Katie and Dan’s Uniontown Wedding

Katie and Dan were married just over a week ago in Katie’s hometown of Uniontown, Pa., about an hour outside of Pittsburgh. Alex and I photographed this happy couple’s engagement session in Pittsburgh this past fall. And it was great to catch up with them again when we met a week before their wedding to go over the details and schedule of their day. When it came time for the big day, everything went smoothly and Katie was at ease and, might I mention, simply stunning. Here are some of the details we found while she was getting ready.

The portrait of Katie in her robe (above) is by Alex and she is lit by the window light from her childhood bedroom. It’s not often that we get to photograph brides in the homes where they grew up, so this was a really special moment. And here she is, standing by her front door.

Katie and Dan were married at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Uniontown. I really like the style of painting at the front of the sanctuary there. It reminded me of something you’d find in an Alphonse Mucha opera poster. Although, it might be hard to tell in this composite—it’s tough to choose what goes in this blog, so I’m covering the ceremony in one fell swoop. Also, I’d like to note that Alex and I work together throughout the day and his work is scattered all throughout my blog. We each go into the day looking to capture certain moments and its always fun to find moments like the one below of Katie just minutes before she walked down the aisle.

After the ceremony, we headed to a few locations around Uniontown for some portraits of the bridal party. This one is from Mt. Saint Macrina.

And here are a few more of just Katie and Dan. I really love this time of the day when Alex and I get to work with the bride and groom to create some portraits. I think that they had just as much fun as we did too!

We had a little over an hour between the locations, so it was a whirlwind tour across Uniontown and onto the Lakeside Party Center where their reception was held.

Right around sunset, we headed outside for a few more portraits under the beautiful, glowing sky.

And this one pretty much wraps it up, a handsome couple, plus a gorgeous day, equals two happy photographers! (I know, I’m cheesy, but it’s true!)

Katie and Dan, congratulations and many blessings to you and your marriage!
