Morgan and David | Point Breezeway Wedding

The second I stepped into Point Breezeway, there was a sense of calm on Morgan and David’s wedding day.  A handful of people were organizing chairs and décor for the outdoor ceremony, and the street was so quiet that you could hear the wind rustling the leaves on the ground.  There is something to be said about the beautiful simplicity of a small and intimate wedding, it is almost like the emotions of the day guide each step of the day, rather than a stringent timeline.

Morgan and David have not known each other long, but knew immediately that they were meant to be together.  They are both in the Navy, and flew from overseas to be wed last Friday.

Watching them interact really brought me back to the roots of what a wedding is about.  There were so many beautiful moments that made me tear up (happy tears) but I think my absolute favorite was witnessing Morgan and David’s prayer before the ceremony.  They held hands on either side of a door so as not to see each other, and David said the most eloquent and loving prayer, thanking God for Morgan and asking for blessings on their life together.  It was such a raw and honest moment.  It was beautiful.  But, so was every other part of their wedding day.  Take a look to see what I mean…

Anne and Ryan | The Willow Room Wedding

Anne and Ryan had the most vibrant and sunny Pennsylvania fall day for their wedding!  This couple got married at St. Gabriel of the Sorrowful Virgin, and their reception was at the elegant Willow Room.  We photographed Anne’s brother’s wedding last year (shout out to Bob and Melissa!)  It was the highest compliment that Anne and Ryan saw us in action at Bob and Melissa’s wedding, and asked us to photograph their wedding!  Even more so, because Anne’s other brother and wife are outstanding professional photographers- please check out their beautiful work at Trey Thomas Images!

Anne and Ryan are very close with their families- all siblings were a part of their bridal party, and their nieces and nephews were also the ring bearers and flower girls (there were 4 ring bearers and 2 flower girls!)  There’s just something sweet and sentimental about closely involving family members on your wedding day.  They are the people that will hand you the Kleenex when you start to cry during your vows, and the first people you hug after you walk down the aisle.

Anne and Ryan’s love for each other is apparent and honest.  As Ryan’s best man put it in his toast to the couple, they have that “young love” excitement for each other, and you can clearly see this in their interactions together.  As we photographed, I saw Ryan’s smile grow at the approach of kissing Anne, and the glitter in Anne’s eyes in response.

Kara and Carl | Omni William Penn Wedding

She wore ruby red shoes in honor of her grandmother, Dorothy, and has sparkling blue eyes that are just as bright as her contagious smile.  Kara was absolute perfection on her wedding day, and her handsome prince, Carl, looked equally as sharp.

Kara and Carl got married at St. Paul Cathedral, and had their reception at the elegant Grand Ballroom at the Omni William Penn.  Kara’s family is very close with the Archbishop of Pittsburgh, who is a long-time friend of the family.  The Archbishop presided their ceremony, and gave a touching homily with the theme “If the shoe fits,” which perfectly (and purposefully) tied into Kara’s favorite accessory that she was wearing that day- her red shoes in honor of her grandmother!  One of my favorite moments that we captured that day was Kara showing the Archbishop her red shoes, just minutes before she walked down the aisle.

I also loved watching Kara and Carl’s first dance- they started off slow, and then cut into fun music with choreographed moves!  It was such a perfect moment for this couple because it reflected their light-hearted personalities, and we experienced first-hand how much fun they have together!

Lisa and Christian | Point Park Engagement Session

Lisa and Christian’s engagement session started off at Point Park, in between the spurts of rain that billowed through Pittsburgh after a conversely sunning morning!  Lisa and Chris got engaged at Point Park, so this spot holds sentiment to them.  The fall foliage around the park was vibrant and stunning on this day!  We spent most of our time at the park, then hopped over to the North Shore by the stadiums before the skies let loose and down poured on us!  We were lucky to get some great pictures in between the rain, but even *luckier* that our cars didn’t get a ticket after the rain delayed us from getting to the meter on time!  Lisa and Christian got to their car right as an officer was about to issue them a ticket, but when he learned that they were downtown because of the engagement session, he tore up the ticket and sent them on their way!

Here are some of my favorites from their engagement session!

Jessica and Andy | The LeMont Wedding

“I just wanted our wedding day to be 75 degrees and sunny” Jessica tells me as we step outside to take pictures.  “I can’t believe that is exactly the weather we got!”  It was honestly one of the most beautiful Pittsburgh October days I can remember, and this wish-came-true couldn’t have happened to a better couple.

Jessica and Andy got married at the West End Overlook, and had their reception at the iconic and beautiful LeMont on Mt. Washington.  This lovely couple had a first look at The Point (which included their cute and fluffy little pup, Leo!  I am enamored with him, and swear he and Benny would be best friends.)

Even though Jessica and Andy had a first look, I will never forget the wave of emotion that captured Andy when he saw Jessica and her father walk across the park and down the aisle.  Watching him hold back the tears made me tear up.  His expression was almost as tender as the way he held Jessica during their first dance.  Dang, I just love how you can see how much they love each other.

And Jessica, I mean. WOW. She was absolute perfection in her Hayley Paige wedding gown and Jimmy Choo wedding shoes.  I just about fell over when I saw her in her dress!  A goddess with the most kind and loving heart.  The type of person that people flock to because she is such a sweet and fun person.  I’ll never forget the opening line of her first email to me “We are looking to find a photographer who takes great photographs and will have fun with us on our wedding day!”  Jessica and Andy are *such* a fun couple, and their wedding day was nothing short of amazing!

Take a look to see what I mean…
