I love intimate weddings and Alissa + Jeb’s autumn wedding is a perfect example of a lovely small wedding. Their wedding took place this past October and was inspired by the beauty of autumn and the colors, spirit, and abundance of the harvest. I love that they wrote their own vows and had their dogs as part of their wedding day also! After their backyard wedding with their immediate family members, they joined friends + family at their favorite local restaurant in Pittsburgh, Bar Marco, for a reception filled with live music, local fare, homemade desserts, libations, and a made-to-order coffee bar. Their entire wedding and reception was shaped by the complete and generous involvement of friends and family at every stage. Thanks so much to Joey Kennedy for the photos and congrats to Alissa + Jeb!
Actually, our most memorable moment began several months before when we screen printed our handmade, poster-sized invitations with our friend Thommy. The wedding really came to life when the colorful invites were completed. During the reception, the photo booth was a great way to engage friends and maintain an animated guest book.

Smaller is better, stay true to your values, and, if you’re blessed with talented friends or family, involve them as much as possible.

What a thrilled to be featured on the best site for creative weddings! Alissa and Jeb are really special people and these photos are proof of their love for each! Thanks Jen!
Love their style! I’m from PA originally and it’s fantastic to see a PA wedding on GWS!!! Joey is a true artist. Love that they included their pets in their weddings!
Love, love, loovvvvee this.
Every detail is so clearly special to the couple’s style. My absolute favorite part besides the one of a kind details and artwork is the couples portraits with their bikes. The lighting is amazing…. So dreamy and beautiful. Xo
As usual Joey is doing Pittsburgh proud with his keen eye for color and composition. Just a gorgeous day all around!
love everything about this. way to go joey!
I like the images of the couple standing next to a bicycle, but they all look amazing to me eye. Joey’s use of light and focus techniques help his images stand out.

Such an organic and intimate wedding, a great composition of photography by Joey Kennedy and obviously a super cool couple. I only wish I were hip enough to pull off a brass band…
