ROSIE & ROB’S READING TERMINAL MARKET WEDDING IN PHILADELPHIA, PA.
WELCOME TO ROSIE & ROB’S LOVE STORY.
THIS WEDDING WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE’S TO DATE. IF YOU COULD TAKE ANYTHING ANY FROM THIER STORY, REMEMBER TO INFUSE PERSONALITY INTO YOUR DAY.
WEDDING VENUES & SPACES.
WHEN BEGINNING THE SEARCH FOR WEDDING VENUES, LOOK INTO THE UNIQUE SPACES, THE OVERLOOKED SPACES, THE SPACES THAT MAY NOT EVEN BE ADVERTISED AS WEDDING VENUES. REMEMBER, THERE ARE NO RULES. IT’S YOUR WEDDING AND WE’RE HERE TO CELEBRATE YOUR UNION.
DO YOUR FIRST LOOK IN THE COFFEE SHOP YOU MET AT.
GET READY IN A BOUTIQUE HOTEL YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO STAY.
HAVE THE CEREMONY IN YOUR CHILDHOOD HOME.
OR HAVE YOUR DANCE PARTY IN READING TERMINAL MARKET.
HOW WILD THAT, JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE I SHOWED UP, I WAS BUYING BREAKFAST AND MY MORNING COLD BREW IN AN ICONIC PHILADELPHIA STAPLE & NOT EVEN 12 HOURS LATER I WAS PARTYING IT UP WITH THE BRIDE AND GROOM IN THE SAME SPACE THAT WAS JUST SHOULDER-TOO-SHOULDER.
THIS READING TERMINAL MARKET RECEPTION WAS ONE FOR THE BOOKS, AND WITH THEIR CEREMONY AT THE CENTER FOR DESIGN RIGHT DOWNTOWN, THIS DAY WAS FULL OF UNIQUE SPACES THAT KEPT THE GUESTS ON THEIR TOES.
Photography Insight: Rosie and Rob had a large celebration that spanned across 5 different and very unique shooting locations and included all of their friends and family. Their photographer packages included 2 photographers and an assistant, 10 hours of coverage, with film and polaroids.
“I’m SO happy I went with Alana! She was incredible to work with, easy to talk to, and produced a beautiful end product! She was very professional, punctual, and had a fast turn around time. She also humored us when my husband asked her to stay a little longer as she was leaving to take pictures of us getting lifted off the dance floor! To say the photos turned out beautifully is an understatement! I would recommend her to anyone who wants unique and timeless photos!!”
Rosie + Rob
THEIR FIRST LOOK & PORTRAITS AT RACE STREET PIER.
THE CEREMONY AT THE CENTER FOR ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN. A BLANK SLATE. WHICH I LOVE. HAVE YOUR CEREMONY IN A ‘BLANK SLATE’.
WHEN TOURING VENUES, SPECIFICALLY CEREMONY SPACES, BE SURE TO KEEP THESE QUESTIONS IN MIND.
HOW’S THE LIGHTING, IS THERE NATURAL LIGHT FROM WINDOWS, OR IS IT RELATIVELY DARK WITH FLUORESCENT LIGHTS?
IS THERE ENOUGH SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE ALL OF OUR GUESTS COMFORTABLY? WILL THE PHOTOGRAPHER HAVE ACCESS TO ALL PARTS OF THE ROOM OR WILL IT BE TOO FULL/HAVE LIMITED ACCESS?
ARE THE ACOUSTICS OKAY? WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE IN THE SPACE?
HOW’S THE SHAPE OF THE SPACE? DOES IT HAVE FENG SHUI OR DOES IT FEEL AWKWARD?
IF IT’S OUTDOORS, WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS? SOMETHING NO ONE LIKES TO THINK ABOUT UNTIL THE FORECAST CALLS FOR RAIN. IS THERE A BACKUP OPTION FOR THE CEREMONY THAT I LOVE JUST AS MUCH?
ALL OF THESE FACTORS WILL NOT ONLY IMPACT HOW YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER CAN PHOTOGRAPH THE CEREMONY BUT ALSO THE GUEST EXPERIENCE AND FEELING OF CEREMONY.
IMAGINE HAVING THE ICONIC READING TERMINAL MARKET HOST YOUR COCKTAIL HOUR, RECEPTION & DANCE PARTY! THE VIBES WERE FUNKY, THE FASHION WAS ORIGINAL & THE FOOD WAS OBVIOUSLY OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD.
THIS EVENING WAS THE CELEBRATION OF THE YEAR.
& THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
THE END, BUT NOT FOR YOU. DID THIS STORY SPARK INSPIRATION? I’D LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LOVE STORY AND CREATE A WEDDING PACKAGE & ALBUM CUSTOM TO YOUR STORY.
