Jamie and David got lucky… despite the deluge of rain Pittsburgh has seen over the past couple of weeks, they got a not-too-hot, not-too-cold dry day for their wedding. That’s my favorite kind of weather, too, so I was quite happy for it to be the one to officially start my wedding photography season.

Color of the day: purple. These are Jamie’s shoes.

undefinedWhile I was with Jamie and her bridesmaids, my second shooter Aaron Varga was with groom David at his house. Love the reflection here.

undefinedMatron of honor Lisa. I know that you don’t hire your potential matrons of honor… but Lisa was amazing. So supportive, helpful, and thoughtful. I feel like I want to recommend her just like I recommend other vendors I love to work with. Even if it doesn’t really make any sense… I think she may be a little busy with her adorable 6-month-old most of the time…undefinedHere’s Jamie, ready to get in the limo and go get married. undefined

After the ceremony, we headed over to the North Shore. There were a lot of out-of-towners in the group who were impressed at how beautiful downtown Pittsburgh is. No secret to those of us who live here, of course.

Jamie and David’s reception was held at Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall at the Priory Hotel. As always, the service there was excellent. The service is so prompt and the staff so attentive. undefinedundefinedDavid told me that his brother, Best Man Jake, lives in San Francisco and works for Flickr. Living the dream? undefinedDJ Gordon Slagle kept everyone dancing. undefinedundefinedundefined

Congratulations Jamie and David! I hope you have a wonderful, fabulous, relaxing honeymoon in Mexico. undefined
