Water Works Wedding – Anthony and Rebecca are Married!
I get to do weddings all over the United States, but I have to say Water Works by Cescaphe is one of the best places I’ve had the chance to shoot a wedding in the North East. The food, architecture, and atmosphere were incredible, but what really sold me on the venue was watching the way they treated Anthony and Rebecca. If you’re looking for a wedding venue in Philadelphia, I can’t recommend Water Works enough.
Now, about this couple. I’ve had the pleasure of shooting the weddings of Anthony’s cousin, arguably the wildest white man I know, as well as his brother, Toaster extraordinaire. That probably sounded better in my head. He’s the best man and he gave a toas… forget it.
The truth is I’ve gotten to know this family over a period of almost five years now and I can’t describe what an honor it is to come back time after time. These are some of the best people I know and it meant so much to be in Philadelphia in like 11 degrees to celebrate with this crowd.
There is nothing that connects deeper with me as a man, as an artist, and as a photographer than being around so many people that love each other so much, and shooting this wedding was so fulfilling on every front. All that to say, congratulations Rebecca and Anthony.
