I introduced this couple a while back when photographing their engagement shoot and now it has finally come! The big day. Their wedding took place on a sunny fall day at a classy venue called the Fitler Club in Philadelphia. It was everything they had originally described to me when I first met them. Jewel tones, velvets, vintage furniture, florals and greenery aplenty, tons of warm lighting, locally sourced (and DELICIOUS) food, and a party that would have all their guests dancing for hours.
Something I love about this couple is their attention to detail. At their wedding, they had so many intentional pieces that made the day extra special. From the coffee shop setting for photos, the beer cart at their reception, to the engraved napkins, THE DECOR (breathtaking), and table settings, their wedding was a beautiful picture painted of who they are as a couple.
The love surrounding them from their friends and family was heartwarming and the dance floor! Let’s just say that it was full all night long. A mix of love, laughs, and some killer moves. The vibe? Excitement and laid-back joy, celebrating without losing their sense of humor.
On top of being foodies, Cassie and Emma are huge coffee lovers. Their ideal date? A stroll to their local coffee spot, sipping lattes and enjoying each other’s company.
As this is an important part of their relationship, we stopped at one of Philadelphia’s local coffee shops, Alchemy Coffee, as one of the settings for their wedding photos. It was such a cute spot for us to stop at and capture such loving and authentic moments of the couple. If you scroll down so you can see them for yourself!
In the end, Emma and Cassie were chill sweethearts starting this next chapter in their lives feeling overjoyed and excited. It was a day to soak in the small stuff, see their planning pay off, and a love story that felt as cool as a woodland hangout right in the heart of Philly.
With good people, good vibes, and good times, the duo wrapped up their celebration, embarking on the journey ahead with hearts full of happiness and a love story that was as cool as it gets. I had the best time getting to know this couple and was incredibly happy to be their photographer.
