Aspinwall Riverfront Wedding | Maggie & Chris
Aspinwall Riverfront Wedding | Maggie & Chris
Maggie & Chris had their day planned expertly by Madeline Kelly Events, and every detail was perfection! I love the color scheme, and it was all pulled together by their venue, Riverfront Weddings, now known as the Gem on the Allegheny.
Pennsylvanian Wedding | Alicia & Joey
Pennsylvanian Wedding | Alicia & Joey
I’ve been obsessed with The Pennsylvanian for a long time. I adore the building. The rotunda is just my favorite bit of architecture in Pittsburgh. When Alicia and Joey reached out about their wedding (with one of my favorite planners!), I jumped at the chance. Their wedding was nothing short of epic, with perfectly coordinated details, multiple bands, and even a second line moment!
Heinz Chapel & Kingfly Spirits Wedding | Devan & Eric
Heinz Chapel & Kingfly Spirits Wedding | Devan & Eric
Devan & Eric are two of the kindest people you will ever meet. You could just tell by the love their friends & family showed all day. Their photos were a celebration of family. This was the first time I photographed a wedding at Kingfly Spirits, and it was a really unique, industrial space. Plus everyone loves a disco ball! Of course, for their ceremony, they were at my favorite Pittsburgh chapel - Heinz Chapel!
Soldiers & Sailors Wedding | Marissa & Billy
Soldiers & Sailors Wedding | Marissa & Billy
Marissa & Billy had an incredible day with the best vendor team of all time. Every detail was just exquisite. Personally, I’m still obsessed with Marissa’s gloves - can we bring those back on the daily, because WOW!
Given that this day also had 50 mph winds that added a little bit of chaos and some extra spectacular veil drama, I’m impressed how well they hung in for portraits outside. The chill made it a little uncomfortable, but it was so worth it!
Phipps Wedding | Lily & Kevin
Lily and Kevin had a gorgeous day at Phipps in Oakland. You may remember these two from their ballroom dance engagement session this summer. Their wedding photos turned out gorgeous! They did a private first look, so we did all their portraits before the wedding, meaning they were able to just join the cocktail hour and party right after the ceremony, no stress! It was so fun to be a part of.
Sheraton at Station Square Wedding | Martina & Michael
Sheraton at Station Square Wedding | Martina & Michael
I’m obsessed with Martina & Michaels reception decorations. They are musicians, and their florals included instruments all around the room. They also performed multiple times during the evening, and it was incredible.
The Woods at Eisler Farms Wedding | Brianne & Dave
These two had a magical fairytale wedding in the forest - with beer. Not kidding, there was a separate beer truck and everything! Plus the tables were decorated with growlers from local breweries. Pretty amazing if you ask me.
It was my first time at this venue, and it is literally a dream if you love the outdoors. Beautiful woods, farm tables, a tented reception, and a ceremony overlooking a pond. They had a great sunset to end the day.
Rainy Wedding at the Priory | Salena & Adam
Urgh Pittsburgh weather. Sometimes it doesn’t want to cooperate for a wedding day. Luckily, Salena & Adam were laid-back and open to dancing in the rain! We can always make magic if you’re willing to get the dress wet. For portraits, we headed out to the Highline and captured pictures in the colorful buildings there. We stopped at Smithfield St Bridge on the way back, just to mix things up.
Of course, the rest of the wedding was at the Priory, which is a classic Pittsburgh venue. I always love lit backdrop for the indoor ceremony.
