Why we love Tendenza: Over the last 17+ years of shooting weddings, Tendenza is easily the Cescaphe venue we have shot at the most. It's one of my favorite venues in Philadelphia and if you're planning a city wedding, Tendenza should absolutely be on your short list. Cescaphe venues, as a whole, provide a top notch experience for your guests in the culinary creations they serve, but combine that with stunning decor, a caring staff, downtown accessibility and you've got the makings of an amazing wedding experience.
Tendenza has a unique charm that is perfect for large weddings and more intimate ones as well. I love the juxtaposition of the brick walls and charming chandeliers. I'm confident you'll love it too!

Full Day Coverage
No need to Worry about missing a moment
I know that every time my wife or I feel stressed out, it’s a great idea to just stop, relax and take stock. This is never more true than when planning a wedding. My advice (having worked in the industry for many years and planned my own wedding) is to take some time to get your wedding priorities straight. What is important to you may not be as important to someone else. Figure out what you care most about and then go from there. For most of our couples, that means finding the perfect venue then finding the right photographer to capture it all.
How to be the most laid-back bride (or groom) on the planet
Nathan’s philosophy
kind words
“Nathan was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. His day started with us at 10am and he and his team stayed with us for over 12 hours! Many of our guests came to us after and asked who our photographer was because they were "on point" capturing every moment. From the very beginning of the process, he was extremely accommodating with our requests and flexible with us when need be. We are so excited to see the final results and can't wait to see the final images!”

frequently asked questions
How long have you been shooting weddings?
We have been shooting weddings since 2007 and have hundreds of them under our belt. We’ve worked at Tendenza many times along with countless other venues in Lancaster and Philadelphia, in every season, weather, lighting, and size. We've seen it all!
Can I give you a list of shots that I want on my wedding day?
You can. However, we've found that it is best to just share images with us that are non-standard, or ones we wouldn't have known about had you not told us. Don't worry, we'll be sure to capture family pictures, your first kiss, and all of the "normal" stuff. Leading up to the wedding, we'll send you a questionnaire to fill out and then jump on a call with you to go over all of the important details.
Do you bring back-up equipment to every shoot?
We do. We have extra batteries, memory cards, lenses, and cameras. We're never going to be careless on someone's wedding day!
Do you travel?
We love to travel and experience new places. If your wedding is within 100 miles (round trip) of our studio, there are no extra fees. If it is further away, we'd be happy to give you a custom quote to cover nominal travel expenses. There are no travel fees for Tendenza Weddings
Are the images we see edited?
All of the final images we post (usually between 850-1250) are color-corrected, cropped, and ready for printing. If you like the work you see on our website, you'll love your own images! Editing styles/filters come and go over time, but one of the consistent things we hear from our couples is that they love our timeless style while remaining vibrant, bold and authentic!
Please shoot our wedding! How do we book you?
