I photographed this wedding for George Street Photography and have always enjoyed the couples they provide, but this wedding was a special treat! If you know me, you’ll know why I enjoyed this wedding so much as you read through. We started with the bride getting ready at Van Salon in Sewickley.

When I first got the details for this wedding, I was a bit skeptical. I had never heard of the park where they held their ceremony and when I checked out the address on Google Maps, I was still not sure of what to expect. But it is a lovely spot along the Little Sewickley Creek. And they made it all their own with chiavari chairs, picnic baskets and champagne. After all, this groom was quite the romantic and I believe they had their first picnic not far from here.

Sweet flower girls…

But this ring bearer stole the show! I’ve haven’t seen a dog handle this role so well before.

Here’s that embrace that I love after they’ve walked down the aisle and think no one is watching. Although, there is a balance of not intruding and capturing these sweet moments, so I snapped a few photos and moved on to capture the guests so that they really could have a moment alone.

So there was the picnic theme and then there was a jazz band that played tunes from the 1930s. The Hot Club of Buffalo was a hit! This really added to the ambiance of their reception at Cafe Notte in Emsworth.
