This summer weather has me reminiscing and smiling from the inside out… Maria & Ethan’s wedding this summer in the city at Loew’s Philadelphia Hotel was perfection and our featured #WeddingWednesday couple!

We spent the morning in the bridal suite, sharing mimosas, laughs and even some tears.  It was an amazing start to the day!

Maria’s family and faith is the most important part of her life and we loved capturing these special moments that say it all.

Ethan was also having a blast getting ready, and got his own special “mom” with some last minute touches by the best man.

St. Rita’s of Cascia Shrine in Philadelphia has a lot of meaning and history for Maria’s family, her parents were also married in this exact church…

Because of the rooted history here, we couldn’t leave without documenting the place these two said “i do”.

The excitement and energy was high and we took total advantage of it.  Our first stop was the steps of the Union League…

Had to hit the iconic Broad Street with City Hall in the background, before we headed back to the Loew’s Hotel for cocktail hour.

Loew’s Philadelphia Hotel has on of the best view from their 33rd Floor.  We snuck the newlyweds away for a few moments before their cocktail hour…captured some of our favorites from the day!

Maria and I met many years ago at her BFF’s wedding, so this day and this couple have a very special place in my heart…I mean how can you not smile looking at these!

One last stop for our bride and groom, night time streets of Philadelphia…doesn’t get much better than these.

Congratulations Maria and Ethan!  You both are incredible individuals and I can’t wait to see what you conquer together.  I wish you only the best that life has to offer.

xoxo
