The day is July 31st and today is Jessica & Scott wedding.
I left home a little early to anticipate for the traffic at the Squirrel Hill Tunnel, … only to find that the roads are empty!
so I got ample time to setup my lights and move some stuff around in the bridal room, scout the area, etc2, and I even got to chat for a bit with Scott Singer Sr, who arrive quite early with the same reason as I was, “anticipating the traffic on Saturday”. LOL
But he got another reason to come early! he was entrusted to drop-off the most important thing for the wedding..
No, it’s not the wedding rings, another guess?….
it’s the BooZe! a wedding is not complete without them. :p
(well, let’s say the rings are the most important, but booze comes 2nd, agree?)
The day is great.. the temperature is in Middle 80s with the sun and cloud altering their appearances, little kids are playing in the park, the adults are BBQ-ing at the shelter.
I know it’s going to be a beautiful day!
The Mayernik Center has been “prepped-up”, the cakes are placed(yummy!!), the tables and chairs are dressed up, great!
One thing that I notice is the center pieces, the huge champagne glass filled with real lime and lemon! oh I love them! I mean.. not only they are so colorful and pretty, they made me T-H-I-R-S-T-Y!.
The ceremony doesn’t start until 5:00PM so I get to take some getting ready photos with them, it seemed that everyone is relax and happy!
(Scott was a little nervous I think, but it’s to be expected, with a bride as pretty as Jess, who wouldn’t?)
well I could go on and on to write up a summary of their beautiful wedding at the Mayernik center, but my role today is not as a reporter, but as their “photo-journalist”, so let’s see the photos and slideshows instead! Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Singer!! have fun at the Riviera maya, Mehico!

Now, I’ve been to Mayernik for several times from 2008, so I have to give a review of this venue:
First of all, the coordinator, Megan.. she’s one of the nicest person I’ve worked with.
she’s very accommodating and professional. go ahead and talk to her, you will know what I mean.
I would be so happy to cover more weddings there, just for the fact that I know I’ll be welcomed by her courteous manner.
now about the center itself: Mayernik is very close to Pittsburgh, just 2 exit after McKnight Road Exit on 279, so it’s just a short drive from the city.
There’s the “famous bridge” built by the boyscout, which is a treat for the wedding party picture. The picture on the bridge alone makes Mayernik worth the trip!
There’s also a playground for children.. some great photo ops there too, but the alley is kinda small to navigate for adults, better be careful when you climb!.
The backyard of the center is big, a perfect size for an outdoor ceremony.
Parking spaces? plenty!..
All in all, if you’re considering Mayernik Center for a wedding, I’ll be more than happy to vouch for them!
