RENEE AND FRANCOIS | PHILADELPHIA FREE LIBRARY WEDDING

Center City Philadelphia will never be the same. From now on, it
 will be known as the place where Renee and Francois lit up the night sky with
 love letters. Huge white letters spelling out the word LOVE set the perfect
 backdrop for the nuptials of this beautiful couple. It’s a first for the city
 and singularly fitting for this couple who’s wedding day was a day of first
 looks and delightful surprises. From the wedding prep at the Logan Hotel
 Hotel, to the ceremony at the Free Library, the first looks, first smiles, and first tingles of excitement never ended. The bride honored her parents by wearing their wedding rings as
 part of her bouquet. The bridesmaid’s bouquets were personalized with ribbons
 and quotes to Renee.
 

“I asked my bridesmaids for quotes that were meaningful to them.
 They had no idea what they were for, and naturally, they gave me quotes from
 their own weddings, wedding songs, readings, or important parts of their lives.
 I then had a calligrapher write the quotes on ribbons for each bridesmaid to
 carry with them,” explained Renee.

Renee and Francois’ wedding was also one of amazing surprises.
 Not only did Renee and Francois have a first look, she surprised her
 bridesmaids with their own first look as well and surprised Francois with a
 wedding gift of a new watch. In a surprising twist, Renee also surprised
 Francois and his family by reciting a portion of her vows in French. Imagine
 the pride this brought to Francois and the joy it brought to Francois’ family,
 many of whom traveled from France to witness the ceremony and celebration.

Renee and Francois will love looking back on these and other
 moments like the bridesmaids carrying Renee’s train and the groomsmen’s
 pre-wedding toast to Francois. From the montage of last engaged kiss to first
 nuptial kiss at the altar, we didn’t miss a thing. All in all, this was an
 amazingly beautiful wedding.

The reception was full of toasts and tears as the guests
 rejoiced with the couple. Renee’s brother even made a poignant point of
 including their late father in the ceremony. Her maid of honor and Francois’
 best man kept the crowd laughing and wiping away tears of joy. The bouquet toss
 and the cake cutting – where Francois playfully swiped the bride’s nose with
 frosting – to the private champagne toast the couple shared on the rooftop in
 front of those love letters, nothing was left out of the wedding and reception
 – and we captured it all.
