A modern black-tie wedding at The Westin Philadelphia, Colleen and Ben’s day balanced timeless style with a clean, editorial edge. Ivory florals by Fabufloras, candlelight, glass details, and a custom dance floor transformed the ballroom into a refined city celebration with quiet drama and unmistakable polish.

Planned and designed by The Styled Bride, the day carried a sense of old Hollywood glamour through a distinctly modern Philadelphia lens. Colleen’s look was effortless and magnetic, pairing classic bridal beauty with the kind of confidence that defines the atmosphere around it.

From the mirrored ballroom and candlelit reception to portraits framed by Philadelphia’s historic architecture, this Westin Philadelphia wedding felt elegant, cinematic, and completely its own.

I loved getting to capture and experience Colleen and Ben’s elegant wedding, after having had the pleasure of photographing their Chic Engagement Session this past summer!
