Ali & Eric Wedding | Duquesne Chapel | Hot Metal Bridge | Marriott City Center | Pittsburgh, PA Wedding Photography

You’re all in for a treat seeing this wedding on our blog because it’s full of photos of two people who love one another with everything they have. Ali & Eric are one of the nicest & sweetest couples we’ve ever met. We absolutely loved being part of their Pittsburgh wedding day! And they are so very loved by their families & friends. It was special to get to witness the love surrounding them throughout the day; their marriage is definitely off to an epic start & we can’t wait to see what the future holds in store for them!
Ali & Eric were both getting ready for the day at the hotel where their reception would be held later- the Marriott City Center.Let’s just all get the jealousy over Ali’s perfect skin out of our system now. Sigh. How gorgeous is she?!Their ceremony was at the beautiful Duquesne Chapel. Eric’s reaction to seeing his bride walk down the aisle was priceless.She took his breath away.Not everyone’s wedding has the Bishop in attendance & he joked that Eric was close to pulling off getting the Pope there.Their ceremony was full of laughs & heartfelt moments. There was even a really awesome surprise Eric planned for Ali. If you read their engagement session blog, you know that he proposed in St. Peter’s Square in Rome, Italy where the rows of pillars align. He had a replica made of the stone where they were standing during the proposal & they got to stand on that stone to say their vows on their wedding day. Now they’ll get to keep it in their home to reflect on those vows & remember so many happy times.Riding around in Molly’s Trolley was a ton of fun!It was windy & oh-so-hot when we got to the Hot Metal Bridge for photos. Everyone played along with the fun & didn’t complain about the heat. They were troopers.Stunning in every way!Their bride & groom session was short & sweet, but we got so many wonderful shots because their interaction together is amazing.Bettis Floral did the florals for the wedding day.Heck yeah, Cookie Table!The Pens won the Stanley Cup on their wedding weekend. . . how awesome is that?!
What an emotional moment when Ali’s dad toasted the couple. He had us all tearing up.And then Eric’s brother Nick did the same.
Eric’s other brother Ken had everyone laughing.And DJ Steve Maffei Jr. had the place bumping all night!

Ali & Eric, we are so happy that we got to become friends with you throughout this wedding planning process. You are genuine & lovely people we’re honored to know! Thank you again for choosing us to photograph your wedding day! We pray you have many years of joy!
