Jordan + Stephen | April

Four short years ago the stars aligned, or rather the “answers” aligned, as Jordan puts it, and match.com lead these two souls to each other. There’s something so powerful in the thought of uploading the most important details about yourself onto a website and trusting science to show you who you’re meant to be with. We have seen endless successful love stories that began this way and are so excited to give you a glimpse into Jordan and Stephen’s!

Good Morning, Beautiful

Jordan was positively glowing on the morning of her wedding as you can see in the gorgeous photos below. So many thoughts and emotions fill the hours before you say 'I do' and it is so important to allow yourself the time to soak it all in.

First Moment Magic

The "first look" , "first moment" or "reveal" is a relatively new idea. It's when the bride and groom see each other before the ceremony. Some may gasp at the thought as it is traditional to not see the bride until she walks down the aisle. There are pros and cons to the first look and everyone will have an opinion to share on the subject. It is important to follow your heart when making the decision whether to have your first moment be private or in front of your family and friends.

The Tribe

There's nothing better than being surrounded by your favorite people during the most important moments of your life. Jordan and Stephen's wedding party was there for them on their wedding day as they will be for so many milestone events yet to come.

Signing of the ketubah

The ketubah is a very important part of a Jewish wedding. It is basically a marriage contract, or a prenuptial agreement outlining the rights and responsibilities

of the groom to his bride as imposed by the Torah.

Ceremony under the Chuppah

The Chuppah, also referred to as the bridal canopy, is a tapestry attached to the

top of four poles. It is a symbol of God’s presence at a wedding

and in the home the new couple will build together.

Meant to Be

Brittney Kreider Photography did a stunning job of capturing Jordan and Stephen's love for each other. There's no doubt about it that

All Dressed Up and Ready to Party

Let's Dance

The Love Jones Band out of Philadelphia has been on our preferred vendor list since the first time we met. As always, they had everyone out of their seats

after dinner to dance the night away.

Calling All Single Ladies

Jordan tossed her bridal bouquet from the Bridal Lounge located on the second floor of the Casa di Fiori venue. This loft overlooks the cocktail hour space making it the perfect gathering space for the group of women

ready to claim next in line for the altar.
