Courtney and Kevin’s lavish wedding celebration at the Cescaphe Waterworks was one for the books. When it came to their wedding the couple spared no expense. From the venue’s decor to the luxury wedding transportation and the bride and groom’s attire everything was glamorous. We feel so privileged to have been a part of this beautiful Cescaphe Waterworks wedding. 

Love Story

Courtney and Kevin met in Tampa, Florida, Kevin’s hometown, six years ago while Courtney was there on an impromptu business trip. The two connected instantly at a random encounter at a hotel bar and decided to continue talking after Courtney went back to Philadelphia.

After 2 years of long distance dating and many airplane rides, Kevin finally made the move to Old City, securing his place in not only Courtney’s hometown but in her heart for good.

The Proposal 

Kevin proposed to Courtney on her birthday on the beach in Longport, NJ, Courtney’s favorite place. Through her sincere shock and jubilant tears, she said “yes!” and was surprised by an intimate gathering of her closest family and friends at her family beach house following the proposal. “It was by far the best moment of my life,” says Courtney, who had no idea Kevin had gotten her dream ring that she had picked while vacationing in Florida and had planned everything without her knowing. “It was a fairytale.”

Cescaphe Waterworks Wedding 

Kevin and Courtney exchanged their vows at St.Augustine church in front of 185 of their friends and family. The wedding was followed by a reception at the Cescaphe Waterworks located downtown Philadelphia right in the heart of the city. Cescaphe Waterworks is one of the top wedding venues in Pennsylvania situated right on top of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The museum and its neoclassical architecture, iconic views, and elegant decoration made this wedding an unforgettable experience. We spent the night capturing everyone’s most precious moments from the first look, first dance as husband and wife, and the cake cutting ritual. Everything was perfect. Kevin and Courtney were on cloud nine and they had so much fun. Here is a glimpse of Courtney and Kevin’s big wedding reception.
