Vicky + Jesse | Shenango Pines Farm Wedding

Vicky and Jesse were married at Shenango Pines Farm in Mercer, PA. It was an extra special celebration because her parents own the venue and it was one of the first weddings hosted on the property. If you are looking for a rustic barn venue you need to check it out!  The property is beyond gorgeous. As you pull in you see the lake, fields, event barn and donkeys! Yes, they have mini donkeys! You can have your ceremony in a variety of locations and Vicky and Jesse settled on the garden area behind her parents house. Her aisle was a long row of tall trees that opened up into a small hollow.

It was a gorgeous day from start to finish and Vicky was so breathtaking. Wait until you see her.  She worn a lace and beaded gown with a custom shawl. She handmade each bouquet AND created the invitations. All of which were so creative and quite frankly, freaking amazing! She was heavily involved in so many of the details and it showcased their personality so well. Down to the 'Legen-dary' cuff links Jesse worn which reference the TV show 'How I Met Your Mother'. Many of the times we met to discuss their wedding, we ended up on a HIMYM tangent. Such a good show, seriously! Anyway, I am going off topic - Vicky and Jesse, thank you a million times for inviting me to be a party of your day, for loving on my puppy, being down for a beer at meetings and for showing me around Mercer.  <3

Erica + Josh | Pine Community Center Wedding

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!

Christiana + Bob | Westmoreland Museum of American Art Wedding

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!
