Liz & John – Fallingwater Wedding – Reception

One of my favorite things about The Barn at Fallingwater is that the bride and groom can really personalize the space and make it their own. Liz and John did just that with many of the details handmade by the bride.

One of the details that really stood out was the drink used for the couple’s toasts, mead – a honey wine, was made by the bride’s brother. Another of my favorite moments was when the groom serenaded his new wife. It was such a touching moment, John and Liz’s love for one another could be felt by the entire room.

Liz & John – Fallingwater Wedding – Portraits

After Liz and John were officially wed, I hopped into the limo with the couple and bridal party. It was a wild ride through Ohiopyle to the Barn at Fallingwater, filled with champagne and celebration. We made a stop in Ohiopyle to take some casual portraits of Liz and John. This is always a highlight of the day for me. I love photographing those first moments alone as husband and wife, so much joy.

Liz & John – Fallingwater Wedding – Getting ready

One of the great things about being a Pittsburgh wedding photographer is the diverse venues. From the industrial Pittsburgh Opera House to the rustic Barn at Fallingwater, Pittsburgh has something for every bride and every wedding. The Barn at Fallingwater is one of my favorite wedding locations in the Pittsburgh area. It has stunning spaces both indoors and out. Just like Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture seamlessly blends space and environment, the barn and Ohiopyle are the perfect play of coziness and majesty.

John and Liz’s wedding had so many handmade details that really made the wedding incredibly sweet, just like the couple. So it begins with getting ready, then onto the ceremony:

Ashley & Josh – The Reception

Ashley and Josh’s reception was full of more laughter, love and of course dancing! One of the highlights was a surprise dance performed by the groom’s brothers. The couple was in tears from so much laughter.

 

Ashley & Josh – Let the games begin!

In addition to dinner and dancing, Ashley and Josh’s guests could play games around the property including corn hole and croquet. Everyone had a blast! The personal touches continued into the reception, even the cake was made by the bride!

Ashley & Josh – The Ceremony

Ashley and Josh were married on the front porch of his parents’ home. There was no bride’s side or groom’s side, just a gathering of family and friends to celebrate the joining of the two families. After the ceremony I took some time to photograph Ashley and Josh alone in the first moments as husband and wife.

Ashley & Josh – Family Farm Wedding

Ashley and Josh were married on the farm where Josh and his brothers were raised. It was such a beautiful wedding. The couple and their families crafted so many special details, there was love in each and every bit. The day was filled with so much laughter and they joy was infectious!
