Dan and Jaya had the most beautiful wedding in Water Works, Philadelphia. The venue was the right mix of rustic and modern and it was the perfect spot for the lovely couple. The fact that the place was situated on top of the water, made it even more spectacular. Every corner of the venue was picture perfect and photographers were snapping their cameras away as soon as they arrived. The photography team made sure to capture the wide range of the venue. They wanted to document the whole event in its entirety – guests, place and of course, the couple.
The wedding ceremonies started in the Grand Pavilion which was a dreamy outdoor space overlooking the water and the landscape. The simple yet stunning vision was breathtaking behind and beyond the lens. The couple exchanged their vows surrounded by towering columns and whimsical decorations. There wasn’t space which cannot be photographed because every detail was planned to a T.
The rays of the sun shone above Dan and Jaya as if a spotlight hung above their heads while guests were intently listening and watching. There were true “waterworks” as everyone grew teary-eyed from the overwhelming love and passion from the wedding ceremony. Every moment was captured magnificently from every angle through dynamic range settings of the Nikon D800.
Natural sunshine makes it a breeze to photograph using the Nikon. The blue-hued theme of the wedding registered beautifully with the green and white tones of the event. Makeup was done by black makeup artist Philadelphia. The bright smiles of the guests were brimming along with the bright atmosphere of the outdoors.
Even as day transitioned into twilight, the crowd resumed the festivities under the same pavilion. The place retained its beauty as it lit up fairy lights and lanterns for the grand reception. Yellow lighting replaced the sunshine but it made it seem like it was an entirely new venue. Spotlights were set up for the stage so all eyes will be on the couple and the sponsors giving a toast. Though captured at night, less flash was needed because of the bright-lit place.
The amazing music played by the band got everyone on their feet dancing, singing and simply having a ball! Pretty soon, everyone was taking over the dance floor and there were photo opportunities left and right. The couple was all over each other throughout the reception and then joining in to entertain the crowd and have their photos taken with every table. Good music, a great venue, overflowing drinks, and the super fun and loving couple was a formula for a memorable wedding at the Water Works.
