A self-uniting wedding in Munhall, PA with Quaker traditions and personal touches

The love Lillian and Justin have for each other is palpable!! Their friends and family, too. The details and small, meaningful touches throughout the day just added a layer of sentiment that truly made their wedding day unforgettable.

They are both so sweet, silly, and an extraordinary example of true love 🫶

Fun facts:

  • The text for their names is the same as their invitations, which was the handwriting from Lillian’s parents, who both passed away a few years ago. I traced it on my iPad to have it exactly right!
  • The circle ceremony seating is a Quaker tradition, and it was the coolest setup I have ever filmed.
  • Other Quaker traditions include the large marriage certificate that all of the guests also sign, as well as the self-uniting ceremony.
  • They took each others last names as a second middle name.
  • The Piñatas were homemade.
