Kelly and David were married on Saturday at Sacred Heart Parish in Pittsburgh’s Shadyside neighborhood. They wanted their wedding to be relaxed, fun. They wanted everyone to have a great time and not have to wait too long for the fun to begin. Kelly and David met before their wedding to take their portraits so they were able to attend their entire cocktail hour on the beautiful, sunny rooftop deck of the University Club. Nicki and I were lucky enough to be able to capture  these great memories for them. Gida’s Flowers provided the beautiful flowers and bouquets and DJ Mad Mike from Modern Era Weddings provided great music.

Marci and Teo aren’t Pittsburgh natives. They don’t live in the city, nor do either of their families. But they chose to celebrate the start of their marriage here in the city where they met. Marci and Teo were students at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh when they met and started dating. They’ve maintained a long distance relationship for several years while Marci was pursuing her PhD in Boston and Teo was working in Washington, DC. Although it was a rainy spring day, the rain stopped for just a brief time so Marci and Teo could share their First Look and take some wedding portraits in Schenley Park. Rain was…
