We’d be lying if we said we haven’t been dreaming of fireworks, barbecues, and beach bonfires all week. It’s safe to say you’re feeling the same way too, yes? But, on the off chance that you aren’t already as pumped for the upcoming holiday weekend as we are, here’s a little something to get you in the mood. With Old Glory’s color story and a major nod to Philly’s rich history, this patriotic photo shoot by Lindsay Docherty is equally as inspiring for a Fourth of July party as it is for a summery city wedding.
