Emily & AJ // Phipps Conservatory & PPG Aquarium Wedding

// Author: Lauren // 0 Comments

I met Emily & AJ back in 2014 and had the pleasure of photographing their engagement session, which you can view HERE. Fast forward to the beginning of 2015, when they contacted me and booked me as their wedding photographer. Finally now at the beginning of 2016, I was able to capture their wedding day.

The ceremony was beyond touching and the amount of people with water dripping from their eyes astonished me. Not only did they display an incredible love for each other, but they had a room full of people who loved them as well. The whole day was full of real emotion and I decided to create a post just about that – the emotion that I saw between these two.

First, they laughed.

… and then they cried.

They even shared a handkerchief.

Then laughed again. This was a constant pattern throughout the ceremony.

They shared their first kiss…

… then a very touching, long embrace.

On our way out of Phipps, we were able to capture some beautiful images.

Then we traveled around Pittsburgh to a few landmarks for some beautiful portraits.

Emily was more than thrilled when the wind started blowing her veil.

I was honored to be able to capture the love these two share…

It was the coldest day of the year. Well, it was the first day of the year, but anyways it was cold! They put on a brave face, and I put on a pair of fingerless gloves and we headed outside to capture some of their last moments as a family of two!

At least the sun was out and shining. Here is a small look into their cold, outdoor maternity session >>Cassie & Matt Latrobe Maternity Session
