Crystal and Justin wanted something small, yet elegant. If you’re looking for a lovely, intimate wedding, look no further than XIX Restaurant at the Bellevue in Philadelphia. It’s truly one of my favorite places to shoot, and the space is spectacular for a small wedding. Weddings at XIX Restaurant at the Bellevue have that big city feel in a very intimate setting. Some of the images below were taken in Washington Square park, and also around the Philadelphia City Hall area as well. Here are a few from their day!

I really enjoy shooting on the avenue of the arts in the evening with Philadelphia City hall in the background to put an exclamation point on the end of a great day
