The rain didn’t stop Brett and John from having an AMAZING wedding ceremony and reception at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh, PA!  It’s impossible to take a bad photo inside Phipps….the unique rooms provide awesome backdrops for wedding photos.

We started out the day with the bride and groom as they got ready…

Brett LOVES penguins!

Brett opened a special gift from John before she got dressed…

The photo I didn’t post here was Brett’s mom bringing an industrial-sized roll of paper towels for Brett to dry her tears.  HAHA!

I think it’s safe to say Brett cannot take a bad photo…

As Brett got dressed, John was hanging out with his groomsmen and was getting dressed at the same time…

The handsome groom!…

Brett and John decided to see each other before their ceremony, so that we had ample time for photos.  In the photo below, Brett is approaching John…

Okay, okay, so both Brett AND John are notorious for blinking A LOT during photos.  I caught both blinking at the same time, MANY times throughout the day….here a prime example…

^^^ That’s one for the mantle, folks!  HAHAHA!!!

Since it was raining outside, Brett and John’s ceremony was moved inside…

Brett had a difficult time getting John’s ring on his finger… HAHA!

MARRIED!!!

This was hilarious….the little flower girl was adamant about picking up ALL of the flowers before anyone walked down the aisle HAHA!!

Rainy days make for GORGEOUS photos….

I love all of the plum and gold accents at the reception…

Brett must have inherited her emoting skills from her father! HAHA!

YAAASSSS, Brett’s dad!!!

I always smile when I see my friend, DJ Eric Schiemer dancing along with the crowd!!

Thank you, Brett and John for giving me such a memorable experience.  And thank you for being such joyful, happy people!  I love you both!
