Pam & Shawn - Morning Glory Inn Wedding Photography {Pittsburgh Wedding Photography}

Pam and Shawn's wedding was the perfect day. Despite being freezing cold outside, their wedding at the Morning Glory Inn in the Southside of Pittsburgh was a dream. I had been wanting to photograph a wedding at this quaint spot that's nestled in the festivities two blocks off of Carson St. While the Southside is notorious for it's never-ending street of bars, a short walk off of the main road leads you to this gem. Having a wedding at the Morning Glory Inn is unique and brings a certain beautiful charming factor to your day.

While they mainly have weddings outdoors in their spacious courtyard (which is extremely hard to find in the area), Pam and Shawn's day was celebrated indoors by the main fireplace and adjoining sitting room. With only close family and friends, we had just enough space to witness their vows to one another. They coincidentally celebrated their day on St Patrick's Day in Pittsburgh, on March 11th, where the streets were filled with party-goers. We were able to snag a few quick shots in front of the inn and then continued with some stunning portraits of the newly weds and parents-to-be (again).

This blushing bride had a gorgeous pregnancy glow as she absolutely radiated throughout the evening! After a few quick maternity photos, the duo laughed together as I directed them throughout the courtyard. It's not that common to see such a gorgeous location during this time of year, so I was extra excited to see how well loved and thought out the owners of the Morning Glory Inn designed the courtyard! The mood was absolutely perfect with the glowing lights accentuating the quaint features of iron rod fences/arches and a large rhododendron plant creating a green space juxtaposed against the red brick walls.

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect first wedding at the Morning Glory Inn! Thank you to the wonderful staff members who served an amazing meal and were so welcoming. I can't wait to return! And congrats to the newlyweds on their beautiful wedding and soon-to-be special delivery arriving in July!
