Water Works Engine House Wedding in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Julianne & Jared

A cozy fur shawl, snow white flowers, and a cranberry ginger mule signature cocktail were some of the seasonal touches at Julianne and Jared’s winter Water Works Engine House wedding. However, the celebration was far from a typical January day. After getting ready at The Logan Hotel in Philadelphia, Julianne and her bridesmaids stepped out into the unseasonably warm 68 degree day to take the charming Cescaphe Trolley to the ceremony.

Dressed in a stunning, fitted lace Maggie Sottero gown, Julianne was smiling ear to ear walking down the aisle at St. Augustine’s Church. After exchanging vows, we explored a few areas to capture their stunning wedding portraits. We headed towards the Art Museum, Center City Skyline, and Schuylkill River, which provided a stunning backdrop. That’s part of the beauty of a Water Works wedding—no matter the time of year, you’re surrounded by breathtaking views in a truly picturesque National Historic Landmark.

Floating candles and white flower buds in gold-speckled vases sprinkled the rectangular tables at their elegant reception. Inside the Engine House at Water Works, a vintage crystal chandelier offered a romantic and nostalgic touch in the intimate ballroom. The romance continued with white rose petals swirling in the air thrown by guests during the couple’s first dance.

I loved seeing Julianne and Jared’s personalities radiate throughout the reception. They had a humorously worded “Dance Floor Rules” sign on display nearby that instructed everyone to “dance like no one is watching!” An adorable illustration of their golden retriever, Tyson, was also on display to pay tribute to their fur-baby who couldn’t attend. Tyson was also the name of their signature, seasonal cocktail-a delicious cranberry ginger mule! However, the live wedding painter capturing the evening on canvas as it unfolded was my favorite detail! I am sure that their gorgeous painting will be a memento they will always treasure. They planned every last detail themselves, resulting in a celebration that was truly personal, beautiful, and magical.
