Loews Hotel Phila. Wedding

Rebecca, I know I speak for my whole family when I say, you have been with the family a lot over the last two years and have been a part of major life events and you have documented them in a way that no one us could have even ever imagined.  You allow us to relive our favorite days in the most special way!   These photos are beyond any expectations we had.  I love them and cannot thank you enough for being a part of the day.  Couldn’t have imagined our engagement day or wedding day without you as our photographer.  These are absolutely amazing and I cannot stop looking at them. Thank you for everything.   ~Kiera 

Kiera and Mark celebrated their wedding at  Loews Hotel, in the very room they met at in 2012. Kiera went to Penn Charter and Mark went to Germantown Academy, their paths were bound to cross sooner or later!  It was fun to capture their proposal (scroll down) and then shoot their wedding day!  Thank you Seeds of Celebration for helping coordinate such an organized wedding day.

A little rain would never stop Kiera and Mark from celebrating their marriage with a quick dance in the middle of Broad St., Phila. Darby from Seeds of Celebration helped the day run so smooth!

Kiera shares a moment with her dad right before they head down the aisle at St. Bridget's in East Falls, Phila. A wedding coordinator's assistance is great for situations like scampering through the light drizzle and keeping that gown dry. Thank you Seeds of Celebration wedding planners!
