Knowlton Mansion Wedding – Angela & Vincent | Philadelphia, U.S.A
We had the most amazing time in Philadelphia with Angela and Vince! We met initially in Toronto when Vince contacted me to photograph a surprise proposal. A year later, we went to photograph their wedding!
Everyone was so amazing, welcoming and a lot of fun! The wedding took place at the beautiful Knowlton Mansion in Philadelphia, USA.
Without further ado, here are some teasers from the day!

Their Story
We asked Angela and Vince to tell us a bit more about themselves. Here is their story:
1) Tell us how you first met. Where, When, How? Give us the juicy details.
We both met at work during a meeting. When we both took our jobs 7 and half years ago we thought we were only taking a job. Never thought how much we would get out of it including each other, but we didn’t start dating until years later.
2) When did you know he/she was the one? Was there something he/she did?
We both kinda always knew even before we started dating. There was no defining moment but we decided to be together after going for a walk and sitting at race street pier in philly. Angela says she knew when she would miss me when I was away and the person she wanted to do everything with.
3) Tell us about your proposal. (Did you see it coming? How long was it in the planning? How did you feel when it happened? (excited, nervous, etc.).
Vince: I was planning for about 6 months I knew I wanted to do it on vacation just didn’t know where. I was extremely nervous I planned to hide the ring box in my coat. But it was surprisingly warm that day and I needed to hide it in my sock.
Angela: she didn’t see it coming at all. She says she felt happy and excited along with surprised.
