Becca + Zach: Union Trust, Philadelphia PA

A Sophisticated Love Story in the Heart of Philadelphia

Becca & Zach | Union Trust Ballroom

Some love stories feel written long before two people even meet — as if the universe gently wove their paths together, waiting for the right moment to intertwine. For Becca and Zach, their story began in the same small town, long before they knew it. They made their First Holy Communions together, were confirmed together, and even served as sponsors for their siblings’ confirmations — all before they truly knew one another. Years later, fate would remind them of those quiet beginnings as they prepared to say “I do” before family, friends, and the city that has always felt like home.

Becca and Zach envisioned a wedding that beautifully blended elegance and timelessness with their vibrant personalities — a celebration that would be both sophisticated and joy-filled. Every moment of the day reflected that balance: heartfelt, classic, and full of life.

Their Catholic ceremony at Old Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church in Philadelphia held deep meaning — the culmination of many shared sacraments, and the start of their new chapter together. During their first look, they exchanged personal vows, creating an intimate, emotional moment that was just for them — a pause before the whirlwind of the day ahead.

Some of the most beautiful love stories are carried in the details, and for Becca, her engagement ring holds generations of devotion. After her grandfather passed away, her grandmother offered Becca her own engagement diamond — a gift that symbolized not only the love her grandparents shared but the legacy Becca and Zach now continue. Zach and Becca’s mom secretly worked together to have the diamond reimagined into a new setting — and as Becca tells it, the very first words she spoke after saying yes were, “Is this Mommom’s?” It was. And it was perfect.

After getting engaged, Becca and Zach toured venues across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but nothing compared to the magic of Union Trust Ballroom in the heart of Philadelphia. The soaring ceilings, architectural grandeur, and old-world charm aligned perfectly with Becca’s vision of classic sophistication. For two families with deep roots in the city — where Becca was born, her grandparents fell in love, and Zach cheers on every Philly sports team — choosing Philadelphia felt like coming home. GO BIRDS!

As the night went on, the celebration turned into one big party. The dance floor stayed packed, the music kept everyone on their feet, and laughter filled the ballroom. It was the perfect ending to a day full of love, joy, and meaning. Becca and Zach truly danced the night away—starting their marriage surrounded by family, friends, and all the happiness in the world.
