Duquesne Club

Duquesne Club Wedding, Jessica and Zach

Jess and Zach have been together for quite some time but it wasn’t long into their relationship that they realized this was the person they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. They both love dinners out in Pittsburgh, traveling and bingeing crime shows together. They also have one of the cutest proposal stories I’ve ever heard. Zach asked Jess to dress up for a night out on the town and while she was getting ready, he “went to do some laundry”.. and never returned. He left a note for her in their room and sent her on a scavenger hunt, which led to her final destination - Zach, on one knee inside a heart of rose petals asking for her hand. Fellas, if that doesn’t set the bar high, I don’t know what will. ;-)

The two of them were married on a beautiful February day at the stunning First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh with their reception following across the street at the Duquesne Club. Jess looked absolutely stunning in her long sleeved dress from Demetrios and I’ve never seen a groom’s jaw actually drop before! Jess and Zach are incredibly warm and genuine and clearly have a lot of love, respect and admiration for each other. Everyone who took part in this wedding was just full of smiles (and a few happy tears) all day long.

To say I enjoyed myself and creating these pictures is an understatement. And so with that I have created an extra long wedding photo post to share so many of my favorite moments and images from the day! I hope you’ll take a peek! xoxo

Special thanks to Katie for helping to second shoot this wedding, some of her images are mixed in above. And an extra thanks to all the rest of the vendor team that made this wedding as beautiful as possible!

Duquesne Club, Pittsburgh PA wedding, Lisa & Oliver

Do you know what my favorite part is about wedding days? The joy. The plain old happiness that is heartily passed around when two families officially unite. And so I love putting together blog shares because it gives me the perfect opportunity to relive the day and showcase all the love and goodness.

And let me tell you, there was no shortage of smiles and laughs and love on Oli & Lisa’s wedding day at the Duquesne Club in Pittsburgh. From the laughter throughout the toasts, to the way his parents embraced each other, to Oli’s uproarious laughter and the way Lisa looked at him as her new husband. Time and again, I am so honored by being allowed to photograph my couples wedding days and this one is no exception. So thank you, Lisa & Oli, I enjoyed your fabulous day and this wonderful start to your new lives together!

Special thanks to Holly Passarelli for second shooting this wedding alongside me! Some of her images are mixed in above.
