West End Overlook Micro Wedding

Madeline and Andrew pulled their micro wedding together in just three weeks and it was stunning!

We met outside the Duquesne Incline for photos before the ceremony. We started in the machine room and then the operators kindly let us on to a trolley for more photos.

She wore a white silk jumpsuit with matching shaw and white sparkly boots. I loved his velvet tux and custom cufflinks with photos of their cat. So cute! Her mom suggested a cascading bouquet. If you’re getting married soon, consider this option, they’re beautiful and so easy to photograph!

I loved their laidback approach, choosing to get married on a Thursday evening allowed for a chill city backdrop. We braved the off-and-on rain atop roof of the Elmer Clark pavilion for the ceremony. They had portable heaters placed to keep guests comfortable and wrote their own vows, exchanging inside jokes before rings. It was so fun to capture all of the funny and heartfelt reactions in everyone’s faces.

After the ceremony we headed downstairs for more photos against the Pittsburgh skyline. During photos dinner was delivered and set up. Again, so convenient, actively suggesting their ideas to my other couples!

We weren’t able to meet prior to the big day but it felt like we were old friends. Having clients I can laugh and have fun with is truly my favorite part of my job. They were so sweet and considerate and sent me home with so many cookies! Thank you Madeline and Andrew for trusting me with your wonderful day. I wish we could do it all again!
