Erica and Josh were married in Pittsburgh's North Hills area at Pine Community Center. I was looking forward to this wedding all year. They have such a fun spirit. When I first met with them we played a little '20 Questions' to get to know each other and bonded over one of my favorite games, Zelda. Little did I know that the theme music would be come part of their ceremony. It's so refreshing when couples tailor the day to themselves. 

 The day could not have been more perfect. Blue skies. Puffy clouds. Happy Bride. Awesome vows. Here is a peek at Erica and Josh's day!

This classic Westmoreland Museum of American Art wedding for Christiana and Bob was perfectly unique to them. Their wedding day was laced with even more joy because Bob had been hospitalized right before the wedding. An unexpected trial that they overcame together. Chrissie was by his side while he recovered and was most looking forward to finally being pronounced husband and wife. There was not a dry eye in the church during her walk down the aisle. Everyone was ready to celebrate the newlyweds and Bob's health!

Chrissie and I met while working together. We went for coffee to talk about her wedding plans and she was so excited when she described her venue to me. The Westmoreland Museum of American Art was recently renovated and they added a beautiful, bright reception space for weddings inside of the cantilever. I couldn't have picked a more perfect venue for them. 

There were so many sweet moments during their day! At the reception, Bob pulled out the wrapped silverware he saved from Chrissie's graduation party to share their first bite of cake. There was a cousin flash mob (which is the coolest thing I have ever see family do)! And even down to the handmade cookies with #coppersrus because the met while working at Toys R Us.

Congratulations Chrissie + Bob!

Stephanie and John are MARRIED!! Pittsburgh weather was more like Seattle this weekend (or for the last month). But that didn't cloud the joy of Stephanie and John's Washington, PA wedding day.  The ladies were getting ready at the historic George Washington Hotel where I met up with them. It was a rush of emotions as Stephanie slid into her dress.  I am often choking back tears behind my camera. When the bride gets in her dress and when she walks down the aisle are usually the culprits. I think John's expression says it all - she was a stunning bride.

Stephanie and John - I adore you both! I am so luck to have met you and witness your love story. I wish a lifetime of love and happiness. Always remember how you felt on this day.
