Looking for the perfect place to say “I do” in Philly? A Love Park elopement in Philadelphia might be just what you’re looking for. On a sunny summer afternoon, I had the joy of capturing Kedesha and Jorge’s beautiful and intimate elopement right in the heart of the city—with nothing but love, laughter, and the energy of their closest friends.
Their day started at the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia, where they got ready just a few floors apart. There’s always something special about that anticipation—quiet moments filled with nerves, laughter, and love. After slipping into their wedding attire, we stepped outside for a sweet first look right in front of the hotel. It was simple, quick, and filled with the kind of joy that sets the tone for the rest of the day.
From there, we took a short stroll to City Hall for some romantic portraits framed by Philadelphia’s grand architecture. Then came the ceremony itself: a peaceful walk down to Love Park, where they stood in front of the iconic LOVE sculpture and exchanged vows surrounded by the people who mattered most.
A Love Park elopement in Philadelphia is perfect for couples who want something meaningful without the stress or scale of a big wedding. The backdrop? Instantly recognizable, full of city charm, and completely yours.
