Share

Happy couple smiling on their wedding day outdoors

There are few things more beautiful than those perfect September evenings, but bride Emily put those to shame on her beautiful wedding day in Philadelphia. From getting ready in the city, with a beautiful skyline backdrop for her wedding preparations in a Pronovias gown to die for, to her quaint first look with fiancée Shane Mullin in historic old city Philadelphia, it was a metropolitan night of glamour for the books. Make sure to check out the full gallery at the bottom of this page, after scrolling through to see incredible photography of this wedding event by Emily Wren Photography, featuring florals by Belovely Design, planning and design by Jamie Hollander Gourmet, vibes by Lovesick Inc., and filmography by Wren Films.

A Unique Venue

The unique element of this couple’s wedding day took the shape of the Glen Foerd on the Delaware – a local venue that boasts private, wooded charm along the Delaware River. This venue brought an intimate element to their day just outside city limits.

The Color Palette

The couple’s special day was bursting with color in the form of bright pink hurricane candles and citrus colored florals from Belovely Design. The radiance of the decor only served to accent the energy bursting from the seams love-filled and exuberant day, that began with a tear-jerking first look and ended with a laughter-filled reception.
