Down Town Club Cescaphe Wedding in Philadelphia | Courtney & John

Weddings

Before I fell in love with photographing your love, I worked as a graphic designer at an architecture firm. I spent my days learning about how buildings, interior spaces, colors, and lighting evoke different emotions.

When I became a full-time wedding photographer, I took these skills with me. My editorial approach incorporates the beauty of the scene around you into the shot, enhancing the romance of your story.

A Romantic Down Town Club Cescaphe Wedding in Philadelphia

Courtney and John’s Philadelphia wedding was centered around the people they love most, with portraits throughout some of the city’s most historic locations before an evening reception at Down Town Club Cescaphe overlooking Independence Hall.

The day began with getting ready at the Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown Hotel before Courtney and John shared a private first look and exchanged personal vows outside the Second Bank of the United States. From there, we captured portraits at the Merchants’ Exchange Building, the Rodin Museum, and Broad Street with Philadelphia City Hall before celebrating with their family and friends at Down Town Club Cescaphe.

As a Philadelphia wedding photographer, I love creating images that feel connected to the places couples choose to celebrate. Courtney and John’s day combined the history of Philadelphia with a celebration that felt intimate, joyful, and completely personal.
