Emily & Sean’s Philadelphia wedding at The W Hotel was absolutely beautiful. From a captivating first look on the rooftop surrounded by skyscrapers to a romantic portrait session in historic Old City, culminating in a heartfelt indoor ceremony and an exuberant reception in the hotel’s opulent ballroom, every moment was filled with joy, love, and memories that will last a lifetime.
The day started with the couple getting ready in the guest suites at the hotel. The views from the balcony paired with the modern decor in the suites were the perfect backdrop. The couple decided to have their first look on the rooftop of the W Hotel. With the Philadelphia skyline as their backdrop, the skyscrapers seemed to echo the magnitude of their love. As Sean turned around, his face lit up when he saw Emily. The moment was so pure and sweet, we love how the portraits turned out!
After, we ventured into the historic streets of Old City for a romantic portrait session. With charming architecture and vibrant greenery, this part of the city is a picturesque backdrop, adding a touch of timeless elegance to their gallery. Later, family and friends gathered in the W Hotel’s elegant indoor ceremony space. Soft hues of pastel and floral accents adorned the aisle, leading to a beautifully decorated altar where the couple exchanged their heartfelt vows.
The celebration continued as the newlyweds and their guests moved to the hotel’s grand ballroom for an unforgettable reception. The ballroom, adorned with chandeliers, romantic candles and exquisite table settings, radiated elegance and sophistication. The couple’s entrance was so special. The two had the biggest smiles on their faces as they were surrounded by the love and support of their loved ones. Throughout the evening, laughter and joy echoed in the room, with heartfelt toasts, delicious food, and lively dancing, creating memories that will be cherished forever.
