Lisa and Bob are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.  They’re very busy people and have been putting the pieces into place for the big day for quite a while now.  It was a year ago that we got together for their engagement portrait session.  All that planning paid off; the pace of the day was relaxed and everybody had a fantastic time.  Phipps is a great place for a wedding, and we were lucky to have a beautiful evening for an outdoor ceremony.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the day:

After the hair appointment, we had a relaxing and delicious (thanks again, Lisa!) lunch at Juniper Grill in Peters Township:

Jasmine Goldband handled the photos of the guys as they got ready.  Later, she told me that they made her curse before they’d let her join them.  Being an experienced newspaper photojournalist, she obliged 🙂

The guys put a lot of thought into their pre-wedding wardrobe choices:

After lunch, it was off to Macy’s in South Hills Village for makeup:

It was a very funny moment when Lisa and Bob’s moms realized that they’d bought the same outfit for their kids’ wedding.  Hey, they’ve both got good taste!
