We’ve had the opportunity to get to know Becky & Matt quite a bit over the past year through Facebook and several visits to Pittsburgh. In fact, Matt lives in the same town that I went to high school! On our last trip before their wedding, we got to spend a few hours with them shooting engagement photos in downtown Pittsburgh!

As the days kept counting down to the big day, we got more and more excited to see them again! Becky and Matt held their wedding at St. Scholastica Catholic Church. Officiating the ceremony was Father Frank, who was the cousin of Becky’s mom. He infused some light humor into the ceremony, setting the tone for happiness throughout the rest of the day.

After the ceremony, Becky, Matt, and the wedding party climbed aboard one of Molly’s Trolleys for a ride around town for group shots and couple shots. Our first stop was Mt Washington, with its amazing view of downtown Pittsburgh. We also stopped for some wedding photos at Carnegie Mellon University with it’s beautiful column, which make for very classic photos.

Becky and Matt held their wedding reception at Longvue Country Club, a historic landmark recognized by the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation. Its beautiful stonework, a wide open patio area, an intimate sitting area for the cocktail hour, and gorgeous and expansive main reception hall made it a perfect setting for an intimate evening!

Guests were entertained throughout the evening with live music by the John Parker Band. The dance floor was never empty and Becky and Matt were always in the middle of the action. But it was Matt’s serenading of Becky with “Take Me Home Tonight”, which he is apparently infamous for singing karaoke-style, that stole the show. It helped take the celebration to a whole-new level and will probably be one of the more enduring images of the reception. It was definitely one of our favorite reception moments EVER! You rock, Matt!

Such a beautiful occasion to celebrate a truly wonderful couple! Through what we’ve seen of them firsthand and the testimony through friends and family giving toasts at the reception, we know that we were really lucky to be part of such a special day! And now we have two more friends in the Pittsburgh area to visit when we go up there!

Much love and happiness to you both! : )
