Destiny Hill Farm Wedding – Amanda & David

This wedding!!! I gush, I am in love with these photos. Amanda and David were married on a beautiful late summer day at Our Lady of Grace Church in Pittsburgh. The reception followed at the always gorgeous Destiny Hill Farm in Washington, PA. Destiny Hill is just a perfect backdrop for a wedding. It is one of my very favorite venues in the area. In Pittsburgh, it’s always a gamble with the weather. You just never know how it will be, but Amanda & David could not have had a better day! It was breezy and beautiful. The perfect August day.

We started coverage at Amanda’s family home. It was so great getting to know this family. There were many laughs flowing as the morning progressed.

These two opted to keep things traditional so David first saw his bride to be as she was walking down the aisle escorted by her parents.wedding at our lady of grace churchour lady of grace pittsburghceremony at our lady of grace churchour lady of grace wedding ceremony pittsburgh pawedding at our lady of grace church pittsburgh PAour lady of grace church pittsburgh pa weddingour lady of graceour lady of grace churchour lady of grace church wedding

The skies were partly cloudy and perfectly blue. We stated off portraits of the couple at the picturesque lavender shack.

A popular trend for 2017 was having bridesmaids in different pastel dresses. It was a good fit for summer weddings. I like the shades Amanda focused on.  Bridal Party Pictures at Destiny Hill Farm

I always suggest couples blocking off about 15-25 minutes usually during dinner after they have eaten for sunset photos. They are always so gorgeous. Mimi, the awesome Destiny Hill Farm coordinator always makes sure we get this time with the couple! Thanks Mimi!
