Wedding: Jenna + Ryan

University Club Pittsburgh Wedding Photography

Favorite Family Moment: *tear jerker* Jenna’s dad gave a beautiful speech during their wedding reception at the University Club. He spoke to the important things in a marriage, and listed them one-by-one. Each lesson was thoughtful and optimistic. It was a beautiful speech. At the very end of the speech, everyone was clapping and he appeared to be walking back to his seat, but he quickly turned around, grabbed the microphone, and added a PS: “That list was written by your mother during our marriage encounter when we were engaged.” Jenna’s mother has passed away, but her words were able to make a lasting mark on their wedding day memories. Amazing.

Vibrant Style: Jenna’s bright, beautiful flowers paired with her gorgeous smile made their wedding extra glowy for me! I love the way the light and color mixed in their gallery, and the airy florals and beautifully frosted cake all paired together in a classic style. The PITT campus added a bonus touch for these two PITT grads!

Our Favorite Photo: My favorite photo has got to be Jenna tying a locket in honor of her mother around her bouquet. A final touch before heading to Heinz Chapel. (And speaking of Heinz Chapel – a picture with the classic red doors is always a must!)

Thank you: Thank you for having me with you on such a fun day! Ryan – we found your mom’s extra plate of Russian Tea Cookies, and then we tried them. They were really good! And a big thank you to your friends for being so fun to work with too!
