Last weekend, I photographed Angelique and Mike’s Fairmount Water Works Wedding in Philadelphia, PA. They had a beautiful Spring day for their modern and classic wedding. My happy couple had an action packed morning getting ready at the Lowes Hotel, followed by a traditional ceremony at Annunciation BVM Church, gorgeous portraits in Olde City and a LIVELY reception at Fairmount Water Works. This group never left the dance floor except to take some gorgeous sunset portraits! Their day was filled with tons of personal touches – they read their own vows, we photographed Mike and Ang at the Merchant Exchange Building, where they were engaged, they included their dogs in portraits at both the hotel and venue and Mike even had a custom jacket that had a portrait of their dogs on the inside! Angelique also wore her late father’s necklace to honor him.
Ang knew Mike was the one at the age of 16. Her father passed away in June of 2010, and Mike was there for her throughout that time period and they started dating shortly after. Coincidentally, Mike says he knew at the same exact time that Ang was the one. In the years before her father’s passing, they were just friends who had crushes on each other, but something changed that summer and he knew he couldn’t live without Ang!
Now married, their dreams include living a long and happy life together, to have a family with kids and to give them better lives than they had (which will be a very tough thing to do). Their advice for couple’s currently planning is to start planning early, and try your best to make wedding planning as fun as possible. There are days planning will drag on and on, but remember why you are marrying the person in the first place and always do your best to keep a smile on your face!
For their Water Works wedding, Ang couldn’t wait to be together with all their friends and family in one place, and to celebrate their 13 years together. Mike couldn’t wait to see Ang walk down the aisle!
Angelique and Mike have an epic honeymoon planned for mid-June in South Africa and Mauritius. They are doing a few days in Cape Town, a few days at wineries, a safari in Kruger National Park, and then relaxing on the beaches in Mauritius! Thank you to Mike and Angelique for choosing me to photograph your beautiful Fairmount Water Works wedding!
Every part of our journey through life is sacred and passes by way too quickly. Susan elegantly captures the story of your legacy from the beginning with marriage and throughout motherhood with each special season it brings.
