Erin & Cam had the most beautiful, elegant summer wedding at the Downtown Club by Cescaphe! I’ve witnessed a lot of love stories, but none have touched me quite like theirs.

Their Downtown Club wedding was a celebration of their distinct personalities, shared values, and the deep, profound love for each other that I aspire to have.

Their Love Story

Erin and Cam met how most millennial couples seem to meet these days – on a dating app!

They had a great first date at a pub, where they met for a few drinks and some tacos, which is SO ‘on-brand’ for the couple. To start the night off, Cam made a great toast for their first drink together, and Erin was so impressed with his way with words that having great “cheers” has become a tradition for them.

Fast forward through many mini vacations, an across-the-state move, moving into their townhouse, and getting an adorable corgi together, Cam popped the question!

Cam proposed to Erin with a white claw cheers at a picturesque gazebo as they took their dog Milo to the dog park. Erin had no idea that was coming!! But of course, she said YES!

And on June 30th, I got to witness them sharing their first toast as husband and wife on their wedding day just before their first kiss, and it really felt like a full circle moment. But I know that Erin and Cam are going to have many, many more toasts and cheers together!

Cescaphe Downtown Club Wedding

Their wedding day took place at the Downtown Club by Cescaphe, in the heart of Center City.

This venue is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for a modern and elegant couple (like Erin & Cam!). It featured beautiful hand-carved moldings, rich mahogany paneling, and stunning chandeliers, and an incredible panoramic view of Independence Hall, Old City, and the distant Delaware River.

The couple had their ceremony and reception in the Ballroom, while family photos were gracefully captured in the intimate setting of the oak room.

As with all Cescaphe weddings, no detail was overlooked. An impressive hour-and-a-half cocktail hour featured an extensive variety of treats, a unique ice sculpture tribute to the couple’s dog, Milo, and a mesmerizing flambé demonstration.

The staff was so helpful, and the food was delicious, as always!

Before the festivities, we took to the outdoors for the wedding party and couple’s photos, capturing stunning images in the historic 18th-century gardens and the iconic city hall. And dare I say, the photos came out absolutely gorgeous!!

All the Special Moments & Details

Erin and Cam’s wedding day was filled with love and so many special moments! Erin’s first look with her dad was EVERYTHING!

In a heartfelt moment before Erin and Cam’s first look, they had their gifts delivered to each other. Erin surprised Cam with an exciting trip to Vegas (that’s where they took their first trip together!!), while Cam gifted Erin a beautiful Cartier bracelet!

And let’s have a moment for Erin’s wedding dress! It was a two-piece made of hand-painted silk! Absolutely gorgeous!

As a PA wedding photographer, I get to go to a lot of beautiful weddings, so I’m normally immune to emotions, but this wedding really hit me! This couple found me when I was in a rough place in my life, and their engagement session helped me believe in myself again. Since then, they have held a special place in my heart, and I am so happy I got to be there for their wedding day too!
