A simple DM led to me photographing Lexi + Kevin’s Old City Philly elopement. Lexi sent me a note asking about photographing their elopement, and I got so excited to hear more about their day. We set up a video call, talked all things puppers and wedding day, and hit it off in the best way. Being welcomed into your wedding day is always so flattering, so you know I couldn’t wait for this Philadelphia microwedding to get here!
In the heart of the city, Lexi and Kevin have their apartment with their adorable dog. They knew they wanted to get married in the city they love so much and spend the afternoon taking portraits in all their favorite places. One thing I hope catches on is couples getting ready together. It makes the morning so very special and lets you enjoy the full day together. Not to mention, they had their sweet pup with them, so my heart was bursting at the seams.
We did a few fun portraits on their balcony before heading off to Merchant’s Exchange Building for their ceremony. They had their closest 12 families members join their ceremony and it was truly the perfect intimate ceremony. Old City was a beautiful backdrop for their nupitals!
And of course my favorite part, couples portraits! Lexi and Kevin scouted out some beautiful locations that really spoke to them as a couple. We traversed the city to hit all their spots and I’m OBSESSEDDDD with all their beautiful portraits. Their first ones at Merchant’s Exchange are probably my favorites, they are just a stunning couple and really showed off how in love they are.
I’d love to photograph more incredible wedding days like this one. Enjoy some favorties from Lexi + Kevin’s Old city Philly elopement!!
