Maria and Matt were married on a beautiful June day in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Maria got ready in her hotel room overlooking the city skyline.

Everyone met on Mount Washington where the couple shared a first look and we took some portraits before the ceremony.

Matt and Maria met at Penn State in their first year of graduate school. He was studying conducting and she was studying violin.

For their first date, Maria and Matt cooked traditional food from Louisiana and danced at a Latino party.

To pay tribute to the two families, one from Pittsburgh and one from Paraguay, every reading during the ceremony was read in English and Spanish.
Maria and Matt also read to each other:  Matt a quote about love and relativity and Maria a love poem, “Rilke,” by Paula Modersohn-Becker.

After the ceremony, everyone made their way to the ballroom where the newlyweds shared their first dance.

The cake candles were brought from Hong-Kong as part of an Asian tradition from Melissa Creedon, Matt’s Godmother.

At sunset, we slipped away to get a few more photos overlooking the skyline at Mount Washington.
