Alina & Jon | Positano Coast, Philadelphia PA

Alina & Jon have the cutest Philadelphia how-we-met story ever. They met on a SEPTA bus!!! Jon noticed Alina and was brave enough to ask her out. The Septa bus part of our photo session was definitely one of my favorites!

They wanted their wedding simple and prioritized spending time with their guests, honoring specific family members with a traditional tea ceremony.

Alina mapped out a route to stroll through Philadelphia on the way to Positano Restaurant, and we stopped at a few chosen spots for photographs.

Alina has a quiet, unassuming and natural elegance that took my breath away.

People passing by were noticing too and were full of compliments. Jon joked, “Everyone keeps telling her congratulations, and no one’s saying anything to me!”

They’re just noticing how lucky she is, Jon!
