Lucia and Ben had been together for years, but the story of their love began long before they officially started dating. They attended the same high school, but their paths never crossed until after Lucia graduated. One fateful day, they were both at a party thrown by a mutual friend, Jenna. They hit it off right away, bonding over their shared sense of humor and love of adventure. From then on, they were inseparable.
What made Lucia fall in love with Ben was his infectious personality and his ability to make her laugh. They were not only a couple but best friends, always finding new things to explore together. Lucia knew from the very beginning that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Ben, and it was a feeling that only grew stronger over time.
The Proposal:
The day that Ben proposed was a dream come true. They were walking through Rittenhouse Square, their favorite spot in the city, after dinner at their favorite restaurant. As they strolled through the park, Ben got down on one knee and asked Lucia to marry him. She said yes, of course, and was surprised to find a party waiting for them with all their friends and family.
Now, as Lucia looks forward to their wedding day, she can hardly contain her excitement. The first look, when Ben will see her in her wedding dress for the first time, is something she's been looking forward to for months. She's also thrilled to walk down the aisle with her father, knowing that it will be one of the most emotional moments of her life.
Lucia and Ben's love story is one of laughter, adventure, and deep connection. They are each other's best friend and soulmate, and they can't wait to spend the rest of their lives together.

Let's Talk About Your Wedding!
"Wow where to begin! Ralph was our photographer last year for our October wedding, from the first phone conversation I had with him I knew a made the right choice. I could not have been happier with how my pictures turned out as well as with the experience my husband and I had with Ralph and his entire team. Throughout the entire process Ralph took the time to make sure everything went perfectly even when it didn't. Ralph was professional, attentive, and patient to every email, text, phone call and question, including the ones asking him to resend our photos almost a year post wedding because it slipped my mind to download them. Can't wait to work with him and his team over and over again for year to come!"
