Recently, we had the privilege of documenting Winchell and John’s wedding day, a celebration that beautifully blended tradition, culture, and modern flair. Here’s a glimpse into their unforgettable day!
The morning began at the Element Hotel in Downtown Philadelphia, where Winchell and John prepared to embark on their journey to forever. Amidst the laughter and excitement, we captured the intricate details – from Winchell’s elegant dress and John’s sharp tuxedo to the carefully chosen accessories and sentimental items that adorned their spaces.
Though traditional in many aspects, Winchell and John opted for a modern twist with a first look session. While they didn’t share this moment with each other, Winchell shared a heartfelt moment with her father, a touching moment before the ceremony that awaited.
At the Christ Our Light Catholic Church in Cherry Hill, NJ, family and friends gathered to witness Winchell and John exchange vows. The ceremony, steeped in Filipino traditions, was a testament to their heritage and commitment to one another. From the exchange of coins symbolizing prosperity to the unity candle ceremony signifying the merging of their lives, every moment was steeped in meaning and love.
The Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia set the stage for an evening of joy and celebration. As Winchell and John made their grand entrance, their infectious energy filled the room, setting the tone for the festivities ahead. From heartfelt speeches by loved ones to choreographed dance numbers and interactive elements like the t-shirt toss, every moment was filled with laughter and love.
As Winchell and John danced the night away surrounded by their loved ones, it was clear that their journey together was just beginning. We were privileged to witness and document the start of their new chapter, filled with love, laughter, and a deep appreciation for tradition and family.
In the end, Winchell and John’s wedding was more than just a celebration – it was a reflection of their love, values, and the vibrant tapestry of their lives coming together in perfect harmony. And as they embark on this new adventure as husband and wife, their photographs will serve as a timeless reminder of the love that binds them together.
Thank you for a wonderful wedding!
