Summer outdoor wedding photos in Pittsburgh

I grew up just a couple of miles from the Succop Conservancy, so photographing a wedding there is almost like playing on my home court.  Besides, it’s a great place for a wedding with a Civil War-era mansion, beautiful gardens, expansive grounds, awesome sunsets and that terrific red barn.

It was the perfect location for Becky and Zack’s friends and family – many of whom traveled great distances – to be together for their wedding celebration.

Becky is so expressive!  I love her reaction to seeing the guest signing book with photos from their engagement portrait session:

Becky’s friend Katie straightens the cards on the escort table.  As someone who loves symmetry, I totally appreciated what she was doing.
