June 27 found me back in Philadelphia at the Ritz Carlton for Molly and Ben’s wedding.  It was a beautiful, sunny, cool, and emotion-packed day, and I was happy to be a part of it.

Molly & Ben put a lot of thought into how the day was going to flow… because they waited until sundown for the ceremony, they opted to see each other ahead of time in order to take pictures beforehand.

Love the look on Molly’s mom’s face as when she walked into the room where Molly was getting ready!

Like I said, emotion-packed.  :)

The flowers by Carl Alan Floral Designs were gorgeous.

Molly and Ben headed outside to take advantage of the Ritz’s Center City location.

I think this one is my favorite of the day.

You may have noticed that the shot below is poorly composed and altogether technically imperfect… but a moment is a moment and that’s what counts!

Last-minute touchups with whatever mirror happens to be available!

And then it was off to the Ketubah ceremony.

This one had people smiling… Molly didn’t even wait for her sister to finish the toast before she got up to hug her!
