The Luckiest: We Love PGH

January 10th, 2011 @ 12:28 pm by Mrs. Octopus

After we wrapped up our photos on Pitt’s campus, we realized we were quite a bit ahead of schedule. With glee in my heart, I realized that this meant we had enough spare time to stop at a photo location that I had originally planned to go with my bridesmaids, but had to scrap when our photographer got held up in traffic. Yay!

We all piled into our non-fancy-but-functional shuttle van (oh, and note Groomsman/Brother Adam’s photo bomb in the back corner. A love of photo bombing is just one of the many bonds he shares with Mr. Octo).

Our reception and hotel blocks were all on the North Shore of Pittsburgh, which features totally gorgeous views of the city skyline. By finishing our Pitt photos ahead of schedule, we were able to make a quick stop at the waterfront for some skyline shots!

Photos taken, it was time to pile back into our shuttle and arrive at the reception!

(Oh, hey, Heinz Field! Thank you SO MUCH for not hosting a Steelers game on our wedding weekend, making our lives easier times a billion!)

I L-O-V-E PGH! I die for these photos. They make my stomach growl for Dave and Andy’s ice cream and my heart long for the feeling I get coming out of the Fort Pitt Tunnel and seeing the city.

Gorgeous pictures. I am in love.

Beautiful. My little ‘burgh self loves these photos. Also, I don’t think the weather could have been more perfect.

Beautiful!! Nice to hear you were ahead of schedule, I always hear the contrary happening but it’s good to know that with good planning it’s possible to be early and get everything you wanted done :-)

LOVE your pictures! Thought of you this weekend when Pitt was playing a bowl game. Don’t know if they won but I was all “One of the bees got married at Pitt!” My fiance did not care.

Thanks, everybody!

@jess1104: Honestly, one of the things I was excited about was that so many people flew into Pittsburgh for the wedding, and got that “coming out of the tunnel” experience for the first time.
@DianaLynn: The weather was amazing! So unlike Pittsburgh to have such a gorgeous, perfect day….but hey, I’ll take it!
@Megrit: Hehehe! That makes me smile. I will often say to Mr. Octo, “guess what happened on Weddingbee today!” and he’s like, *blank stare.*
