We were very excited to have the opportunity to head back north to photograph Samantha and Sal’s Philadelphia wedding at Hotel Palomar in Center City. You might remember Samantha and Sal from their Philadelphia engagement session at the Philadelphia Art Museum last fall and we loved having the pleasure of visiting them again for their wedding day in a city that we all love. It was also a special experience for Melissa as she and Samantha have know each other since their early college years at Temple University and it was really fun to catch up with so many old friends that she had not seen in years.
Samantha and Sal were married on the top floor of the Hotel Palomar surrounded by their close friends and family. Throughout the ceremony, Samantha and Sal included special touches focusing on family including having Samantha’s mother presiding over the ceremony, Sal’s daughter sharing a reading for the couple, and Samantha sharing vows she wrote for his daughter. After a quick room flip, guests enjoyed a night of dining, dancing, and definitely some Photo Booth fun.
