Duquesne Power Center Ballroom Wedding – Anthony & Kate

I love winter weddings! We don’t get to photograph as many as I would love to have because they aren’t as popular as the summer months, but when we do, they rock! Some of my favorite weddings over the years have been winter weddings. Kate & Anthony’s is now added to that list! Their wedding theme was “Winter Wonderland”. This beautiful Duquesne Power Center Ballroom wedding did not disappoint.  Here are some of our favorite images from the wedding.

Kate’s gorgeous, sparkling, champagne colored gown was seriously to die for. It fit her like a glove and perfectly exuded the winter wonderland vibe.

We headed to Pitt University’s Cathedral of Learning for the formal portraits. It was special to the bride & several of the bridesmaids as they attended college there.

The large red doors at the Cathedral of Learning made for a perfect backdrop for the photos.

Kate had all the bridesmaids choose their own little black dress. That way they could wear the dresses again to other occasions. So practical yet beautiful. She also gave them matching shawls to keep them warm.bridesmaid photos at the cathedral of learningcathedral of learning bridal party photosPittsburgh’s Z Florist did an amazing job with the flowers.Pittsburgh Z floristcathedral of learningWhat a handsome groom!

Neither the bride or groom are a big fan of cake. So they decided to have a donut bar by nonother than Peace, Love & Little Donuts! (MY FAVORITE!)Peace Love & Little Donuts

We wrapped up the night with a few night photos out on the balcony. These two were total troopers because it was about 15 degrees!Duquesne Power Center Ballroom WeddingDuquesne Power Center Ballroom WeddingDuquesne Power Center Ballroom Wedding
