Whitley had almost given up on dating apps when she swiped right on Will's profile on Hinge. Their messages were clever and witty, and soon they were making plans to meet. Their first date was at Harp & Crown, a trendy spot in Philadelphia, and they hit it off immediately. They had drinks on their first date, dinner on their second, and on their third date, Will made sure to impress Whitley with a good old Texas BBQ feast.
Their connection was undeniable, and they fell in love quickly. Will was drawn to Whitley's intelligence and beauty, while Whitley admired Will's laid-back personality and his shared values. Everything felt effortless and easy, like they were meant to be together.
It was during the early months of the pandemic when they moved in together that Whitley realized she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Will. Despite spending 24/7 with each other, they still managed to have fun and make the most of their time together.
Will's proposal was something straight out of a fairy tale. He surprised Whitley with a trip to Rome and proposed at sunset on the Spanish steps. He had even hired a photographer to capture the moment. Whitley had suspected it was an engagement trip, but she didn't know for sure until the morning they left.
As they planned their wedding day, Whitley and Will were most excited about their first look and cocktail hour. They couldn't wait to see each other for the first time on their special day and to celebrate with their loved ones.
On their wedding day, Whitley looked stunning in her white dress, and Will was beaming with happiness. As they exchanged vows, they knew that they were meant to be together forever. They danced the night away surrounded by family and friends, and as they looked into each other's eyes, they knew that they had found their happily ever after.
Here are some favorites from their One North Broad wedding beautifully captured by Ralph Deal Photography.

Let's Talk About Your Wedding!
Ralph and his amazing team will always be family to my husband and I. They were a crucial part in making my day so amazing. They were genuine, kind and patient with each one of us. He and his team handle us all with so much care and never made us break a sweat.
For example, in nervous panic and pain from a contact, the team kind words, patient demeanor, and helpful hand made sure all was well and never made me feel worried or guilty. They made the day so much fun while also making sure we were on schedule. Never once was I worried or concerned about the process. His care and consideration in choosing the pictures was everything. He helped us tell a beautiful story in the best way possible.
My family and I felt at home for a review party. We laughed drank and simply just enjoyed each other company and reminisced about the magical day. Each photo was so incredible beautiful. It captured the love and happiness for everyone at the wedding! I don’t think I put into words how amazing our photos abs album came out.
The creating of the album process was even more peaceful. We were able to take the time and really make out album our own. I don’t think words can express for how much Ralph and his beautiful team mean to us. If you want people to became family and treat you as so, then Ralph and his team are the ones to chose! We love Ralph and his Team so much!
