Franklin Institute Wedding – Philadelphia PA

Allison & Mike had an elegant, downtown Franklin Institute Wedding in Philadelphia PA. This stunning and unconventional museum reception space is definitely a Philadelphia favorite.

Getting Ready at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

Both the bride and groom got ready for their day at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, convenient for their day festivities. I love Allison’s tasteful and sparkly details. Check out her especially stunning Justin Alexander wedding dress. Allison was a vision of grace and beauty on her day!

Wedding Ceremony at St. Francis Xavier Church

Their church wedding ceremony was at the grand St. Francis Xavier. After family formals, we headed out with the newlyweds and bridal party for photos around the city.

The Rodin Museum has exquisite outside space. I love the landscaping and architecture. Great location for center city weddings.

After a few more couples portraits on the majestic museum steps, it was time to head inside to their chic reception to rejoice with their guests! The uplighting and reception decor was absolutely beautiful. The high arching ceiling, lovely table arrangement and generous dance floor created the a welcoming layout for a grand time.
