Details

 

Kate and Lucas met in Brazil while working as journalists, and their wedding day was the perfect mesh of both West Philly and Rio De Jainero. They wed at the Woodlands Cemetery, before the West Philadelphia Orchestra led them on a carnival-style parade to the block where Kate grew up. It seemed like half the neighborhood spontaneously joined the mile long parade through West Philly. Every element of their wedding day reflected and honored their personalities, relationship, and community.

What They Said

 
From the very first meeting, I instantly felt comfortable with Kelly, and on our wedding day, it was like we had a close friend around taking photos— she put everyone at ease, giving (gentle) instructions when necessary but mostly letting all the moments happen organically and capturing the wild spirit of our day in her signature documentary style.
