I love fall weddings, and Katie & Ben’s wedding was no exception. Katie began the day at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Upper St. Clair to get ready, then we headed to Duquesne University for their ceremony. Afterwards we were off to their beautiful ceremony at the iconic Omni William Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. Here is their story…
“We meet in high school on the ski bus. We started dating after Ben asked me to Homecoming our senior year (11 years ago)–we are missing our 10 year reunion for our honeymoon. We have been dating ever since, even though we went to different schools for undergrad and grad school. We didn’t want to get engaged until we lived in the same state– Ben finally moved back to Pittsburgh 2 years ago. We got engaged last November– after I unknowingly ruined all of Ben’s plans that weekend, he finally proposed at my apartment and we went home to celebrate with our parents.”
Here are a few of my favorites from Katie & Ben’s Duquesne University Chapel and Omni William Penn Hotel wedding!
