UNION  LEAGUE  WEDDING

first look with family

A tender pause with the ones who stood beside her long before this day

Before stepping into the whirlwind of celebration, Autumn shared first looks with her brother and father inside the Union League’s library—simple, emotional moments where everything else seemed to pause. Surrounded by the quiet of the room, their reactions were filled with tenderness and love, a reminder that family is at the heart of days like this. And once the moment settled, it was time for Autumn and her dad to head to the ceremony in the Union League’s vintage caddy—a meaningful pause in the day that felt special in its own way.

Wedding Ceremony at
 the Church of the Gesu

Sacred vows beneath Philadelphia’s breathtaking cathedral light

The Church of the Gesu offered a setting that felt almost cinematic—soaring ceilings, stained glass that washed the space in quiet color, and the gravity that only historic Philadelphia churches can hold. As Autumn walked down the aisle toward Vince, the entire room stilled. Their ceremony unfolded with reverence and warmth, and the echoes of their vows seemed to linger long after the recessional.

Editorial and Effortlessly Timeless Portraits with the Couple

A refined blend of elegance, movement, and modern romance

Following the ceremony, Autumn and Vince slipped into a pocket of calm for their portraits—moments that leaned into editorial composition while still feeling exactly like them. We caught the last bits of daylight outside the church, creating a few quiet frames with the vintage caddy before evening settled in. As the city lights came up, we continued with a handful of nighttime portraits on Broad Street and finished on the Union League’s grand staircase. The textures of the city, the soft October air, and their easy connection created imagery that felt both deeply personal and elevated.

COCKTAIL HOUR

Laughter, clinking glasses, and the soft glow of celebration beginning

Guests gathered for cocktail hour inside the Union League, filling the rooms with warm conversation and the steady build of excitement for the evening ahead. It was a smooth transition into the celebration—people connecting, glasses clinking, and the first moments of the night unfolding with an easy, elegant energy.
