PITTSBURGH CENTER FOR THE ARTS WEDDING

I think it is safe to say that Sarah and Jedd are my spirit animals.  The energy these two emitted over the course of their wedding day could light up a city.  It was a privilege to be a fly on the wall at this wedding.  It was difficult to narrow it down, but here are a few of my favorite moments from their day…

This is Nico.  She does not like to be called a “weiner dog”.  Nico prefers “dachshund,” and she is a professional beggar.

Sarah wore the same wedding gown that her mother, grandmother, and great aunt wore at their weddings.

This is the first wedding I’ve ever shot that included a WWII veteran in the wedding party!  Marty was SO MUCH FUN.

Sarah and Jedd have NO problem being themselves.  I think that’s why I love them so much.

Sarah and Jedd weren’t too keen on dancing alone in front of everyone at their reception, so instead of a first dance, they decided to do “First Karaoke!”  As they sang songs (which were hand picked), the lyrics were projected on the tent ceiling with family photos as a backdrop.  It was SO unique and fun!
