Our Faith West Associate Ryan joined Carolyn and Andrew for a lovely day in and around Philadelphia. The bride and groom got ready for their big day at the ultra-cool Hotel Monaco, and from there headed over to the 2nd Bank Building so that they could see each other for the first time! This “reveal” is always such a special and touching moment. We as photographers are so honored to be able to capture it; especially because our couples usually say they forget we were even there. It makes me swoon every time!
After some great photos there, we made a quick stop at the Art Museum for those iconic step pictures. Finally, everyone was ready to meet at the Horticulture Center, part of the Fairmount Park Conservancy, for the main event.
After signing the ketubah and a beautiful, personal marriage ceremony, Carolyn and Andrew’s guests dined on spectacular food from Starr Events, before dancing the night away under the stars to the tunes of the Rich Posmontier Band. JKG Floral designed a wonderful compliment to the lush surroundings of the Horticulture Center, and overall we’d just call this wedding magical!
Carolyn and Andrew, thanks so much for having us be a part of your big day, I hope you had as much fun with Ryan as he had with you! Everyone, come share the love for these two on their Facebook album as well!

This wedding was so cool! The bride, Esha’s, heritage was celebrated with a Hindu ceremony, while Kevin grew up in different countries and went to college at Cambridge. So an international bridal party and guests from Hong Kong to the U.K. and Australia all gathered in Newark, Delaware, to be a part of this special day.
The Hindu ceremony began with Kevin arriving in a white limo decorated with flowers, in keeping with Bengali tradition, and Esha was carried in on an Indian “doli”. This celebration was followed by a Western civil ceremony that I found so touching and personal. Kevin’s sister, Jennie, officiated, and friends read poems.
Following that, everyone enjoyed a huge party featuring entertainment by Boston band Now and the Forevers, and on their breaks Indian dance club music was played and the crowd just went wild again, even lifting the bride and groom up on their shoulders at one point! It was incredibly fun just to watch, not to mention for the guests!
Carina from Remember This Day Events deserves a special shout-out. She handled the bride and groom’s clothing changes and the quick change of scenery from Hindu to Western ceremonies, which took place in the same room, with ease and grace. She was just remarkable to work with, a real joy.
The florist, Mallavika Shah of Contemporary Collections and Finesse Florals, also did a wonderful job with an exceptionally quick turnover of the room between ceremonies to create the beautiful scene you see for the Western civil ceremony in record time.
And, as always, the staff at the Deerfield Country Club also deserve high marks for their impeccable service, and the Indian cuisine catered by The Palace at the Ben was absolutely incredible.
Although there are many photos here, we still have more to share! Check them out here on our Real Weddings page. Plus, join us in sending lots of love to Esha and Kevin on Facebook.

I lucky enough to be invited by Feast Your Eyes Catering to photograph their quarterly tasting at their spectacular loft facility near Northern Liberties last week. I got to meet some wonderful couples and the food was fantastic – it made me wish I could do this every week! Almost 200 people who are considering using the space for their weddings or bar/bat mitzvahs enjoyed the beautiful presentation and delicious treats.
One of the most unique aspects of the tasting was FYE‘ new “flights”, special combinations of hors d’oeuvres and small drinks. How cute are those tiny tequila bottles?!
Additionally, Feast Your Eyes just added a new, white mobile bar to the loft, increasing the hip, modern appeal of the space. We were even greeted at the end of the night with a grilled cheese cart near the door. The standard comfort food was given a modern twist by using cheeses such as provolone and pecorino, and it might have been my favorite part!
The unique look of the space, plus the spectacular tables, candles and other decor, was designed and provided by the always-fabulous Evantine Design. The lighting was created by the exciting, up-and-coming company Synergetic Sound & Lighting. The varied and lively music, including a peppy re-do of klezmer music, was provided by Ken Ulansey Ensemble. All food and drink was of course created by Feast Your Eyes Catering, who host events in this unique space. Photography was provided by the best photographer in Philadelphia, Faith West Photography!
