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! 🥂

“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!”

“Gabriella is the BEST photographer and needless to say she went above and beyond our expectations! She was hired by my fiancé for our surprise proposal and she did a phenomenal job at capturing every single detail of it. She made our lives easy by understanding us, our personality, the way we wanted to be captured and she did just that! From showing us every beautiful inch of Longwood gardens to telling us about different poses to capturing the beauty and essence of nature! She made my dream come true with these beautiful pictures. We spent 2 hrs with her and there was sign of rush of ending the session and it was more like whatever we felt in the moment which is what I truly enjoyed. She sent us our sneak peak pictures the day off just several hours later and needless to say not only did our jaws dropped but every single person who viewed those pics while asking who the photographer was! We proudly share her information with every member of our family and friends because she truly deserves the best❤️ Thank you Gabriella for capturing the most beautiful and intimate moments of ours and We can’t wait to work with you again!”

“Gabriella captured our special moments perfectly! She photographed our proposal, Holud night before the wedding, and wedding day. She was very easy to work with and always communicative and responsive. She was able to handle a 300 person wedding with ease and always got the shot. I've only seen the sneak peek from our wedding weekend but I am already in love with the pictures. She truly captured the joy and happiness of the weekend through her photos, which I will treasure forever. She is also just a genuinely kind person, which makes working with her even better :) Highly recommend.”
