Elizabeth & Andrew’s Magical Winter Wedding

January 2024 – Philadelphia, PA

There’s something undeniably magical about a winter wedding, and Elizabeth and Andrew’s big day was nothing short of enchanting. From the snow-covered landscapes to the warmth of family and friends, their wedding was a beautiful celebration of love, connection, and joy.


Getting Ready in Haddon Heights

Elizabeth started her morning at home in Haddon Heights, New Jersey, surrounded by her bridesmaids, her mother, and her daughter, Jane. The atmosphere was filled with excitement (and maybe a few happy tears) as they helped her get ready for the day. Her dress, a stunning piece from Hand-Me-Gowns Bridal, was a perfect blend of elegance and timeless beauty. As we captured detail shots of the dress, florals, and accessories, the most touching moments were undoubtedly those between Elizabeth, her daughter, and her mother—three generations coming together on this special day.


A Timeless Ceremony at St. John Cantius Church

The couple exchanged vows at St. John Cantius Church in Philadelphia, a breathtaking venue with ornate decorations and an abundance of natural light. The grandeur of the church only amplified the emotion of the ceremony, as Elizabeth and Andy promised forever to each other. After the ceremony, we took a mix of heartfelt family portraits and intimate couple shots within the church before heading out for more portraits in the winter wonderland.


Snowy Portraits at Benjamin Rush State Park

A fresh layer of snow made for the dreamiest backdrop at Benjamin Rush State Park. The wedding party braved the cold for some epic shots, and Elizabeth and Andy’s couple portraits in the snow were pure magic. There’s something about winter weddings—the way the crisp air makes moments feel even more intimate, the contrast of a warm embrace against the cool scenery—it’s truly something special.


A Celebration at The Waterfall Room

The reception at The Waterfall Room was an evening of heartfelt moments and nonstop dancing. Elizabeth and Andy’s first dance set the tone for the night, followed by touching parent dances and a special dance with Elizabeth’s daughter, Jane. Speeches were filled with love and laughter, and in a beautiful tribute, Elizabeth dedicated her bouquet to her mom, thanking her for all the love and effort she put into making the day so special.

As the night went on, the dance floor was packed, and guests celebrated in full swing thanks to the incredible music from DJ Bobby Sacco. And just when everyone thought the night couldn’t get any better, a Chick-Fil-A nugget cart made an appearance, ensuring that guests left with happy hearts and full stomachs!
