April and Brian | Pittsburgh Wedding Photography

Sometimes for various reasons I'm not able to meet both the bride and groom before the wedding. This was the case for April and Brian, though I did get to sit down with April several times before their wedding. From those chats, I knew April thought the world of Brian. So, it was especially fun to get to see on their wedding day how much Brian loves April, too.

The day started off at the Radisson Hotel in Greentree where April and Brian both got ready. Their ceremony was held at the gorgeous St. Bernard Parish Church in Mt. Lebanon, and later they returned to the Radisson for a wonderful reception of dinner and dancing. It was truly a pleasure to photograph their great families and friends.

April and her mom used this technique to hold back the tears...so cute!

Love this shot Jay captured...


The guys.


OK, I totally didn't tell them to do this...but they though leap frog would be fun...


The girls.


I love it when couples can be goofy with each other.




Hotness.




Ha, I love April's pose!


Again, no direction from me...love it!

I love toasts! The stories you get to hear are great!












Love this moment when they're getting ready to leave...




Congratulations April and Brian!
