Philadelphia

Matt and I got married!! (Which means I’ll be changing all my social media handles from Dent to Bocchese!) Our wedding was on August 17 at St. Patrick’s Church and Union Trust in Philadelphia, and it was the PERFECT day. Everything went according to plan and all our of vendors were incredible. It was a […]

When is the best time to visit Philadelphia? You honestly can’t go wrong with visiting at any point in the year! There are so many different things you can do if the weather is too hot or too cold. But that being said, I think there amazing times to visit and times that aren’t the […]

Matt and I are getting married! You’ve probably seen me talk about it on social media because I’m a little excited, and I thought I would share our love story after we took our engagement photos. We did our engagement photoshoot in Old City Philadelphia with Kristen of Petal and Glass Photography and I love […]

If you’re visiting Philadelphia, you definitely need to go to historical places like the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, but there’s more than just the main tourist sights! The city has some pretty awesome festivals (including Cheesesteakfest!), and one of the most unique ones is the annual Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival! 🙂 I’ve failed at […]

I know I mentioned in last week’s post about changing my blog name that the focus of my blog will be on travel instead of Philadelphia, but I can’t resist posting these photos of snowy winter in Philadelphia! 🙂 If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen my Insagram stories filled with photos of […]

Want to know the best time to see Philadelphia’s famous Boathouse Row? At sunrise in the fall a few days before Daylight Savings Time. It’s a very specific time and date and very early in the morning, but it’s worth it! And I am going to show you why 🙂 The best place to see […]

The history in Philadelphia is one of my favorite things about living in the city. If you don’t live in the city, you may know Old City Philadelphia as the place where the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall are (plus tons of other places like Elfreth’s Alley, the Betsy Ross House, Christ Church, and more), […]

I love how different Philadelphia looks in every season! You may have seen my posts on fall and winter in Philadelphia, and spring might be my favorite season to photograph. Spring in Philadelphia is so bright and colorful, and there are beautiful flowers everywhere. The parks around Philadelphia are gorgeous in spring, but don’t count […]

I love living in a city and there are a surprising number of parks in Philadelphia (which is definitely one of my favorite things about living in Philadelphia), but sometimes it’s nice to escape the city and get some fresh air. Valley Forge is surprisingly close to Philadelphia (only about a 20 minute drive), and […]

I hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend! 🙂 I am not fashionable by any means, but I’ve been lucky to be able to photograph some great fashion bloggers and see the spring fashion in Philadelphia! With temperatures getting warmer and flowers starting to bloom, I was doing photoshoots left and right for some PHLbloggers. I learned […]

You can’t go to Philadelphia without visiting Reading Terminal Market. It’s near the Convention Center so there are tourists there, but the locals love it and it’s a great place to get a feel of Philly life! Reading Terminal Market is an indoor market with everything you could imagine- fresh groceries, restaurants, donut stands (locals […]
