The Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh stands as an iconic landmark, not just for education, but also as a breathtaking backdrop for romantic moments. Recently, Jenna and Logan chose this magnificent structure for their engagement photos, and the results are simply magical. The stunning architecture, with its impressive stone walls, elegant fountains, and meticulously landscaped gardens, created a Parisian-like atmosphere right in the heart of Pittsburgh. Adding to the charm, the weather was perfect, offering a hopeful glimpse for their wedding next October.
How Their Love Story Began: An Elevator Encounter
Jenna and Logan’s story is a testament to unexpected connections. Five years ago, their paths crossed in a rather ordinary place – an elevator. Both residents of Panther Hall, living on the eighth floor, their initial meeting was a chance encounter as Jenna and her roommate headed back to their room. Logan and his roommate happened to be in the same elevator, and a casual invitation to hang out in Logan’s dorm room sparked a friendship. For two years, they remained friends, building a foundation before their relationship turned romantic. Their first official date was on Logan’s 21st birthday, a memorable occasion marked by a humorous moment when Jenna realized she was cashless at a cash-only ice cream shop. Logan, a good sport, still playfully teases her about it today, adding a lighthearted touch to their blossoming romance.
A Sunrise Proposal on a Beach Getaway
Knowing Jenna might anticipate a proposal during their upcoming European trip, Logan planned a surprise during their annual beach vacation with close college friends. One morning, just as the sun began to rise, Logan gently woke Jenna and suggested a walk. Since morning walks were not unusual for them, Jenna didn’t suspect anything special. However, as they were about to return to the beach house, Logan stopped her, embraced her warmly, and began to express his deepest feelings. In a moment of beautiful surprise, he knelt down on one knee. Jenna was so overwhelmed with shock and joy that Logan had to gently remind her to say “yes!” They returned to celebrate their engagement with their friends, making the beach trip an unforgettable milestone in their journey together.
Engagement Bliss Captured at the Cathedral of Learning
Meeting Jenna and Logan for their engagement session was a delight, especially as it followed their engagement party. The air was filled with celebratory energy. While wedding planning can be demanding, these moments of pre-wedding joy, especially the engagement session, are incredibly special. The Cathedral of Learning provided an exquisite setting for capturing their happiness. The architecture offered a timeless and elegant backdrop, enhancing the couple’s radiant smiles and creating photos reminiscent of a romantic European escape.
The session then transitioned to Schenley Park, offering a change of scenery and a chance to include a very special member of their family – Riley, their adorable dog. Riley proved to be a natural in front of the camera, sitting and smiling, stealing hearts and adding a touch of playful charm to their engagement photos.
Jenna and Logan’s connection is built on mutual support and understanding. They describe how Jenna can always lift Logan’s spirits, while Logan has a calming presence for Jenna when she feels overwhelmed. Their caring, sweet, and nurturing dynamic was evident throughout their engagement session. Witnessing and capturing their love story unfold against the stunning backdrop of the Cathedral of Learning was a privilege, and the anticipation for their wedding day is already building.
