The University of Pittsburgh has played an important role in Jena and Andy’s lives so far: it’s where they went to college, met each other and fell in love. So it seems fitting that they returned for their wedding at beautiful Heinz Chapel followed by a reception nearby at the University Club.
It was a terrific day filled with love, fun and friendship. I was glad to have my friend Phil Pavely photograph Jena and Andy’s wedding with me. Here are some of my favorite photos from the day:
Andy figures out how to adjust his suspenders – no, he didn’t wear gym shorts for the ceremony:) (photo by Phil):
I guess the tie was a little too tight:
Jena and her dad in Jena’s back yard:
What a great smile!
Andy shares a quiet moment with his best man Eric before the ceremony:

I had a feeling this might happen! In Andy’s defense, Jena started it:

Everybody sang Sweet Caroline and then the party really got going:
