Emily and Brad were married in an intimate Orchard Hill Church<\/a> ceremony, followed by a lovely dinner at Monterey Bay<\/a>. This was such a lovely wedding, and I’m so excited to share these images!<\/p>\n

The jewelry worn by the bride was her “something borrowed.” The bracelet was given to Emily’s mom by her grandmother, and the earrings were a gift from Emily’s dad to her mom.<\/p>\n

I just adore these images of Sloane, Emily’s niece and flower girl, trying on the bride’s shoes.\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue3\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue4\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue5\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Brad got ready at his parents’ home, just a few minutes from the church.\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue6\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue7\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue8\"<\/p>\n

Brad’s custom tux was complete with an embroidery of his name and the couple’s wedding date, such an awesome touch!

I don’t normally share so many ceremony images in a blog post, but these two were *so* crazy happy the whole time, the love was palpable. Emily and Brad, you are so clearly meant to be together. <3

Love the way Em’s face lit up when the Pastor announced them as Mr. and Mrs. for the first time!\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue16\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue17\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue18\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue19\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue20\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue21\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue22\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue23\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue24\"<\/p>\n

The reception was elegant and just as intimate as the ceremony; the restaurant was the perfect setting.\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue25\"<\/p>\n

It was really important to the couple that we capture some images of them dancing with the city in the background. So awesome!\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue26\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue27\"\"pittsburgh-wedding-photographer-orchard-hill-church-monterey-bay-reception-intimate-pittsburgh-wedding-venue28\"<\/p>\n
