Philadelphia’s historic landmarks set a stunning stage for Karly and John’s wedding. From getting ready at the Loews Hotel to portraits at the Rodin and Art Museums, and a lively reception at the Water Works, every moment was filled with beauty and joy.

Bridal Preparations at the Loews Hotel

Karly’s wedding day began in a stylish and retro Loews Hotel, surrounded by her closest friends and family. The morning was filled with laughter and anticipation. Karly’s KYHA Studios gown was a modern masterpiece, perfect for the architectural elegance of their venues. Hair by Top Knots by Aimee and makeup by Jenna Apel ensured everyone looked their best.

Timeless Wedding Portraits at the Rodin Museum & Philadelphia Museum of Art

Karly and John’s portraits at the Rodin Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art were breathtaking. The Rodin Museum’s classic architecture and serene gardens provided a timeless backdrop, while the Art Museum’s majestic steps offered a dramatic scene. Karly’s sculptural dress perfectly matched the venues’ artistic splendor, creating unforgettable images.

Elegant Reception at Philadelphia’s Historic Water Works

The celebration continued at the historic Water Works, a stunning venue with views of the Schuylkill River. Cescaphe’s catering and Beautiful Blooms Events’ floral arrangements created a romantic atmosphere. The Modern Luxe Band kept the energy high, ensuring a joyous celebration. Every vendor, from our very own Wren Films’ to Ventresca Ltd’s men’s attire, played a crucial role in making the day perfect.

Karly and John’s wedding was a celebration of love and elegance, beautifully framed by Philadelphia’s historic landmarks. It was an honor to capture these unforgettable moments.

I simply cannot find the words to express how amazing Emily, Gregg, Nick, and Sam were. Hiring Emily for photography and her husband, Gregg, for videography was undoubtedly the best decision we made. From start to finish, Emily made the entire process effortless. She was exceptionally responsive and organized during the wedding planning phase. On the wedding day, I was absolutely blown away! Emily was on top of everything. We hadn’t met Gregg before our wedding day, but he instantly put us at ease with his warm and friendly demeanor. His kindness and professionalism shone through in every interaction. Nick was absolutely fantastic, bringing infectious energy and making the experience so much fun for the groomsmen. Sam was equally professional, kind, and attentive. Overall, the entire team worked seamlessly together, and they were so enjoyable to be around throughout the day. We recently received our sneak peek, and Emily left my husband and me speechless. The photos are even better than we could have imagined, bringing us to tears. From the smallest moments to the biggest, she captured them all with incredible talent. It truly was the best day of our lives, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photography and videography team. – Karly & John
