alana & john | beverly heights presbyterian church wedding ceremony & rivers casino reception | pittsburgh wedding photographer

Alana and John were married on a sunny Saturday in mid-September. You may remember these two from their engagement session last fall with their handsome then-puppy, Lou. We started off the day with a bit of groom prep coverage, and then headed to the ladies from there.

I’m madly in love with these Kate Spade shoes – how gorgeous are they?!Okay, you guys. My very favorite part of this wedding was probably the father of the bride. I’m a sucker for dads in general – but SHEESH this man is probably the sweetest dad in the whole wide world. This image on the left was taken in front of a tree that Alana’s dad planted when she was born, as he did for each of her brothers, as well. The ring on the right hand side was a gift to her from him when she was younger. Guys, I love my family, but can I be adopted into yours, too? 😉 Ah, these details! I was right to look forward to this wedding all year! 🙂Their wedding day wouldn’t have been complete without a cameo from Lou! Portrait time is the best time.I love that Chloe caught John photographing Alana while I was directing her for some bridal portraits. The sweetest.This was one of the most impressive cookie displays of the year!
