Paul + Kate | Philadelphia Wedding Photographer

Paul and Kate picked a historic mansion in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia to have their intimate Quaker wedding this past Fall. Kate handled all the decorating and brought in a great caterer who had to work without a kitchen! Laurel Hill Mansion is preserved very well.

I had never been to a Quaker wedding so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The guests started arriving, then Kate and Paul made their appearance. Everyone was so excited to see them. They were both just glowing. The Quaker wedding is very laid back. Before they speak the vows that they wrote, the guests are invited to speak on their behalf. There were so many wonderful sentiments and stories. It really added such strong vibe of happiness and love. The entire ceremony felt so genuine.

Since both Paul and Kate had been married before they were more interested in family portraits, but I just couldn’t be at the ceremony without capturing as much as I could. So here are some of my favorites from the event. Enjoy!
