Hanna's Bat Mitzvah | IVC 1.15.11

I always enjoy working at the Independence Visitor Center (IVC) in the Liberty View Ballroom. I think it is one of those hidden treasures. It has both indoor and outdoor experiences for your guests and you can choose from two fantastic caterers: Gourmetro or Max and Me Catering.

Hannah celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at the gorgeous Rodeph Shalom Synagogue and rocked out her Reception at the IVC. Her mom is a graphic designer so she personalized all of her daughters invitations, table numbers and signs with sketches and drawings that Hannah did herself.

This girl loved color so that was her "theme" per say... Hot pink, orange, red all liked together with a bright chartreuse green...the room was transformed! Hannah's sketches were enlarged and used as table runners down the center of the 'Kids' tables.

 The Kids area and the Adult tables were divided by the dance floor that had tons of lanterns overhead.

The adults had two styles of centerpieces. One to connect to the bright green of the kids and tall trees with hanging Gerberas to connect with outside and Hannah's botanical like sketches.

Wish Upon a Wedding | Top of the Tower 1.31.11

We thought we would kick off the month of love with some big LOVE of our own (statue that is!)

Campbell Studios was a proud local sponsor for the launch of the Philadelphia Chapter of "Wish Upon a Wedding" hosted at the Top of the Tower at 3 Logan Square.

WUW provides weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal illness or other serious life-altering circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation. Often, couples facing such situations do not have the energy, time, money, or resources needed to plan their wedding. This organization takes care of all the details, offering couples a chance to relax and enjoy a very special day while surrounded by the love of their closest family and friends.

There were lots of great sponsors from the industry there including Cupcakes Gourmet...

and I need to find out who donated these little pieces of twisted love!

While saying we look forward to being called upon to fulfill a wish would be bitter sweet - we will be honored to be a part of  making someones day filled with beauty and love.

Oooh baby its cold outside...but it was warm at the NCC!

I have done weddings with Cliff in the past - but last minute he was unable to attend so photographer Ann Marie Casey came in to save the day! I was so glad she could jump in and capture the table setting details. It was so cool too, she was taking these shots when the sun had already gone down but she got such great views from the windows. Beautiful! Here are just a few, but there were so many great ones. Check out the side show to the right for more!
