Lou and Jessica got married on a beautiful fall day!  It was definitely a nice break from the rainy weather we’d been having.  I arrived nice and early at their home to photograph Jess and the girls.  Jess’s dress looked really cool hanging in the window.  Usually, the dresses are too think for the light to shine through.  It was great to be able to see some of the lace detail.

The guys popped over for a bit so I could take some shots of them before the ceremony.  Lou was awesome.  I didn’t even have to tell him to change positions or look here or there.  He was going through the moves.  It was great.  Usually the grooms would rather NOT be getting their picture taken- ha ha =)

Soon after the guys split so Jess could get dressed.  I took her in the backyard and took some photo’s of her on the bench that Lou had proposed to her on.  It was important for them to incorporate that into the images.  And, check out the picture of Jess’s tattoo.  Lou designed it for her.  If you look closely you can see that it’s all letters.  It’s Jess’s maiden name.  How cool is that?!?

The ceremony was very nice and emotional.  Fortunately, the church was right across from a park in the North Side.  After pictures in the church we headed over there for some bridal party shots.  These groomsmen were definitely in the spirit.  Take a look at some of them posing.  Hilarious.  The bridemaids were fabulous as usual =)

The reception was help at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association.  Definitely one of my favorite venues.

Thanks to Lou and Jessica for selecting me to photograph their special day.
