Rachel and Stephen’s summer engagement at Merchants’ Exchange and the 2nd Bank of the United States in Old City, Philadelphia, was nothing short of magical. We explored two of the city’s most iconic locations capturing timeless moments against breathtaking backdrops.
Rachel looked stunning in a classic white sleeveless dress, the perfect bridal look for their summer session. Stephen added a stylish contrast in a faded metallic blue suit, which popped beautifully against the historic stonework, red brick, and lush summer greenery. Their elegant outfits elevated the already romantic feel of the shoot.
Summer Engagement at Merchants’ Exchange
Old City offers some of the best engagement session locations in Philadelphia. The Merchants Exchange Building, with its grand columns and cobblestone streets, exudes European charm. The area is filled with hidden gems, including 18th Century gardens, Carpenter’s Hall, the First Bank of the United States, and Benjamin Rush Gardens. Every corner provides a unique and picturesque setting.
The Second Bank of the United States stands out as one of the city’s most breathtaking locations. Its carved marble columns and stately steps create a dramatic and sophisticated backdrop. Rachel and Stephen embraced the elegance of the space, sharing quiet moments that felt both intimate and grand.
These two will say “I do” this December at The Estate at Florentine Gardens. If their engagement session is any indication, their wedding will be nothing short of incredible!
