Most weddings don’t come with their own neighborhood folklore, but Madison and Sean’s does. On the way to their Bok reception, they made a pit stop at Dirty Franks in full wedding attire. Drinks in hand, surrounded by regulars, they turned a normal Saturday into something unforgettable. Fast forward more than a year later, they walked back in and someone actually recognized them. He remembered their exact wedding day stop and even had photos saved from that night. That’s Madison and Sean for you; Wherever they go, they leave a story behind.

When planning a wedding in Philadelphia, one of the first big decisions is the venue. This city is filled with historic landmarks, modern architectural gems, and lush garden escapes. But for couples who want only the best, a handful of venues stand above the rest.

Fall in Philadelphia is hard to beat, and Corey and Shannon’s engagement session in Old City made the most of it. The crisp air, the colorful row homes, and the cobblestone streets created the perfect backdrop for cozy photos. Old City is one of our favorite spots for a Philadelphia engagement session because it’s historic, intimate, and full of hidden corners to explore.

Nick and Maya’s Indian fusion wedding at Pen Ryn was pure bliss. They chose River’s Edge for their ceremony, a spot that sits right on the water with the best views of the Delaware. The sun was shining, the breeze was light, and it felt like the whole day was lined up in their favor.

A maternity session with the family dog by the ocean for couples who love simple, honest photos. Being invited back to capture Marissa’s maternity session feels like a continuation of a long, beautiful thread. We met them down the shore at their family home and started easy—bare feet, jeans, white tees, and their beloved dog Teddy (I adore Teddy) happily tagging along.

There is something about a vintage garden wedding that just feels timeless. The combination of lush greenery, vintage wedding details outdoors, and a little bit of magic makes for the kind of celebration that could be pulled from an old photo album and still feel fresh today. We have seen so many couples bring this vision to life, each with their own twist. Think antique vases, retro rentals, and even disposable cameras tucked into the tables. Here is some garden party wedding inspiration from a few of our favorite celebrations.

It felt like walking into a family reunion. We first met the Samuels family years ago at Sara’s sister’s wedding, so when Sara and Kevin asked us to film their Philadelphia wedding, it felt like coming home. The laughter, the hugs, the easy way everyone moved around each other made the day feel warm and familiar. We already knew this family could throw one incredible party, and knowing we’ll be celebrating with them again next year (for Sara’s OTHER sister’s wedding) makes it even better.

Their session took place in their own home, which we love. That’s where the real memories live. The quiet mornings, the midnight feedings, the first giggles, all of it starts there. Boyd’s nursery was simple and sweet, with soft navy and white tones and a hand-crocheted sweater bearing his name. It felt personal, just like everything Nikki and Peter do.

Bri and Fareed’s Philadelphia elopement was the kind of day that reminds us why we love what we do. When we first started talking, the plan was leaning toward a big wedding with all the moving parts that come with it. But as time went on, they felt drawn to something quieter, something that was just for them. They decided on an intimate elopement, and we were thrilled. There’s a special energy that comes with elopements. The emotions feel so present and pure, the focus entirely on the couple and their love.

Kevin and Alisha’s engagement session was everything we love about photographing couples in Philly. We started in Old City and wandered into Queen Village, letting the streets set the pace. The evening had that late-summer glow that makes the city feel alive, and these two leaned right into it. They brought bikes along and instantly turned the session into something playful and personal. It felt less like portraits and more like an adventure together, which always translates into photos that are natural, timeless, and fun.

Some couples are just made for the energy of a city wedding, and Annie and Daniel are the perfect example. Their Lilah celebration was modern, stylish, and overflowing with joy. It was the kind of day that makes you want to pick up a camera and never put it down. They chose one of our hybrid wedding films, blending digital and Super 8, which fit their personalities perfectly. Crisp, modern footage captured all the laughs, the dancing, and those tiny in-between moments, while the Super 8 gave it a nostalgic heartbeat. It is the best of both worlds: timeless texture paired with the voices, music, and movement you never want to forget.
