And then there was food, beautiful food, and dance, with flower petals falling from the ceiling! Most important there was love and laughter and a perfect ending to a perfect wedding day!

It’s been awhile since I’ve photographed a wedding at the Downtown Club. Always beautiful, it’s now glowing with it’s “freshen up” by the  Cescaphe Event Group. BEAUTIFUL!  Katie was one of those brides who was so expressive throughout the day. I can tell your inherited her expressiveness from her dad. A beautiful moment!Wedding Preparations: Hotel Monaco

Katie was a bride who knew how to make a grand entrance. For her first look she chose the steps of the Rodin Museum! One of my favorite locations in Philadelphia it made for a “perfect” first look. After doing all the family portraits at the museum we moved on to the historic Merchant’s Exchange. A first for me and I LOVED it. I’m sure I will be back with other couples. Right across the street was the First Bank where we finished up our portraits before departing for the Downtown Club to get these two married!Wedding Preparations: Hotel Monaco

I would say all of my brides are joyous on their wedding day but Katie was a bride who expressed so exuberantly. It was contagious. She, and everyone around her were having the best day ever and that feeling just continued to grow and the day proceeded! So many thoughtful details to this wedding. I especially loved Katie’s Christening and Communion gowns hanging next to her wedding gown.  And check out those cute puppies the groom rant into in the lobby of the hotel Monaco. Is it good luck to run into a litter of puppies on your wedding day? I say yes!Wedding Preparations: Hotel Monaco
