Two17 Photo & Cinema are Philadelphia wedding photographers. Two-seventeen has long been in my wife, Dawn's, family history.

217, many assume this number represents an address, birth date or anniversary, however 217 symbolizes so much more. Here is her story:

The sentiment behind 217 originated over 55 years ago, when my mother, Shirley Haughton was a little girl. Shirley was the youngest of eight children, who idolized her older sister Ella May. Whenever Shirley told Ella May how much she loved her, Ella May responded

jokingly "How much?" As little sisters often do, Shirley tried to impress Ella May by telling her the largest number she could think of, "Two Hundred and Seventeen." This quickly became a game the two sisters played over and over again. Shirley would tell Ella May she loved her two hundred and seventeen meaning the largest amount known to her little heart. To this day, Shirley and Ella May who are in their sixties and seventies, respectfully, sign every card & letter and conclude every conversation with "I love you, 217". As far back as I can remember my mom has told my sister, Gina, and I that she loves us 217. I don't think we ever questioned or asked what it meant. We knew intrinsically the weight 217 carried when our mom said it. 217 was the greatest amount of love possible and nothing could be more than that love she felt for us. We have continued 217 as a sentiment in our own lives and families. You will see 217 written on every birthday card, holiday card, and letter to family and close friends. Pete and I even have 217 engraved on our wedding bands. There is no better way for us to express respect, commitment and unconditional love than those three numbers. The women of 217 are honored that it's meaning lives on through Pete's photography in capturing the images of unconditional love at it's most intimate and celebrated moments. We are excited to incorporate the meaning of 217 into our family's business. We hope to share our passion and love of photography with you and your family. I Look forward to hearing from you!

Leah & Chris recently welcomed their 4th baby. So we schedule an at home family session for them and the kids to commemorate the new addition. I loved so many of these “real life” moments and this is the way I always want to photograph our own family. Leah & Chris had no set agenda or “must have” shots and I told them then let the kids do their thing and I’ll follow them around the house and get them being themselves. These are some of my favorite family moments and I was so happy to be able to capture them for Leah & Chris. We did their engagement photos and wedding years ago so it was wonderful to be able to catch up and see how they’ve grown as a family in the years since the wedding!

Caroline met up with Emily, James and their pooch the other week just moments after James proposed to Emily. This was such a cute session for these two and a perfect way to capture and commemorate a once in a lifetime moment in both of their lives! Congrats you two.

Family sessions this fall have been 🤌🏻. The weather and light have just been off the charts good and the sessions we’ve been doing have been some of our all time favorites. Maureen & Joe’s family session the other week at Okehocking Preseve was spectacular and no one cried….so that was a bonus!

Laura & Zach’s teaser video from their @fitlerclub wedding just this past Saturday.

Appleford Estate in suburban Philadelphia, just near Villanova is one of our favorite outdoor wedding venues. If you are recently engaged and looking in and around Philadelphia for your wedding venue, definitely give Appleford a visit. It’s an absolutely beautiful setting and the staff is wonderful. We just love everything about Appleford!

Christine + Michael’s progression in front of our cameras over the past five years. Their 2019 engagement session followed by their 2020 wedding to their now 2 year old daughter and her baby brother on the way. Thank you @christineasimon and Michael for continuing to trust us with your family’s most precious memories.

Engagement session season is here and we are excited and ready to go. All the warm sunsets, the river views, the strolls on city side streets, laughing together with our couples and occasionally 🍺 🍹 to wrap it all up. We love engagement sessions! If you haven’t schedule your summer engagement shoot with one of our team now is the time to reach out!

Shout out to all the floral designers and coordinators who make each wedding day so pretty and easy for our team to photograph. And after several years of working together on dozens of weddings, we are fortunate enough to call many of them friends. Looking forward to the start of yet another beautiful wedding season!

The Super-8 film from Erica & Ryan’s Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm wedding is in. I’m like a kid on Christmas morning when we get our Super-8 film back from the lab so I could t wait and I had to edit together a little clip. Erica & Ryan, your movie is going to be so freaking beautiful….i can’t wait to work on it!
