THE WEDDING OF ASHLEY & TRAVIS
June 27, 2015
The Wyndham Grand Hotel's wedding of the year! Ashley and Travis shared a momentous day with friends and family in Pittsburgh, this June. Skysight Photography previously spent time with the happy couple for their engagement shoot last October. We were so excited to finally see the wedding day come to life. Here are collages of the various special moments that made up their big day. Enjoy!

The big day began with breakfast and a mimosa bar for the bridal party in the Wyndham Grand Hotel's Sky Lounge, which overlooks the Point.

What is a wedding without its bling? The wedding rings and the bridal party jewelry came from Henne Jewelers. The beautiful floral arrangements were made by Allison McGeary Florist, Inc.

Gifts and letters were exchanged before Ashley got into her dress. However, she already had makeup on and the letter from Travis had to be passed around and read out loud by the bridal party so that she didn't cry too much to smear her mascara.

Details are essential to the style of every wedding. Even the invitations matched the silver glimmer of the wedding thanks to Hello Beautiful Designs.

Right before heading down for the ceremony, Ashley and Travis got to spend a couple moments together. Even though they were separated by a wall, their connection was radiant.

Due to the constant rain (which is good luck on a wedding day!) the ceremony had to be held inside the Wyndham instead of the Fort Pitt Block House at the Pittsburgh Point.

An extra special part of Ashley and Travis's day was sharing it with their son, Tavin. His favorite part of the day was riding the horse and carriage.

Come rain or shine, this couple and their party rocked any venue presented to them. We had an awesome time shooting at the Convention Center and the Clemente Bridge. The party bus, provided by Regency Transportation, brought us to each location swiftly, comfortably, and of course- in style.
