Carmen and Vince’s Wedding at the Heinz History Center
Carmen and Vince met when they were both working for Fair Trade companies. Carmen was living in DC and Vince was living in San Francisco. At a work event in New York City, Carmen and Vince were the first people to arrive at a work-related dinner when everyone else was very very late. They got to know each other and started their bi-coastal relationship, spending many hours on cross-country flights. Both Carmen and Vince have planned many events related to their jobs. When I talked to Carmen about their wedding, she claimed this event was slightly easier to plan than work events because it was in one language, traded one…

Rachel and Mike’s Wedding at the Heinz History Center
Rachel and Mike really have some great people in their lives. They have loving families and a great group of friends. They had a great group of vendors working on their wedding day. And they have each other. Together they enjoy renovating their classic home, spending time with friends, and cruising in their car.

Erica and Matt’s Wedding at the Heinz History Center
Erica and Matt planned a storybook wedding.

Their story together began when Erica and Matt started dating in college and entered a new chapter on Saturday. They were married in a wedding ceremony at St Paul’s Episcopal Church in Mt Lebanon followed by a fantastic wedding reception in the Great Hall at the Heinz History Center. I loved this bridal room.…

Jocelyn and Mike’s Wedding at the Heinz History Center
Jocelyn and Mike love many of the same things. Cycling, the NFL, their families. Especially cycling. They have shared over 5000 miles of bicycle touring together and on Friday, they joined their lives together in a marriage ceremony and wedding reception at the Heinz History Center. Jocelyn and Mike had one of the most personal, meaningful, and unique wedding ceremonies I’ve ever witnessed. The ceremony included all of their family and friends in a bead ceremony where each guest was asked to bring/decorate a bead that Jocelyn and Mike strung together and used in a hand-fasting ceremony. I thought the beads would be cool, but I had no idea that…
