The Crystal Tea Room is an elegant spot for a high-end wedding. Located in the heart of Philadelphia, the Crystal Tea Room is full of picturesque details from an indoor water fountain to ornate crystal chandeliers. It’s run by Finley Catering, so the food and service are always top-notch. I love the endless opportunities for unique photos inside the venue and out on the streets of Philly.

Jack & Dierdre’s Wedding at the Crystal Tea Room

Dierdre and Jack went for classic and elegant theme for their Philly wedding. Black and white weddings are always timeless, and it fit right in with the Crystal Tea Room’s elevated experience. The couple went with a black-tie theme, so everyone was dressed to impress!

Jack & Dierdre got married at the Church of the Gesú before heading to the reception hall. It was an evening full of fun and laughter. Both Jack and Dierdre are incredibly kind and surrounded by amazing people! Not to mention, they pulled together an amazing team of vendors that made their day seamless.

Your Crystal Tea Room Photographer

From classy, elegant venues like the Crystal Tea Room to an intimate backyard wedding, I’m your girl! I am based in the Philadelphia area but have traveled all over the country and internationally to photograph many different kinds of weddings!

I love getting to know my clients and their amazing families as they celebrate one of the best days of their lives. Me and my team always ensure that it’s a positive experience from the moment we start working together and that all my clients get the wedding photos of their dreams!

From a client…

Take it from this recent client:

“I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how amazing Alli was as our wedding photographer. From the moment we met her, my husband and I knew we had to hire her. She is not just talented behind the lens, but her passion for capturing the most beautiful and candid moments is evident in every shot she takes.

On our wedding day, Alli went above and beyond in every possible way. She was professional, yet incredibly friendly, making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. When things didn’t go 100% according to plan with our shuttles Alli was able to roll with the punches and keep everyone calm. Even with the hiccup we had absolutely no issues capturing every shot we had planned on the timeline that Alli helped us put together.

Her attention to detail is unmatched. One of my bridesmaids even mentioned she wishes she could redo her wedding day and hire Alli! If you want someone who is not only an expert photographer but also a wonderful person to have with you on your wedding day, look no further than Alli. She doesn’t just take pictures – she tells the story of your day in the most beautiful way possible. We are beyond grateful for her and can’t recommend her enough!” – Rachel H.
