town for the festivities it’s a perfect time for a wedding. With the assistance of wedding planner Lynda Barness of I Do Wedding Consulting, Megan prepared for her day at The Union League of Philadelphia. With a stunning Lazaro gown and Kate Spade shoes, Megan was just classically stunning. Megan and Peters ceremony was held at the intimate and historic Old Saint Josephs Church in Old City Philadelphia, which was the perfect spot for some quick pictures before sundown!
Liz and Peter hit the fall foliage lottery with their engagement portraits. The leaves in Sayen Gardens were just ablaze! I do hope the weather on their Summer wedding in Philadelphia will be as perfect!
