There are venues—and then there’s Longwood Gardens. Kate and MJ’s Longwood Gardens wedding was one of the very first to take place at this stunning new venue, and it was everything we hoped it would be. Elegant, timeless, impossibly beautiful. Longwood has always felt like a favorite hidden gem, but now it’s stepped fully into the spotlight as one of the most luxurious wedding venues in Pennsylvania. Walking the grounds, it’s easy to forget you’re even in the U.S.—this place feels more like a European garden estate, with grand fountains, creeping fig-covered columns, and ornamental architecture that rivals Florence or Versailles.
Kate and MJ embraced the full beauty of their Longwood Gardens wedding day. We started their portraits in the gardens, wandered through the fountains, and took full advantage of golden hour (which, at this venue, is something you absolutely do not skip). The light filtering through the trees and reflecting off the water gave everything a soft, romantic glow. Their photos in front of the fountains were some of our favorites—editorial, natural, and full of that effortless elegance that makes a Longwood Gardens wedding so special.
Their wedding design was classic and elevated. A soft palette of white and blush pink florals by Devon & Pinkett paired beautifully with the ornate setting. Their cake had a vintage feel, with delicate white piping that added a timeless charm. The entire celebration felt sophisticated yet relaxed. Huge credit to Jaclyn Fisher Events and the exceptional Longwood Gardens wedding staff for making every moment feel seamless and beautifully curated.
Getting to document one of the first Longwood Gardens weddings was a true highlight. This isn’t just a wedding venue—it’s a living, breathing work of art. For couples looking for a luxury wedding experience in Philadelphia with European-inspired architecture, botanical beauty, and showstopping photo locations, a Longwood Gardens wedding is unmatched.
