Colleen and Alex’s wedding day unfolded like a love letter—to family, to faith, and to a life intentionally built together. On a crisp and golden autumn morning in Pittsburgh, they began their day at The Oaklander Hotel, surrounded by quiet anticipation and the kind of calm that only comes when you know you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Colleen slipped into a gown made even more meaningful by her mother, who lovingly transformed her own wedding dress—more than 40 years

Their journey began in law school, with a first date at Miso in Harrisburg that turned into a full-blown Train concert in the car ride home. Singing their hearts out to "Marry Me," Kamron already knew what many wouldn’t dare admit—he had just met his future wife. That initial spark quickly grew into an unshakable connection, the kind that becomes the foundation for a lifelong partnership.
