Two great people are getting married this week and they are sporting possibly the greatest wedding hashtag I’ve ever seen! Meet the soon to be Mr. & Mrs. Matt Slippy who rolled onto facebook this week with their social media moniker #Slippywhenwed – BOOM! Not only is it fabulous, but it’s Pittsburgh fabulous because when it’s icy out – other cities become slipp-er-y but here in Pittsburgh – roads and sidewalks get “slippy”. Enough about our western Pennsylvania verbiage, let’s flash it all the way back to last fall when we met up in Pittsburgh for their Schenley Park engagement photos!
There’s a hilarious story behind this photo. As we’re standing there, (having scaled a small stone wall in order to position Becky and Matt with a bright orange tree behind them) wearing two cameras and with an assistant holding a flash and umbrella set up, a strange woman approaches us and proceeds to tell us how we can really improve the photo that we are taking. She goes on for 5 minutes explaining that she just took her daughter’s engagement photos herself and that if you have the couple really stare into each others eyes and just make the best expression while they hold the ring out towards the camera, that it’s the best photo you can take. Once she stood there and waited for us to follow her directions she approved the shot and then continued down the sidewalk. Nothing like a Pittsburgh mom to want to help EVERYONE. I didn’t mind, I just felt a little perplexed that even with all that gear that we didn’t look like we knew what we were doing? Oh well, a little unsolicited advice never hurt, right? Plus, the shot did come out pretty cute 😉
A stop at Phipp’s conservatory’s hall of botany is a must as part of any schenley park engagement. I told Matt to whisper something romantic in Becky’s ear. Not sure how romantic whatever he said was, but it was definitely entertaining! 
We ended the night at Flagstaff Hill overlooking Oakland. It was a great night and I can’t wait to celebrate with you all this weekend!
