A Chic and Modern New Years Eve Wedding - Philadelphia Wedding Photographer

There are wedding days you wish you could rewind and relive again and again, and this was undeniably one of them. I have a feeling they’d wholeheartedly agree. What makes a celebration unforgettable isn’t perfection for perfection’s sake. It’s when a day feels unmistakably like you. Around here, infusing your personalities and style into every detail isn’t optional, it’s essential. The experience you have on your wedding day shapes the way I capture it. You get to live it fully: to laugh, to lean in, to taste it, feel it, and be entirely yourselves while it all unfolds.

Two lives already in motion stepped forward together, celebrated across chic, modern suites at the W Philadelphia Hotel and into a night that felt equal parts intimate and electric. The day moved with intention and ease, a heartfelt ceremony filled with misty eyes and wide smiles, followed by dirty caviar martinis, kisses in elevator doors just before they closed, champagne popping, and a dance floor that stayed full until the very last song. As the night carried on, fireworks glowed over the city from the rooftop, marking not only a new year but the beginning of something beautifully shared.

Throughout it all, I moved with the rhythm of the room. A mix of gently guided portraits and unscripted moments allowed the story to unfold honestly. I stepped in when direction elevated the narrative and stepped back when the moment spoke for itself, because that balance is where the most genuine images live. The result is a gallery that feels both editorial and deeply personal. Refined, but never forced. True to them.

We rang in the New Year with two beautiful souls and the people who love them most. They looked incredible from start to finish, but more than that, they felt incredible. Present, joyful, and completely themselves. It was an absolute honor to witness and capture a love story that felt this effortless, this intentional, and this alive.
