Celebrating With Sharks

Laura and Louis

Currents Ballroom at Adventure Aquarium

With the contemporary styling, breath-taking views of the Philadelphia skyline and a larger-than-life peek into a captivating 550,000-gallon Shark Realm, filled with over 20 sharks and hundreds of amazing fish, the Currents Ballroom at Adventure Aquarium is easily one of the most unique locations around.

While Laura and Louis' friends and family enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, the newly wed couple strolled the riverwalk along the shore of the Delaware River.

The skyline of Philadelphia and the Benjamin Franklin bridge added to the setting for the photos and video shot by Clair Pruett. I shot a few photos, too... You can see them here.

The energy and happiness in the room was apparent from the start. And not just because this was the THIRD wedding I had entertained for this group of guests!

What really stood out from this wedding was Tony (the Best Man) breaking into a solo dance interpretation of D4L's "Laffy Taffy" at the end of his speech and Louis' father laying claim to the microphone and serenading the crowd with Elvis' Jailhouse Rock.

It was a high-energy group from start to end! Hopefully, the sharks will have a speedy recovery from all the lights and sound!

Congratulations, Laura and Louis!
