THIS PHILADELPHIA TEMPLE SUMMER WEDDING WAS SUCH A JOY TO BE APART OF!

What a beautiful Philadelphia Temple wedding! Lydia, Larry, and their families were so much fun to get to know. From the our first greeting to the goodbyes in the parking lot, this wedding was full of smiles, celebration and love!

Lydia and her family are from New Jersey and together (with Larry) they picked the Philadelphia Temple to be sealed in. Most temple weddings on the East coast require travel. Because of this, it’s not uncommon to have a unique timeline where I only photograph the temple part. Afterwards, they were heading back to New Jersey for a reception.
I met Lydia and Larry’s families for the first time after their sealing. But, I felt like I knew them forever! That might scare some people, but for me it’s normal. It feels like being around my own family. Temple weddings signify the start of a forever family for the bride and groom. After the sealing, all of the family and guests gathered to celebrate them as they exited the front doors.  

The blue sky appeared just in time for family pictures!

Earlier in the day the skies were grey and storms were threatening. However, the most beautiful blue sky appeared just in time for family pictures! The sky matched the wedding colors. Unreal! Scroll down to see!

THE PHILADELPHIA TEMPLE IS SUCH A MAGNIFICENT STRUCTURE

I am falling in love with this tempe more and more with each visit! These two picked the classiest and most magnificent temple to start their marriage and I was honored to be able to capture the start of their beautiful forever!

Thank you Lydia and Larry for having me! You two are perfect for each other. You have a genuine love for each other and it brought the biggest smile to my face. It was a joy getting to know you both and celebrate your day. I wish you an eternity of love and happiness!
