Saturday July 19, 2014
The whole day was filled with love, love, love. There was mist, then drizzle, but no downpour. A little thunder and at the end of the evening we heard the Pittsburgh Pirates fireworks, boom boom boom.
Jessica and Matthew worked hard on every detail but the weather was out of their control.
Everyone was a good sport and carried umbrellas, one maid of honor wore her boots! I covered the camera with plastic grocery bags. And then it stopped.
It was long awaited for and very happy day.
You can see the mutual admiration, love and affection for one another in these photographs. The wedding and reception were held at The National Aviary on the North Side of Pittsburgh
Congratulations and all the best to Jessica and Matthew. It was a lovely wedding to capture.
Enjoy your European honeymoon adventure.
Jessica gets out of the car. She and used to teach at the same school. She is an Art Teacher in the city.
Everyone was at the Inn at the Mexican War Streets on the North Side.

Great photos, very relaxed and it’s the first time I’ve seen a penguin in a wedding photo, very cool!
Beautiful pictures!
As always your photos are lovely! You are right, you can see the love.
Beautiful pictures Ruth E. Looks like the rain didn’t put a damper on the wedding. Did that penguin photo bomb?!
Beautiful photos Ruth, you have a new career ahead of you!
You captured the day. Shot with umbrella fabulous
Beautiful couple , they look British! Wonderful work Ruth!
The Bride and Groom have some beautiful photos to remember their beautiful day.
I would say this is the most beautiful wedding photo album I have ever seen. Spectacular! and speaks a lot. Thank you for sharing with us.
Ruthie, you did a wonderful capturing their wedding on film. Is that the right term? When I saw the title of to day’s blog I got excited thinking was our Matthew, then I knew better… You would have told me ahead if time.
An absolutely beautiful wedding, gorgeous couple (and all of their family and friends, too!), and stunning photos that captured the joy-filled memories for them and their descendants to cherish for decades to come. Love, love, love is right!
Everyone looks so happy, what a fantastic day. 🙂
Really LOVEly, Ruth!!!
A very FRENCH flavor / feeling. The photo on the lawn with the umbrellas reminded me of Lunch and Dance at Bougival!
[I actually got downtown to see the “dancing sculpture” at PPG thurs evening!] The Wedding Party on the Bridge: Monet’s bridge at Giverny.
I am surprised that no one has yet commented on the Bridal Bouquet toss vs the Garter Toss!!! The girls are jumping / reaching / and probably “screaming” to catch the bouquet. The guys are just standing there, two have their hands in their pockets – and another looks very apprehensive!!! !!!! 🙂 So hilarious!
Jessica and Matthew: what a beautiful / handsome couple ….. and how wonderful to have the memory of the sisters [ hers? / his??] toast ….. how adorable they both are!
Since J and M are going to Europe …. I hope france is one of the countries! Bon voyage! Merci Ruth for sharing this!!!!
what a beautiful set of images
BEAUTIFUL pictures!
Congrats & best wishes to the new Mr & Mrs. 🙂 🙂
