The Newlyweds
Brendon and Brooke
Allegheny County Courthouse
A Uniquely Married Moment
On the brisk Monday afternoon of March 17th, at the Allegheny County Courthouse in Pittsburgh, a charming St. Patrick's Day wedding took place. The bride, having the lovely Irish last name of Moore, and the groom, having the Irish first name of Brendon, were married amidst the courthouse's stately and historic architecture. A touch of serendipity graced the occasion, as the photographer, Mr. McMillen, captured the joyous moments, and the officiant, Ms. OBrien, pronounced them husband and wife. The air buzzed with a subtle festive spirit, a quiet celebration of love interwoven with the luck of the Irish, marked a unique start to their happily-ever-after.

The Newlyweds
Stephanie and Randy
Integral Enrichment Center
A Uniquely Married Moment
Randy and Stephanie were married by Luanne on Friday, March 14, 2025. Choosing to elope with a small, intimate gathering offered them a unique blend of romance and practicality. Choosing this route also allowed them to focus on the essence of their commitment and a more personal ceremony, prioritizing a genuine connection. By limiting the guest list to close relatives, they ensured cherished family ties were honored and maintained an intimate atmosphere. “In each other you found one of the greatest gifts life has to offer; love. In each other you have found a loving partner to grow with, to laugh with, to build life with.” These words from their ceremony say it best.

The Newlyweds
Sarabeth and Eric
Old Stone Church
A Uniquely Married Moment
Bells were ringing, hearts were singing as they said I do inside the historic Old Stone Church in Monroeville, PA. The beautiful space provided a breathtaking backdrop for their special day with its weathered walls and stained-glass windows whispering tales of generations past. The couple’s deep appreciation for tradition, chose to incorporate a unity candle ceremony. As they lit the single candle, the symbolic act resonated deeply within the historic space. It was a beautiful fusion of past and present, a testament to their enduring bond, and a perfect fit for the church's timeless charm and the couple’s forever love.

The Newlyweds
Edrick and Lachell
Allegheny County Courthouse
A Uniquely Married Moment
Sometimes, the quietest love stories make the loudest impact. Edrick and Lachell were a picture of sweet, gentle shyness. When it came time for their vows, they opted to speak from the heart, without the aid of a microphone. Their quiet words were sincere and touched everyone present. What also made their ceremony unforgettable, was their bridal party. Twenty energetic and loving individuals surrounded Edrick and Lachell. They cheered, they laughed, they shed happy tears, and they showered Edrick and Lachell with an outpouring of love. Every smile, every tearful glance, every shared laugh was a testament to the deep bond between Edrick, Lachell, and their incredible friends and family.

Issac and Samantha

A Uniquely Married Moment
Hand in hand, dreaming of forever, eloping seemed perfect, Samantha and Issac discovered "Pop-Up Weddings," a dream come true. A beautiful venue, an officiant, flowers, cupcakes, champagne – all arranged. Just show up and say, "I do." Stepping outside their comfort zone, they booked it. As the ceremony began, tears streamed down their faces, joy overflowing. Every word resonated; every moment perfect. Later, I received the best message ever: "Hi Luanne, we wanted to say THANK YOU for making our day so special. You really pulled on our heartstrings with your ceremony, it was so perfect and felt personalized. We could not have been happier with our wedding day! Love, The newlyweds - Samantha and Isaac"

Rebecca and Mike
Phipps Conservatory
A Uniquely Married Moment
Mike and Rebecca blended their family through a unity glass ceremony. symbolizing their shared journey, a blending of hearts and a promise to grow together. The children, ranging from five to eighteen, gathered around the table and took a turn pouring their glass crystals into the central vase. "Just as these crystals can never be separated," I read, "so too will be the bond of your family.” Mike and Rebecca then added their own glass, sealing the union. The crystals will be sent to a glass smith, and the resulting sculpture will be a vibrant blend of colors, and a constant reminder of this special day, a beautiful reflection of their love and commitment.

In the heart of Valentine's Day, in Pittsburgh, a simple elopement took place. It was a ceremony for two, a celebration of love in its purest form. The bride carried a bouquet of red roses, and the groom wore a single red rose close to his heart. The elopement ceremony was brief, simple I do’s, rings, and then a kiss that sealed their union. As they walked away, hand in hand, down the long aisle of Heinz Chapel, they stopped for one final kiss. The choice of red roses for this intimate elopement was a perfect reflection of the occasion.
