Angela and Eric are a young couple that met at West Liberty University. They just bought their first home together and were married on a rainy September Saturday. Angela, a speech language pathologist, got ready with her ladies at both Caruso’s Salon and at her parent’s home. Angela’s parents’ house was beautifully decorated and the open concept living room had fantastic light for getting ready. In between rain drops, we did our ladies formal photos out in front of the home and Angela’s dad was so helpful he even cut down a few tree branches on the sidewalk for the photos!

Angela carried a rosary in her heirloom purse and I can tell that her grandmother who had passed on was a very important person in her life. It was also great to see Carolyn, a December 2016 bride serving as matron of honor.

Eric and the guys got ready at the Hilton Garden Inn Southpointe. We managed to get their photos in during the rainstorm as well. Then we all met up at St. Thomas More Catholic Church.

Pittsburgh weather can be unpredictable. Before every wedding, I scout the locations and find a suitable rain plan to keep our clients dry and hair and makeup intact. For this wedding, we went to the beautiful campus of Washington & Jefferson College. Old Main looks great – rain or shine! We came prepared with umbrellas for the whole bridal party and towels to keep Angela’s dress dry, as well as some lighting to make the rain photos really pop.

After portraits, we made the quick drive to Hilton Garden Inn Southpointe to capture the reception details, including the elaborate king’s table. While the rain continued steadily outside for the next two days, the party inside couldn’t be stopped!

Note to the couple:

Angela and Eric, ­­­­­thank you for letting us be a part of your special day! We thank you for choosing Kristen Wynn Photography and wish you a lifetime of love and happiness always. Congratulations!
