Jessica and Matt - Intimate Pittsburgh wedding

A tour of Pittsburgh - wedding

---

It is rare that we write anything on our blog posts. We want all your attention on the images, but after this year and the weddings we’ve been lucky enough to photograph and be a part of we wanted to share a little something. Jess and Matt had never planned for the wedding they were forced to have due to Covid, but they did not let them stop that from having the best day ever! The day started with the two of them getting ready in Matt’s parents house. Hanging, laughing, drinking and just spending the morning together. Followed by a ceremony at St. Bernards in Mt. Lebanon and then a tour of Pittsburgh with their closest friends and family. With stops on the Northside, Heinz Field, PNC Park and Mt. Washington. After the tour they were surprised with a small reception at Jessica’s parents house where even more of their family and friends gathered to celebrate the two. Even with a smaller wedding the two of them had the time of their lives! 2020 was not the year that ANYONE planned for, but we adapted, and made it work. 2021 might be the same, might be better. The best thing we can say is to let loose, have fun, adapt and roll with the punches.

What a strange and uncertain time we are living in. No exact end to COVID, couples having to reschedule because they can not have the celebration they hoped and planned for and the weddings that are happening have been adjusted to fit strict guidelines. Nonetheless, this did not stop Tara and Krishna for celebrating with their friends and family. It was an honor to a part of their small group and capture their Hindu Puja.

Lindsay and Graham - Embassy Suites Pittsburgh wedding

Every time I do a blog post I end up talking about the weather in Pittsburgh.....and Chrissy makes fun of me for it....BUT SERIOUSLY, THE WEATHER IN PITTSBURGH! Lindsay and Graham had the rain gods with them for their wedding. It poured many times through the day but we were never outside for it! When it was time to go outside we got some awesome clouds over downtown (from Mount Washington overlook) and when we got back to Embassy Suites they had nothing but sunshine. They deserved every bit of sunshine they got, too! Lindsay and Graham are two of the sweetest people and their love for everyone shines through! 

From the bride and groom: " We want to have a pretty, classy yet VERY fun and lively wedding"

Best piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding: "It can be helpful to get ideas from family and friends but can quickly become very overwhelming. In the end your wedding day is about you and your fiancé and you have to make decisions that best fit your style, budget, and wishes for the day! Take the time to spend days together planning and doing things wedding related. Make it a date!"
