heinz chapel wedding photos

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:

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:
