  Visiting Philadelphia in Spring

  Spring in Philadelphia may not feel as warm as many other cities, but of course, the deeper you get into the season, the more the city begins to warm. So, when you book a trip to Philadelphia in early spring make sure to pack your trendiest sweaters because even though it’s cold, you’re on vacation and you’re going to make the best of it! When the temperature’s right, find one of the many pop up beer gardens all over the city come late April. The best part about the beer gardens, besides the fact that they rotate from one location to the next, is that they are usually stationed in Philly’s blooming parks. Though you may not want to start your photoshoot in one of the many beer gardens, you’ll certainly want to end it there, we’re sure your Philadelphia photographer will be more than happy to accompany you for a beer or few!  There are plenty of festivals to check out this season since it is spring after all. Your options range from Philly Black Pride, PrideFest, El Carnaval de Puebla, and Semana Mexicana, which naturally includes Cinco de Mayo parties. If you’re looking for a vibrant setting for a day with your personal photographer in Philadelphia, we recommend starting here. For more arts and culture, you can catch live music at the Tiny Room for Elephants Festival. In the evening bring along your professional photographer for a night-time photoshoot at the Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival in Franklin Square, those photos will certainly be Instagram-worthy! And if shopping is in order, you’ll be happy to know there are plenty of outdoor markets for your liking.

  Visiting Philadelphia in Summer

  Summer is the perfect time to check out the Delaware River waterfront, where you can sit back and relax with a nice cool drink while watching the river. There is also the Blue Cross RiverRink Summerfest where you can ride the Ferris wheel, go skating, and bring along your family photographer to catch your day in the sun with your entire family entertained. Just don’t forget to catch a sunset photoshoot by the riverside! If the day feels steamy, cool off on Market Street with some homemade ice cream and milkshakes. We feel pretty confident that your kids would strongly agree with this suggestion.  If you’re looking for something romantic to do with your partner, get a fresh start at The Food Trust’s Headhouse Farmers’ Market, pick up your favorite local treats and then head to Fairmount Park for an unbelievably romantic picnic. If a proposal is in order we know plenty of proposal photographers available this summer for hire! Then you can happily wander over to the Mann for a live music event and a magnificent view over the Philly skyline. Also, don't forget to pick a day this summer to check out the PECO Multicultural Series Festivals, and perhaps you want to plan your trip around the Made in America Music Festival? That’s only our modest suggestion.

  Visiting Philadelphia in Autumn

  Well, just because it’s autumn in Philadelphia it doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate outdoors with the locals right? With or without the kids, you can cruise through the Scarecrows in the Village display and festival, then treat yourself to a day of Oktoberfest (preferably without children). There is also the Fringe Festival for those curious about the avant-garde art scene and the Mushroom Festival, which goes beyond just mushroom picking. In case all those festivals weren’t enough for your trip to Philly this autumn, there is also The Doylestown Arts Festival, The annual festival celebrating Brazilian independence, and plenty more! For a good Halloween scare, build some courage and check out Eastern State Penitentiary’s Terror Behind the Walls. After the scare you can head to the many food truck festivals around the city this season, but only if you think your stomach can handle it! If you’re celebrating an engagement, you can bring your local engagement photographer to any of the festivals mentioned above! But if you’re looking for a full day’s fun we recommend Old City Fest, where artists, restaurants, designers and more spice up the Old City with activities, crafts, and music. We're sure you won't be disappointed, even if you have to wear a cozy scarf!
