Pittsburgh Marriott City Center & Epiphany Catholic Church Wedding | Maria & Jeff!

Maria and Jeff were married on an absolutely beautiful spring day here in Pittsburgh. Their wedding was a story of family, friends, love, and happiness. We started the day with the girls getting ready at the Pittsburgh Marriott City Center. Sure, Maria’s feet were unbearably sore from the night before, but she was getting married! She was able to work through it and put on a happy face despite the pain. The support from her family and friends picked her up as we chatted about wedding plans, family history, and traditions unique to her and Jeff’s families. I have to say, the wedding, families, and reception party were all wonderful, and I was so happy to be a part of their beautiful wedding day. Here are a few of my favorite wedding photos from their day, with a slideshow at the end! Congratulations, Maria and Jeff!

She’s a stunner!! These were taken right before we left for the church in her room at the Marriott City Center. Maria’s feet hurt so bad at this point, but she turned out looking amazing anyway!

After some of their portraits as husband and wife, we headed back to the Marriott City Center for their wedding reception. It was a great time, with lots and lots of dancing! Their first dance…
