Nationally acclaimed photographer Joey Kennedy has traveled the globe for his craft, and is often asked to shoot "destination" weddings in exotic locations worldwide. So imagine his surprise when he was asked to shoot a such a wedding in the town he calls home--Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As Joey said, "We are used to
traveling to our clients, but the entire wedding traveling to us was a first!"
Amy Kersting was born and raised in the Bronx, New York, and Bill Farrell hails from Forest Hill, Maryland. Before tiring of "the NYC-area grind" they lived and worked on Long Island, New York. Less than two years before their April 2013 wedding, they moved to the Pittsburgh area, and the oh-so-familiar love affair with the city began. When it came time to plan their wedding, they decided to share that love with their guests. Here's how Amy explains:
"125 of our 150 guests were from out of town so we realized we were, in essence, having a destination wedding in Pittsburgh. We wanted to play up that concept to help share aspects of this city that we have really come to love. We tied Pittsburgh into our design elements with a simple bridge logo and hoped that our venues would further support the overall Pittsburgh feel. Couples who choose to host their wedding in Pittsburgh realize that there is so much to offer guests. People really took advantage of the weekend here. They went to Phipps, the Casino, enjoyed the fun local eats like Primanti’s and Pamela’s and our venues, Heinz Chapel and the LeMont, helped showcase some of the true beauty of Pittsburgh. Even our Pittsburgh-hating Baltimore guests admitted that Pittsburgh was far better than they ever expected! It was all about showing people that Pittsburgh is no longer just a steel town. It’s full of beauty, history and culture and it proved to be an awesome destination for our wedding."
Amy and Bill chose wisely. While there are many fabulous wedding reception venues in and around Pittsburgh, few can showcase the scenic city like the LeMont can...the view from Mt Washington is world famous, and the windows of the ballroom overlook this amazing landscape. Bill Laughlin, Banquet Manager at the LeMont, said "We were delighted that Bill and Amy not only chose Pittsburgh as their destination, but that they selected the LeMont as the best way to show off all that is great about our city."
