Got engaged Friday! So excited to start planning. Any Philly brides have advice on venues/vendors?

Hi there, I know this may be an odd proposal, but hear me out. My wife and I are wedding photographers in Arizona. We recently decided that we no longer want to do this as a part time gig.. we want to go all in. Take risks and do what we truly love. We love stories. Our story began in high school and as cheesy as it sounds I knew she was the one from the very first kiss. I swear this all true.. as much as it seems to be from a book or a movie, I promise it is truly the way it happened. We were standing outside her house not wanting to say goodbye when she asked if I wanted to wish on a star. Of course I said yes, how could I say no? but when we looked up, the sky was filled with dark clouds.. not a star in sight. With nothing else to distract us, we reluctantly embraced in a goodnight hug, when suddenly she gasped, "there's a star! right between those two trees!" To be honest, it may have been a plane or light post, but we were willing to take the chance. We wished on the star.. and then I felt a rain drop.. and then another and another. I whispered in her ear "I know it has only been a week, but can I kiss you?" It started raining harder now. "You don't have to ask" was her reply. So I kissed her with every ounce of passion inside of me. I shit you not.. I had wished for rain that night. She had told me earlier she had always wanted to be kissed in the rain and I wanted so badly to make it come true. My wife recently came back from San Francisco, just over the weekend actually. She had gone to attend one of Jonas Peterson's workshops. (If you do not know his work, you definitely want to check him out) It has changed the way we want to present ourselves: raw and genuine people willing to share our stories in return for knowing other's. Everyone has stories... and we would love the chance to know yours.

We are a real couple, we are really photographers. Ha :) Our website is http://www.anywhereandsomewhere.com

We are wanting to do more weddings outside our state and outside the country and are willing to shoot your wedding for the expense of the airfare and 1 night hotel. Let us know what you think. We would love to hear from you.
