ONE North Broad – A Wedding Photographer’s Dream Venue

Located in the heart of Philadelphia, ONE North Broad is more than a wedding venue, it’s a visually rich space that adds depth and character to every frame. Housed inside the Masonic Temple, this historic landmark offers dramatic backdrops and architectural details that turn wedding galleries into timeless narratives.

Designed for Impact – Visually & Practically

From the moment you enter, the setting delivers. Think sweeping staircases, stained glass windows, and high ceilings, all of which photograph beautifully, whether you’re shooting a first look, portraits, or a grand entrance. Each room has its own theme and personality, giving you a variety of visual tones throughout the day without ever leaving the building. The Grand Ballroom handles up to 200 seated guests for dinner and up to 450 for receptions – ideal for couples who want an elegant celebration with room to move. The natural light, ornate ceilings, and centerpiece Benjamin Franklin statue offer striking focal points without overpowering the couple in the frame. The Grand Foyer, with its marble floors and dramatic staircases, sets the stage for pre-dinner cocktails and natural photo transitions between moments. It also connects seamlessly to the Ballroom, so events flow without the typical back-and-forth stress, great for candid shots and uninterrupted storytelling.

Ceremony & Portrait Opportunities

Whether you’re using one of their themed lodge rooms for the ceremony or setting up portraits in the Library and Museum space (which includes original items from George Washington), you get more than just good lighting; you get layers of meaning, history, and texture that show through in your wedding gallery.

Convenient for Guests, Stress-Free for Couples

ONE North Broad is just 17 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport, making it easy for out-of-town guests. And with the whole day taking place in one location, ceremony, portraits, cocktail hour, and reception, it simplifies logistics for you and keeps everything on track for the best photography coverage.

Let’s Talk About Your Wedding!

“We could not have hired a better photographer for our wedding than Ralph. We have countless photos that we can use in our home and are thrilled to look back on to remember our wedding day. The day moves so quickly but Ralph did an incredible job capturing the moments throughout the day so we can re-live the emotions, setting, and all the love that filled the occasion. Ralph’s process of getting to know my wife and I through the planning meetings and engagement session was more detailed and fun than expected. He wanted to get to know us. The level of effort that Ralph pours into his work mirrored the level of effort that we felt we were putting into the wedding day as a whole, which we were thrilled with. The post-wedding meeting is a great experience as well as Ralph allowed us to walk back through the day and choose the layout for our wedding album in-person in a theater-like setting. Working with Ralph to capture the irreplaceable moments on the most important day in our lives was the best choice we could have made!”
