After Kelsey & Jeff rocked a killer engagement session back in April, I was so excited to get to photograph them again for their Bellefield Presbyterian / Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall wedding. We started the morning off joining Kelsey & her bridesmaids as they got ready at the DoubleTree in downtown Pittsburgh. We’d have the chance to meet up with Jeff once we arrived at the church for their short but oh-so-sweet wedding ceremony. Bellefield Presbyterian is an absolutely gorgeous church and is in perfect proximity to Soldiers & Sailors. Once Kelsey & Jeff were officially Mr. & Mrs., we hopped around Oakland with their bridal party capturing some images & portraits at the Mellon Institute and the Heinz Chapel lawn.
When we arrived at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall, the reception room was decorated perfectly. The centerpieces were a mix of gorgeous flowers and delicious cupcakes, with table numbers in the shape of the Roberto Clemente Bridge! Kelsey & Jeff danced the night away with their guests – a ton of which were their friends they’d met while attending Grove City College. The vibe in the room was a blast and the energy was contagious! Of course we couldn’t wrap up for the night without stepping outside for a night shot in front of Soldiers & Sailors AND pausing for a quick selfie with the photographer ;)
