Jessica and Jullian envisioned a wedding that transcends trends, embodying elegance and timelessness. Their special day was meticulously crafted to reflect their beautiful bond while embracing classic elements that would resonate for years to come. By combining classic elements with personal touches, the day became not just a celebration, but a cherished memory that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Jess' gown epitomized understated elegance, while her groom, Jull, popped a sharp custom tuxedo with an emerald green jacket ensuring they both looked timeless and sophisticated. The choice of attire for their bridal party not only showcased their personal styles but also harmonized beautifully with the overall aesthetic.

The venue selection played a crucial role in setting the tone for the wedding. The ballroom at the Fairmont Pittsburgh provided the perfect backdrop as it transformed from ceremony to reception. The ambiance was enhanced by soft lighting, candles, and tasteful decor, creating an inviting and romantic atmosphere. Silk drape, beautiful white roses and greenery framed the couple as they exchanged vows, creating a serene and romantic setting. The heartfelt exchange of promises was accompanied by a violinist.

The cocktail hour was alive with a vibrant buzz, filled with the laughter and chatter of guests mingling in celebration. We included thoughtful details such as their custom seating chart, which not only guided guests to their designated spots but also showcased engagement photos that captured the essence of their journey together. This personal detail allowed everyone to reminisce about the couple's love story as they found their seats.


Jess and Jull are very family-centered. Adding to the warmth of the occasion, the audio guestbook stood ready to capture heartfelt messages, creating a unique keepsake that would be cherished for years to come. As friends and family left their well wishes, the joyous atmosphere was punctuated with laughter and tender sentiments, ensuring that the couple would always remember this special day through the voices of their favorite people.

Their love story is one woven with resilience and deep connection, having blossomed amidst the shared grief of losing their brothers. Together, they have become advocates for victims of gun violence, turning their pain into purpose. This profound bond was beautifully honored during the cocktail hour, particularly through the poignant detail of a live speed painter. As the artist skillfully captured the likenesses of both of their beloved brothers who had passed, an emotional hush fell over the crowd. It was a moment that transcended the festivities, ensuring that the spirits of their brothers were felt strongly throughout the day, enveloping everyone in a sense of love and remembrance.

The tables were a feast for the eyes, adorned gleaming linens, heavy candles, beautiful chargers, menus, and grand floral centerpieces. The delicate candles flickered softly, casting a warm, intimate light that enveloped the room. As the evening progressed, the atmosphere filled with joy and celebration, each detail meticulously curated to create an unforgettable experience.
