WOW. Love Shack Photo was SO proud to be sponsors of Philadelphia’s wedding + event industry bash of the year! FRESH is presented annually by the International Special Events Society (ISES) of Greater Philadelphia as an industry showcase, networking event and fundraiser. Participating event professionals uphold a high level of excellence, and this year that end was no doubt fulfilled. Ohhhh…all the lush + colorful arrangements, jamming bands and entertainment, and tasty comestibles could not have had a more suitable setting…the luxurious and striking Elkins Estate in Elkins Park, PA! We LOVE a good party, and this party was not good, it was outta-hand sensational! So many awesome participants, far too many than we can list, but here are just a few highlights…
The grand entrance was amazingly lit by Eventions and decor by Eventricity
