alyson & cameron | pittsburgh opera house wedding ceremony & reception | pgh wedding photography

Alyson and Cameron couldn’t have had a more beautiful wedding day! These two tied the knot at the end of July, and we lucked out with a gorgeous and sunny summer day.Not only did the couple opt for an unplugged ceremony, but they even gave me a little shout out! 🙂 You guys are seriously the best!! <3 The Pittsburgh Opera House is such a unique wedding venue – we just love this space.We ducked out during cocktail hour for some wedding party portraits at the Mellon Park Walled Garden – I could’ve spent hours here photographing Alyson & Cameron – they’re such an amazing couple to work with!This shot below was supposed to be a test shot, but I happened to really love their expressions, so it was a keeper! 🙂 So. Much. Joy. Alyson’s smiles are contagious in these!The party bus with this crew was a blast – I’m so glad we got some photos of them celebrating on our way to and from the photo location!One of my very favorite touches of this wedding was the favor these two put together. How adorable are these coffee bean bags?!
The ceremony space was flipped to become the reception space, and it did not disappoint!I love when our couples are SO stinkin’ cute together, even when they’re caught off guard 🙂Congratulations to you, Mr. & Mrs. Fortner! We wish you a lifetime of happiness together!. . .
