Crystal Tea Room wedding | Taleen and Will | by Finley Catering

Crystal Tea Room wedding

The modern Loew’s Hotel in Philadelphia is where we started documenting Taleen and Will’s wedding day. Laughs, emotion, and tears were all on display at the start of the day and later we moved onto their ceremony at the beautiful Church of Gesu where they tied the knot. Mother nature didn’t want us sticking around outside in Washington Square Park for too long and hushed us towards Crystal Tea Room for the big reception.

Janis Nowlan Brand made sure the party was on as soon as we arrived. And it isn’t a real party if the mummers don’t make a special appearance.

I will be remiss if I didn’t mention the great people that made the day possible. Big thanks to Ryan for helping capture the day. Lisa, our lovely planner, for keeping everything running smoothly. Dana at Beautiful Brides Philly for the gorgeous makeup and hair of the ladies. And last but not least Carl Alan for the wonderful flower arrangements.

Ben Franklin Bridge Engagement Session

Ben Franklin Bridge is one of the most sought-after engagement locations in Old City, Philadelphia, and with good reason. It offers stunning views no matter the time of the day.
Jon used to date Vienna around this area and couldn’t pass the opportunity for some great portraits at Race Street Pier under the bridge although it was a foggy morning.
How sharp did these two look? 🤩💖

Brandywine Park Engagement | Lauren & Mike

It was my first time working at the Brandywine Park in Wilmington but I really enjoyed exploring the park with Lauren and Mike. The Rose Garden made for some beautiful backdrops filled with flowers and sunshine. We even got to pop some champagne later in the evening, right under the moonlight.
