“We definitely want to take pictures with the city in the background,” Mike says as he, Jacquelyn and I meet in the months leading up to the wedding. Mike lived in the Strip District when he and Jacquelyn first met, so the picturesque Pittsburgh skyline brings back special memories for them.

And on their wedding day, there were a ton of amazing memories made. From the onset, just about every family member of Jacquelyn’s was present at some point while she was getting ready for the ceremony. It was so endearing to watch Jacquelyn’s (identical) twin sister, Jennifer, help Jacquelyn with her makeup, or their other sister, Jessica, put the final touches on the children, who were the ring bearers and also the flower girl. There was energy in the air, and it was a lot of fun for me to step back and capture every little moment that unfolded.

There were quite a few moments that were my favorite throughout their day; whether it was the bridal party toasts that were both funny and sentimental (to the point that I became teary-eyed), or just catching the little moments that Jacquelyn and Mike took to enjoy each other. We witnessed their day from the start to the very finish at the after party, and every single moment that Jacquelyn and Mike had together was full of love, laughter, and joy.

Take a look to see what I mean…
