What a beautiful spring wedding Courtney and Zach had!  These photos of their wedding were taken at the Fieldstone Barn at Armstrong Farms in Saxonburg, PA.

I started off the day with Courtney and her bridesmaids at her mother’s house…

When the girls walked outside into the yard for photos, the horses next door immediately ran to the fence to get a closer look at them!  So cute!

Fieldstone Barn at Armstrong Farm is beautifully rustic, and a picturesque wedding venue here in Pittsburgh….

(I had to include the cow in the blog post somehow, right?!  They were hanging out just beyond the space where the ceremony was held.)

There was an abundance of beautiful details at this wedding…..here are a few:

(On a side note, my friends and colleagues from Symbiotic Collusion played the prelude and ceremony music so beautifully!)

This next photo is when Courtney’s father saw her for the first time…

Thank you Zach and Courtney for having me photograph your wedding!  I had a wonderful time getting to know your family and friends!

Shannopin Country Club is a beautiful location for your wedding reception.  This wedding took place in late September…you can see the leaves are still on the trees, but are starting to turn red and orange…

Nothing says “I love Pittsburgh (and the Steelers!) more than having your wedding at Heinz Field!

The wall of windows, which spans both the East and West Club Lounges, overlooks downtown Pittsburgh (perfect for out of town guests!).
