The Bellevue Hotel Philadelphia | Kristen + AJ

Today, we celebrate the beautiful love story of Kristen and AJ on their wedding anniversary! It’s hard to believe that it has already been a year since I had the absolute pleasure of capturing their special day. As a wedding photographer, I often find myself reflecting on the unique moments that make each celebration unforgettable, and Kristen and AJ’s wedding was certainly no exception.

I had the honor of photographing Kristen’s sister, Nicole, a few years ago, and when Kristen reached out to me to document her own wedding, I felt truly honored. It’s always a special feeling to be invited back into a family’s most cherished moments, and Kristen and AJ’s wedding was a stunning continuation of that legacy.

From the very start, everything about their day was perfection. Kristen looked absolutely breathtaking in her Galia Lahav wedding gown, which flowed beautifully as she walked down the aisle. The intricate lace details and the elegant silhouette were a testament to her impeccable taste and style. The ceremony took place at the historic National Shrine of Saint Rita of Cascia. There were so many emotions in the air, with heartfelt tears of joy streaming down the faces of family and friends as they witnessed the couple exchange their vows.

After the ceremony, the celebration continued at The Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia. This venue, known for its elegance and charm, was transformed into a magical space filled with beautiful decor and floral arrangements crafted by the talented team at Carl Alan Floral Designs.

The energy in the room during the reception was palpable, thanks to the incredible music provided by the Eddie Bruce Band. They had everyone on their feet, dancing and celebrating the newlyweds all night long. It was a joy to capture the laughter, the tears of happiness, and the unforgettable moments that unfolded during the celebration.

As I look back on Kristen and AJ’s wedding day, I am filled with gratitude for being part of such a significant moment in their lives. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and the promise of forever. Happy anniversary, Kristen and AJ! May your love continue to grow and flourish, just as it did on that beautiful day. Here’s to many more years of happiness together!
