Sprit of Philadelphia Sunset Cruise Wedding | Philadelphia, PA

Saida and Godfred’s wedding was the my first wedding of 2021… the year that many couples had to reschedule their wedding due to covid. It was one of many intimate weddings I photographed, and it was the one that made me fall in love with micro-weddings all together - how it’s filled with intimacy, intention, and quality. From the getting ready to the final dances, they made me feel like I was part of their big day… as more than just their photographer. Also, LET’S HEAR IT FOR NON-TRADITIONAL OUTFITS FOR THE GROOMS!!!!

The weather is the biggest thing about a photoshoot that gets me the most anxious. I watch it like a HAWK for at least one week prior to the day of the shoot, and on days where it might rain, I panic. Steve + Chris celebrated their one year anniversary as a married couple, and I had the honor to capture their love in their new city. But the weather switched to rain by the end of the week, and we didn’t have a rain date, so we had to just go with it. I lined up at Target at 7:50am before Kyle and I drove to Philly, and bought one of those cute clear umbrellas (pictured) and it was my favorite accessory of the shoot. We (Kyle) drove around Philly, and I photographed Steve + Chris around some beautiful backdrops. The weather gave a certain mood to the photos that played a HUGE role on how much I LOVED them. This couple, this city, and this set all in all was just perfect.
