When we tell people we were having our wedding reception at Reading Terminal Market, they were…read morealways a little surprised and their next reaction was "that is going to be SO COOL!" And after we had our wedding, our guest did nothing but rave about how fun, unique and perfect the reception was. But just having a reception at RTM is not what I'd recommend it. It was so much more. It was having the incredible variety of foods - we had cheesesteaks, DiNic's roast pork, Chinese food, a salad bar, poutine and corn dogs, grilled cheese from Meltkraft, the list goes on. It was having a historic and unique setting that was transformed into a beautiful evening even with string lights, candles, table clothes, decorations and provided an ambiance it'd be impossible to replicate anywhere else. It was the servers who attended to our guests every need, kept the party going, the room clean and the people happy. It was every little touch that the planning team executed perfectly for us, that all happened without us realizing it, without any reminders or questions. The planning team at All About Events were the true heroes of the night - and in fact, the whole planning process. We met with them about 15 months before our wedding, and Christina, Stevie and Liam made sure that everything was easy, fun and exciting. Christina's emails to us were always clear and thorough, addressing every little question I had asked, and pointing out tiny things I never would have thought of. Stevie's communication with our vendors was so appreciated, including our Mummers and DJ! And every time we met with them, the meetings were exciting, joyful. Their personalities and kindness and caring for us and our events just SHONE. We could not recommend RTM and AAE more. They are a truly wonderful team, and a gem in the Philadelphia wedding scene. I hope that we get to go to another event at the market soon, and we will certainly keep them in mind for our 10th anniversary vow renewal!!!!

When I first set off upon the long quest that is wedding planning I knew that picking a…read morephotographer would be one of our most important decisions; after all, you're spending a small fortune, gathering all your favorite people together, and you better have something tangible to look back on once the details have faded from memory. Having the opportunity to laugh hysterically at so many cheesy engagement and wedding photos on Facebook during the preceding years I was determined that under no circumstances would I ever hire someone who would pose us in a wheat field and have us staring into each others eyes... or something like that... Along comes Ian, we were struck by the fun, exuberance, tenderness, and straight up real moments and feelings that we saw captured through his lens. We met over coffee at Ultimo, got to know each other a little, and hit it off really quick. He is, in a nutshell, a charming, laid back dude with great taste that works really damn hard- what more could you want? He sent a contract which we signed and returned promptly. (Also of note is that he is part of a wedding services collective worth checking out called "Rabbit Rabbit Crew" which is a curated group of small businesses for every aspect of your perfectly styled wedding) On our big day, Ian showed up right on time to the loft where my girls and I were getting ready as per a timeline/shot list that he had us send to him before the day so that everything would run smoothly. He was completely at ease moving around the space, shooting stealthily and casually chatting, but not at all being intrusive. As we moved on to the church and then the reception site he was right there capturing everything and even stopped off with us at a coffeeshop to shoot some awesome photos of us two in our natural habitat. The photos we got back were so lovely and perfectly captured the spirit of the day- I really couldn't have higher praise for his work. For the most part the pictures were documentary in style with just enough posed shots and each and every picture was thoughtful. Thanks so much Ian for being such an integral part of a very special day. I couldn't recommend this guy enough! Want proof? Check our pics out at: http://www.vivalovephoto.com/cassie-and-drew/

With his relaxed style you will get photographs that are natural, not staged or cheesy. They have a timeless eloquence to them we adore. Not only is Ian a master at his art, but he is passionate about his art. An ex. that highlights his passion follows. The morning of our wedding Ian drove around an area he was unfamiliar with to search for a first-look location for us. He could have easily done the first look in our hotel, however he took it upon himself to find a beautiful place instead since we hadn't a spot in mind when he asked. Seeing Ian go above and beyond for us set the stage for his professional services throughout the rest of the day. He has a creative eye and found cool ways to shoot that not any photographer would consider. For ex. at our reception Ian took pictures of us inside a field of flowers off the beaten path. We would have never thought of that, but leave it to Ian and he will come up with amazingly creative ideas in the moment. Ian genuinely cares about you and your guests. He took time to meet before the wedding to discuss the timeline for the day. He accommodated all requests. When you contact Ian he responds promptly. We have been to a lot of weddings and have been photographed as part of wedding parties. Ian is the best and most fun photographer we both have worked with yet. His assistant DJ did an excellent job capturing the guys bridal party and their personalities. Fun experiences with good hearted people makes for amazing photos. Ian and DJ were so kind and perceptive. Hire them - they care about what they are doing! We have received many compliments. For ex. a friend's comment regarding one of Ian's photographs of the girls bridal party was, "This looks right out of a bridal magazine. Beautiful!" We look forward to our photo album Ian will make. Will not be easy to pick faves! Love em all!

I cannot tell you how special our wedding was because of Chris, The Other Wedding DJ. From our…read morefirst phone call, we knew Chris was the DJ for us. First - he has a background as a musician and has toured with incredible artists I admire. His understanding of musicality shows in his DJ work. My husband and I met at an indie rock concert, so music is important to us and our taste can be a little obscure. Chris combined all of our interests and favorite music into a great set list and mixed them with other hits that get people on the dance floor. People were dancing all night and continue to compliment us on our DJ. The planning process with him was so easy, he had great input every step of the way, worked directly with our venue to handle set-up logistics, and I cannot imagine our wedding day without him. Hands down one of the best choices we made for our wedding.

My fiancé and I had loved his photography with their events so we felt confident in hiring him for our engagement party. Needless to say, he exceeded our expectations. His professionalism, flexibility and dedication to his clients is most appreciated and admired. I'm from Chicago and my fiancé lives in Philadelphia. Ryan was willing o meet us in NY when we were there for a quick weekend or even FaceTime us to meet. He made sure to ask what things/occurances we wanted pictures of to make sure he didn't miss anything and even inquired about our Indian traditions to make sure he knew what to look out for. You can tell he really cares about his clients. The day of our party, he captured moments well now be able to cherish for a lifetime...and he captured them so beautifully. His turnaround time was impressive as well! We got 777 pictured edited back within a week! Even more, I wanted a couple of pictures brightened and he was able to make that additional edit quite quickly as well. All in all, great quality pictures with a very talented professional! Would recommend him to anyone :) Here's a link to his blog from our engagement party: https://www.re-photography.com/philadelphia-ballroom-engagement-party
