Good morning, Philly. This Thursday brings a slight chance of morning showers and thunderstorms, with high temps near 87.<\/p>\n

Summer is wedding season. Don\u2019t want to spend $30,000 (or more) for your big day? Philly micro-wedding venues offer packages for $1,000 or less and are growing in popularity<\/a>. The trend comes as others are dropping the same amount on wedding content creators tasked with capturing candid moments from their events<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And Old City<\/a>\u2019s restaurant row is getting a new tenant, as the neighborhood looks to the future \u2014 one that features a park over I-95<\/a>. Read on for these stories and many more.<\/p>\n

Call it the tale of two wedding trends.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc92 On the affordable end<\/b> of the spectrum is the micro-wedding. Couples can spend as little as a few hundred dollars to tie the knot, in front of just a few dozen guests \u2014 or none.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc92 Philly has several venues<\/b> dedicated to the micro-wedding, including the brand-new Philadelphia Elopement Co. in Kensington<\/a>. Owners Angela Gaspar and Avi Rubinsky \u2014 the first couple to get married at their softly decorated loft space last week \u2014 are part of a small but growing national trend of engaged folks who would rather spend the money on a house or elaborate honeymoon.<\/p>\n

Consumer reporter Erin McCarthy explains the shift toward teeny, plus tips for getting married for $3,000 or less in the Philadelphia area.<\/a><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc92 On the pricier end<\/b> is the wedding content creator. In Philly, these social media pros charge between $500 and $2,000 to snap hundreds of photos and videos of the couple\u2019s big day, usually on an iPhone. The selling point? The images are ready to be shared almost instantly.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc92 One of those creators<\/b> told McCarthy that she explains her job to older generations as \u201cnot that much different from their homemade wedding video.\u201d<\/p>\n
