A Romantic, Garden-Inspired Pittsburgh Wedding

ALICIA AND MARK//PITTSBURGH, PA

Nestled in the Schenley Park, the Schenley Park Welcome Center provided the dreamy backdrop for Alicia and Mark’s intimate and cozy wedding. Surrounded by stunning architecture, vibrant gardens, and just a skip away from the Phipps Botanic Gardens, it set the stage for their delightful spring- inspired wedding.

Mark, tissue in hand, was on the edge of his seat, eagerly waiting for his bride, Alicia, to make her grand entrance for their first look. Before the ceremony, the couple opted for a sweet private moment to reflect on their journey to this magical moment. The second Mark laid eyes on Alicia, emotions flooded in. The deep connection they shared was crystal clear in the heartfelt looks they exchanged.

Mark and Alicia’s wedding was like a scene from a heartfelt rom-com! Their vows were so touching, they turned on the waterworks for everyone (yes, even me)! With the backdrop of clear blue skies and surrounded by their nearest and dearest, Mark and Alicia said “I do,” kicking off their next big adventure together.

Sticking to their chill vibe, the party was buzzing with lawn games and fun activities for guests to mingle and celebrate with the happy couple. Laughter, good vibes, and heartfelt wishes filled the air as the lovebirds danced the night away with their nearest and dearest!

I’m forever grateful to these two for letting me be a part of their magical day! Here’s to the blissful duo!
