The Westin Philadelphia Wedding|Lauren and Cody

The Westin Philadelphia Wedding, the bride and groom and the families are everything that you could want as a photographer. The wedding was planned and executed with perfection, the bride and groom are beautiful both inside and out and the families are the most loving, fun group of people you can imagine. Oh, and their friends are awesome and crazy fun as well!!

Other than Lauren and Cody's portraits and the Bridal Party portraits everything took place at the Westin Hotel in Center City Philadelphia. Kudos to the team at the Westin for creating a gorgeous backdrop to Lauren and Cody's wedding day.

And my heartfelt thanks to the Licht/Porten families for giving us the honor of documenting this day...it was an amazing time!!

Here are some of my favorites from The Westin Philadelphia Wedding day:

The getting ready portion of the day couldn't have gone any smoother thanks to Jill Kozar from Up Your Do and Dylan Michael Cosmetics. They finished everyone ahead of schedule and are always a pleasure to work with!

A Message from the Bride

Ralph was absolutely incredible to work with and is extremely talented!

If you're anything like me (and probably most brides) and get a bit anxious on important days (i.e. your wedding day), you NEED to hire Ralph! He has the most calming personality and is constantly reassuring you that everything will be great and has the talent to back it up.

Perfect example - We hired Ralph after a successful engagement shoot in NY. Not only did he meet us in NYC, but when my husband and I went to the wrong location and were almost 30 minutes late, he stayed calm, cool, and collected and stayed longer than he had scheduled in order to ensure we got all of the great photos he wanted to take.

I was so frazzled but he ensured me not to worry, calmed me down, and we ended up getting beautiful photos. That had me sold, and then he further proved himself leading up to and on our wedding day. He took the time to drive around the city with us ahead of our wedding to select different locations to shoot and we later prioritized such locations to ensure if we ran low on time, we had a plan.

The day ran so smoothly and I never looked at the time once because I knew he had everything covered. I am so excited to create our album, but I know it will be difficult because we have so many incredible photos to choose from! THANK YOU Ralph and your entire staff for capturing the most perfect night of our lives!

Bride and Groom

Lauren and Cody wanted to spend their portrait time in Rittenhouse Square and the City Hall area. They have a wonderful chemistry together and we had such a great time while making these images!

Lauren and Cody danced to EBE's Dreamtime playing John Legend's "You and I (Nobody In The World)". I highly recommend Dreamtime if you're looking for a band!
