Golden light, historic charm and rolling gardens make a Curtis Arboretum wedding a dream for Philadelphia wedding photographers like us. This beautiful property sits in Wyncote, in Cheltenham Township, just a short drive from Center City. It feels peaceful and green, yet it is close enough for guests to get there easily. The arboretum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and you can feel that history the moment you arrive.

At the center of it all is Curtis Hall. This elegant building was once the music ballroom of the grand estate of publisher Cyrus Curtis. Today, its detailed ceiling and classic architecture make receptions feel truly special. A tent can connect to the hall, giving couples extra room for dinner and dancing while keeping that open, airy feel. Guests often say the whole place feels a little like a European palace tucked into the suburbs.

Outside, the grounds are just as stunning. The arboretum was designed by Olmsted, the famous name behind New York’s Central Park. There are terraced gardens, a stone patio and a lovely pergola that makes a picture perfect ceremony spot. Couples can move from a lawn ceremony to cocktail hour in the garden and then into the hall, all without leaving the property. Tall trees and open lawns create endless photo spots, especially as the sun starts to set.

Golden Hour Love

Danny and Edith met on a dating app. Their first meetup was at a bar, and from there, it was history! These two love cozy evenings at home, watching movies and TV shows together. Their favorite companion is their dog, Benny, and he was such an important part of their lives that he joined in on the wedding day too. We love when a furry family member gets to be part of the celebration!

Their story is simple and sweet, and that is exactly what makes it so special. Sometimes the best love stories start with a quick swipe and a little bit of courage. We love a couple who keeps things easy and fun.

For their wedding, Danny and Edith chose a golden hour theme, with sunset taking center stage. Their colors were light yellow, peach and soft pink, which glow beautifully in warm evening light. That dreamy palette paired perfectly with the gardens and classic architecture of Curtis Arboretum. It was a soft, romantic look that felt warm and inviting.

Philadelphia Wedding Photographers at Curtis Arboretum

Original Weddings is a team of Philadelphia wedding photographers who love the variety of venues around the city. Philadelphia is our home base, and we regularly photograph weddings in the Main Line, Chestnut Hill, Doylestown, King of Prussia and West Chester. The suburbs just outside the city are full of historic estates, gardens and arboretums that are a joy to photograph. Photographing a wedding at Curtis Arboretum in Wyncote is always a highlight for our team. Every season brings new colors to the gardens, and every couple brings a new story for us to tell. We never get bored here.

Our photographers have years of experience at estates, gardens and historic halls throughout Pennsylvania. We know how to use soft evening light, shady trees and grand interiors to create photos that feel bright and timeless. We keep the day relaxed, so couples can laugh, breathe and enjoy every moment. We love catching candid moments, like a happy glance during toasts or a pup getting extra love from guests. Those little details often become the photos couples treasure most. At Original Weddings, our goal is simple. We want every couple to open their gallery and feel their wedding day all over again, glowing light and all.

Philadelphia Wedding Videographers at Curtis Arboretum

Original Weddings also has a skilled team of Philadelphia wedding videographers. We film weddings across the Philadelphia area and often travel to nearby towns like Jenkintown, Ambler, Elkins Park and Glenside. Filming a wedding at Curtis Arboretum in Wyncote gave our crew a wonderful mix of garden views and classic architecture. The golden light made every scene glow. We would happily film there again.

Our videographers work quietly, so the day can unfold naturally. We capture clean audio of vows and speeches, along with the music and laughter that fill the night. We also look for little moments, like a hug from a parent or a slow dance under the lights. After the wedding, we edit everything into a film that feels personal and true. Couples can share it with family and friends and relive the day whenever they like. Original Weddings loves making wedding films that feel warm, real and full of heart.
