Fairmont Pittsburgh Wedding
Diane and Rick’s Fairmont Pittsburgh Wedding:
Rick and Diane had their wedding in the late spring. We returned to the beautiful Fairmont Pittsburgh hotel for the second weekend in a row. It’s a great place as is St. Mary of the Mount, where they had their ceremony.
Getting Ready for the Day
Diane gets ready with the help of her bridesmaids.
Her parents Mike and Peg look on.
Diane’s maid of honor (and sister) Sarah helps her put her shoes on.
Such a beautiful bride!
Some details, include Louboutin shoes for her and mis-matched socks for him.
The guys had some refreshments before heading over to the church (Lisa’s photo).
Like any good husband, Rick knows how to follow directions. Like any good wife, Diane knows how to give them (Lisa’s photo).
St. Mary of the Mount
Rick and his mom share a moment outside of the church (Lisa’s photo).
I don’t know who looks happier, Diane or Mike?
Rick had tears in his eyes as he saw them walking towards him (Lisa’s photo).
You never know how the handoff is going to go at the front of the church. This was a really nice moment.
Portraits Around Pittsburgh
Really, it’s not that difficult 😀
Bridal party photo on the water steps near PNC Park.
We went over to the walkway underneath the D.L. Lawrence Convention Center for some photos. Intense sunlight can make doing portraits in the middle of the day difficult, but the light was beautiful there.
Rick’s turn.
Back on the limousine bus, the party was in full swing.
We took a few moments for portraits in the lobby of the Fairmont before the cocktail hour.
Reception in the Fairmont’s Grand Ballroom
Some details from the reception.

First dance in the Fairmont Hotel ballroom.
It was very sweet to see Diane’s reaction to Rick and his mom dancing together.
Diane’s grandfather is a LOT of fun. He was on the dance floor for the whole evening.
This was great. Mike and his brothers cleared out a space on the dance floor, got in a circle, and ran towards each other.
I love the reaction of the other guests!
Dancing.
These lighted foam sticks were Rick’s idea. The guests loved them!
Bouquet toss.
Sarah grabbed it.
The garter toss was hotly contested (Lisa’s photo).
Rick and his guys.
Diane and her bridesmaids (Lisa’s photo).
Rick and Diane’s dog made an appearance. I don’t think he knew what to make of the celebration.
Last dance.
This Fairmont Pittsburgh Wedding was such a great celebration! Here’s another wedding you’ll enjoy.
