2011 was a year full of wonderful weddings and fabulous couples, and we were thrilled to end our season photographing Ann Marie and Doug’s big day. We LOVE how we get to experience the changing seasons in Pittsburgh and these two gave us the chance to photograph both a wonderful autumn engagement session AND a winter wedding. We greatly enjoyed both, mostly because Ann Marie and Doug are a perfect match!

In our opinion, they planned an exceptional winter wedding. We started the day with Ann Marie and her sister at the Renaissance Hotel for early morning preparations before heading to Heinz Chapel for the ceremony. Ann Marie continued to get ready in the bridal room at Heinz Chapel while Doug braved the cold (and some snow) for a few pictures outside.

Doug and Ann Marie shared a beautiful ceremony as the sun slowly set outside. The lights outside the chapel beautifully accentuated the massive stained glass work giving their ceremony a peaceful and serene feel.

After their beautiful ceremony, we headed back to the Renaissance Hotel and took advantage of its gorgeous interior for some fabulous shots – safe from the Pittsburgh weather outside. Ann Marie and Doug enjoyed the rest of their wedding day with an elegant night of dancing and live music with their closest family and friends.

Thank you Ann Marie and Doug for letting us be a part of your day and giving us a great way to end the 2011 wedding season! Check out some of our favorite images below:
