how the day began

A morning humming with laughter and anticipation

Morning preparations took place at the Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown Hotel, where soft October light filtered through the windows and family moved in and out with calm familiarity. Marin’s gown—an Ines Di Santo design embroidered with florals—set the tone early: expressive, romantic, and anything but restrained. Noah gifted her Golden Goose sneakers personalized with her new name and wedding date, a detail that felt both playful and meaningful from the very start.

First Look at the Second Bank

A pause before the celebration begins.

Outside the Second Bank of the United States, Marin and Noah shared their first look as the city quietly moved around them. Rain misted the stone steps, umbrellas hovered just out of frame, and nothing about the moment felt rushed. They were already on cloud nine—laughing, holding hands, fully present with each other.
With the rain lifting and returning in waves, the wedding party gathered at the Merchants' Exchange Building. Bridesmaids in varied pastel tones—pink, lilac, blue—brought softness and individuality, while the group’s energy filled the street. The images from this time feel alive: unposed, colorful, and effortlessly joyful.

Jewish Wedding Ceremony at Union Trust

Floral vibrancy beneath
a sculptural chuppah

The ceremony space was transformed by an abundant chuppah built from fall leaves and branches, layered with the most delicate blooms in blush, pink, orange, yellow, and soft greens. It felt immersive and intentional—an echo of the couple’s floral-forward vision and Marin’s embroidered gown. As vows were spoken and the room filled with warmth, the rain outside became irrelevant. Everything that mattered was already there.

COCKTAIL HOUR

Connection in every corner

Guests flowed through Union Trust as candlelight flickered and conversation swelled. There was laughter everywhere—friends reconnecting, glasses raised, the first hints of the night’s momentum building. The energy never dipped; it simply shifted gears.

Wedding Reception at Union Trust

Candlelit tables and a room in motion

The reception unfolded beneath a glow of candles and wildflower centerpieces, delicate yet abundant. Marin changed into a shorter floral sequin dress—effortless and celebratory—ready for the dance floor. From the first entrance on, the room pulsed with movement. Marin and Noah were fully in it, surrounded by the people who know them best, joy spilling outward without restraint.

Dancing Into the Night

An unfiltered celebration, full hearts, and a room alive with joy

The reception unfolded beneath a warm wash of candlelight, with tables dressed in delicate wildflower centerpieces that felt both intentional and effortlessly organic. The energy in the room was immediate—guests on their feet, laughter spilling across the floor, and Marin and Noah fully immersed in the moment. There was nothing staged or restrained here, just genuine celebration and movement, carried by music, connection, and the unmistakable feeling that everyone in the room wanted the night to last as long as possible.

AFTER PARTY

McDonald’s, custom hats, and a night that refused to slow down.

As the evening turned into night, the celebration shifted gears. Marin reemerged in a shorter floral sequin dress—playful, radiant, and made for dancing—paired with her custom Golden Goose sneakers embroidered with her new name and wedding date. Guests were met with a surprise McDonald’s spread and custom hats stitched with The Goldstein Standard, a final nod to the couple’s sense of humor and love for doing things their own way. The dance floor stayed packed, the energy never dipped, and the night closed exactly as it began—full-hearted, vibrant, and completely true to Marin and Noah.
