A bride and groom look at each other after sharing a first look in front of their wedding venue, Renaissance Hotel Philadelphia.

Summer Wedding at Renaissance Hotel Philadelphia

What an absolute honor it was to be a part of Alexa and Connor’s wedding at Renaissance Hotel Philadelphia! From the sweet moments to the incredible people, their celebration was overflowing with love, joy, and warmth.

The Best Man & Maid of Honor: Best Friends and More

One of the sweetest details of Alexa and Connor’s wedding was the choice of their best man and maid of honor. This husband-and-wife duo are some of their closest friends from the city. Hearing them speak about their deep friendship with Alexa and Connor during their toasts was incredibly moving. It added such a special layer to the day.

Battling the Heat, But Never the Spirits

The heat was real – I was drenched in sweat all day (and I can’t imagine what the guys were feeling in their suits!). But the weather didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits! The entire day was filled with laughter, smiles, and energy, despite the soaring temperatures. Alexa and Connor’s friends and family were so full of joy that it was impossible not to get caught up in the excitement!

The Stained Glass Moment

Alexa and Connor had one special request for their portraits: they dreamed of having photos in front of the beautiful stained glass windows at their church. Those windows certainly did not disappoint. The light streaming through created a magical, almost ethereal glow, making for some of the most stunning portraits of the day.

College Friends Reunited

One of the best parts of any wedding is the reunion of old friends, and Alexa and Connor’s wedding was no exception. After some beautiful couples’ portraits before their wedding reception at Renaissance Hotel, Connor came running over, excitement written all over his face. “All of our college friends are right over there! Could we get a picture with them?” Ummmmm YES! So we grabbed both a regular photo and a polaroid with their awesome college crew!

A Love That Speaks Volumes

Connor and Alexa’s love for one another was evident in every single glance. The way they looked at each other, with so much tenderness and adoration, spoke volumes. There’s something incredibly beautiful about watching two people who are so clearly meant to be together, and it was an honor to capture those moments throughout the day.

Incredible Humans Inside and Out

Not only are Alexa and Connor incredibly kind-hearted individuals, but they’ve also done some truly extraordinary things together. Both have participated in mission trips around the world, with Alexa using her medical expertise to provide free healthcare to people in need. It’s clear they’re both committed to making the world a better place, one selfless act at a time.

From start to finish, Alexa and Connor’s wedding was a day to remember, full of laughter, love, and beautiful moments. It was truly an honor to document such an amazing couple as they embarked on this new chapter of their lives. Wishing them a lifetime of happiness, adventure, and unforgettable memories!

Cheers to Alexa and Connor! 🥂

“Hiring Gabriella as our photographer was the single best decision we made on wedding day. Because we had an intimate elopement at town hall, it was important to us to capture the small details and intimate moments in a way that we could look back on our day and feel like we are reliving it. Well, Gabriella’s work does just that. She exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier with our gallery. She gave updates and clear expectations along the way so that we were never left wondering what next steps were, and was timely with getting sneak peaks and the full gallery back to us. We are an introverted couple who is not used to being in front of the camera, and Gabriella was super patient and made us feel at ease throughout the whole day. Her communication style is to be seriously commended. She also went above and beyond to scope out of the venue and found the perfect spot for us to do our private vows in. We don’t have a single negative thing to say about our experience. If you are considering working with Gabriella for your special day, do it!!

We LOVED working with Gabriella for our Wedding photography! From our first video call, she made us feel totally at ease about the whole process, and it was clear she had a ton of experience. We do not consider ourselves very photogenic, but Gabriella got AMAZING pictures from our Wedding and an Engagement shoot. She’s fun, friendly, professional, and everything you need in a Wedding photographer (or for any other event). Cannot recommend her highly enough!

“Gabriella is the BEST photographer and we could not have asked for anyone better to capture our proposal! I had intentions of interviewing multiple photographers, but after seeing her work and talking to her over the phone, I immediately booked with her. Her passion for photography is so evident. She goes above and beyond to make your shoot about YOU. She does a great job of taking control and guiding you with poses that you will love, and her candid shots are unbelievable. She had a smile on her face the entire time and we felt like a close friend was there doing this for us. Would recommend her 100 times out of 100!

Gabriella was absolutely amazing. She made the photography session so easy and effortless. Her personality is so warm and inviting, she made us feel so so comfortable during these pictures. Gabriella went above and beyond for us and I’m so grateful my significant other found her as a photographer. I would highly recommend!”
