Janel and Al’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of love, elegance, and deep connection, set against the charming backdrop of Mount Airy, Philadelphia. Their celebration was filled with heartfelt moments, vibrant details, and a joyous gathering of family and friends. Capturing their day was an honor, and I’m excited to share some of the highlights from this special event.
The couple exchanged vows in the historic Schaeffer-Ashmead Chapel at United Lutheran Seminary, a venue that perfectly matched their vision of a meaningful and intimate ceremony. The chapel’s classic architecture and serene atmosphere provided the ideal setting for Janel and Al to say “I do” surrounded by their closest loved ones. As they walked down the aisle, the joy and love in the room were palpable, setting the tone for the rest of the day.
Janel and Al’s wedding was a true reflection of their personalities and love story. The day was meticulously planned, with every detail thoughtfully chosen to create an atmosphere of warmth and elegance. The floral arrangements by Rothe Florist added a touch of natural beauty, with rich, vibrant colors that complemented the historic charm of the venue. The couple’s attire was equally stunning, with Janel wearing a beautiful dress from RK Bridal and Al looking sharp in a suit by Charles Tyrwhitt.
Following the ceremony, the celebration continued at Jansen, a beloved local restaurant in Mount Airy. The intimate reception was filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and the warm glow of candlelight. The guests enjoyed delicious cuisine, and the evening was made even sweeter by a stunning cake from Bredenbeck’s Bakery. The dance floor was alive with energy, thanks to the fantastic music provided by Eclipse DJ Entertainers, ensuring that everyone was up and dancing late into the night.
Throughout the day, I focused on capturing the genuine emotions and connections between Janel, Al, and their loved ones. From the tender moments during the ceremony to the lively celebration at the reception, every photo tells a part of their love story. One of the highlights was the golden hour portraits we took at City Hall and Rittenhouse Square, where the couple’s love for each other was beautifully captured against the backdrop of Philadelphia’s iconic architecture.
