Hyatt House Pittsburgh Southside Wedding: Andrea & Erik
Love this Pittsburgh Southside Hyatt House Wedding with the awesome views from Mt Washington, CMU Columns, and Hot Metal Bridge!
Andrea & Erik’s love for each other shined all day and night long! The Hyatt House Pittsburgh Southside provided a great atmosphere for the bride and her ladies to prepare for the day, while the gentlemen took over a groomsmens bachelor pad on Mt. Washington. St. Mary on the Mount held a beautiful ceremony along with providing a beautiful backdrop of the City of Pittsburgh from afar. Andrea and Erik allowed themselves some intimate moments at the CMU columns where they showed their excitement for the day during their portrait session. After a few spins and kisses, we headed back to The Hyatt House Pittsburgh Southside for the reception where Erik’s craftsmanship was shown throughout his woodworkings and various designs and decor. During their reception, Andrea and Erik snuck to the Hotel Metal Bridge to read the personalized vowels they wrote for each other while the sun set over the city of bridges. And once returning back to their guests, lights, and drinks the couple danced the night away. Check out the bottom of the post for the list of fabulous vendors who helped make this picture perfect day happen!

Mellon Institute Columns + Heinz Hall Pittsburgh Wedding Bridal Portraits: Mengqiao & Chenyan
Pittsburgh Bridal Wedding Portraits at Mellon Institute Columns, Heinz Hall, Clemente Bridge, and Heinz Field
The day before this photoshoot, Mengqiao & Chenyan had eloped (you can see more here). And instead of having to rush after the ceremony and leave their guests waiting, we decided to schedule a Bridal Portrait Session for the next day.
I met them at CMU and we did a couple of casual photo's on campus and then they got changed into their wedding tuxedo and grown and we went to the Mellon Institute Columns for some classic bridal portraits.
Next up was a drive downtown to Heinz Hall where they often go for shows and then a few wedding pictures on the Clemente Bridge since we were so close. They also let me know they are HUGE Steeler fans so to finish off the session, they threw on their Steeler Gear and we got some awesome shots on the way to the Stadium and even some right beside Heinz Field!

Alex & Matt went all out for their wedding and I'll try and do my best to share all the little details! The bride Alex is a teacher and went with a school spirit theme. The Ace Hotel worked perfect as it used to be a YMCA and the Gymnasium is still intact. From start to finish everything was kept school themed from the invitation suite featuring a hall pass, to the registration table to tell guests where they were seated, a marching band that escorted everyone to the reception, the school mascot that had everyone at cocktail hour dancing, team pictures with groups of friends, a chalkboard in the place of a guestbook, and even a teachers lounge and lockers for guests to relax at!

Beautiful Luxe Creative Circuit Center & First Presbyterian Pittsburgh Wedding Pictures
Beautiful March Pittsburgh Wedding at Circuit Center & First Presbyterian Church with amazing design by Luxe Creative!
Everything about Andrea & Tim's Wedding was perfect! We started the day off at Andrea's parents beautiful home in Cranberry and got tons of great getting ready shots there and downtown at Mellon Square. Our partner photographer Jamie was with the guys getting ready in the Southside and then did photos at Consol and the North Shore. The ceremony was at the beautiful First Presbyterian Church in downtown Pittsburgh and because of their balcony we were able to get some great shots of Tim seeing Andrea for the first time as she came down the aisle.
Next up were some Bridal Portraits on the Hot Metal Bridge then inside to see all the amazing work Luxe Creative did at the Circuit Center. Make sure you scroll down to see all the great detail they put into transforming the room! Being the animal lovers that they are, the signature cocktails of the night were named after each of Andrea & Tim's dogs and they even had a station where people could take home doggy treats for their pets back home!
Besides that, there was a never-ending cookie table, a custom milkshake bar, caricature artists, and they even transformed the courtyard into a tented, heated, and comfortable lounge area.
Congrats Andrea & Tim!!!
