Torey and Anthony’s elegant & modern Spring wedding at the Ballroom at the Ben in Philadelphia was as beautiful as it was personal. Their joy and connection were palpable throughout the day, from the intimate moments of getting ready and their first look at Philadelphia’s Merchant Exchange to the exuberant reception at the Ballroom at the Ben.

Getting Ready at the Luxurious Loews Hotel

The morning began at the art deco Loews Hotel, which perfectly fit their black and white color palette. Torey’s hair was styled by The Philly Hair & Makeup Co. in soft, glamorous waves, and makeup by Rita Marie Pinto featured a flawless, natural look with a subtle nude lip, perfectly highlighting her radiant beauty.The elegant simplicity of her dress, with its intricate lace details, set the tone for the day. 

Overcoming Rain for a Stunning First Look at Second National Bank 

The day took an unexpected turn when rain began to fall just as Torey and Anthony were about to have their first look at Merchants Exchange. Undeterred, we quickly dashed across the street to the Second National Bank, where the large columns provided much-needed coverage. Despite the weather, we were able to capture all the planned outdoor photos, thanks to a quick trip to buy an umbrella for the couple. Torey and Anthony were thankful for the natural light photos we managed to take, despite the rain adding a memorable twist to their special day.
