LOVE these two! I joined the fabulous Randi Voss for Katrina and Killian’s Heinz Chapel wedding and Soldiers & Sailors reception. Happy to share a bunch of my favorites from their day…

  • violinist serenades a bride and groom while their wedding party, bridesmaids, groomsmen, family, and friends look on at their wedding reception at the unique pittsburgh venue soldiers and sailors
  • cute flower girl looking at herself in the mirror, with a pretzel, in the bridal suite at heinz chapel, before the wedding ceremony begins
  • bride wearing veil receiving a surprising gift from her dad right before her heinz chapel wedding ceremony
  • adorable photograph of a little ring bearer being hugged by his dad at his aunt's wedding reception at the unique pittsburgh wedding venue soldiers and sailors
  • bride and groom saying grace in a solemn moment during a couple's military wedding at pittsburgh's unique soldiers and sailors venue
  • first dance photography from a military wedding at pittsburgh's unique soldiers and sailors ballroom venue, with ceremony at heinz chapel

Katrina and Killian actually live in Texas, not Pittsburgh, but since their guests were traveling in from all over the country they decided to choose Katrina’s University of Pittsburgh alma mater as the site of their Pittsburgh destination wedding. Since their ceremony fell into Heinz Chapel‘s earliest timeslot, the bridal party stopped at Hemingway’s Cafe for a while before joining the guests at Soldiers and Sailors for the party. I really loved the bride and groom’s playful vibe with each other, and how focused on relaxing and simply enjoying the day they were. You can always tell how likable a couple is by how heartfelt the toasts are, and these were pretty impressive!

As always I appreciate Soldiers and Sailors’ hospitality as well as Randi’s for inviting me along for the day! Best wishes to the beautiful bride and groom for a long and happy life together.
