A True Pittsburgh Love Story | High School Sweethearts Tie the Knot at the Carnegie Museum

Some love stories feel timeless. For Chloe and Jacob, their story began as high school sweethearts—a friendship that blossomed into a decade-long romance defined by steadiness, selflessness, and enduring love. Their journey to the altar was built on years of laughter, loyalty, and a deep understanding of one another. By the time their wedding day arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just a celebration—it was the culmination of a love that had already stood the test of time.

As a Pittsburgh wedding videographer, we had the privilege of capturing every moment of Chloe and Jacob’s luxury wedding at the Carnegie Museum of Art—a venue that perfectly mirrors their classic yet modern love story.

A Dream Morning at The Oaklander Hotel

The day began at The Oaklander Hotel, where Chloe and her bridesmaids got ready in chic robes from Skims and EberJay. Details like her Badgley Mischka heels, stunning Bridal Beginning gown, and elegant accessories from Diamonds Direct set the tone for a day of sophistication and style.

Meanwhile, Jacob prepared for the big day in his custom suit from Surmesur, surrounded by the same friends who had been there since the early days of his love story with Chloe.

The Founders Room First Look

One of the most emotional moments was their first look on the balcony in the Hall of Sculpture. The quiet intimacy of that moment calmed nerves and set the stage for the joy ahead. It’s moments like these—unscripted, genuine, and overflowing with emotion—that truly tell the story of a wedding day.

A Ceremony in the Hall of Architecture

Chloe and Jacob exchanged vows in the breathtaking Hall of Architecture, a space that radiates grandeur and history. The ceremony was steeped in meaning, ending with the traditional breaking of the glass—a joyful nod to Jacob’s Jewish heritage. The cheers that followed echoed through the museum’s marble walls, a reminder of the community surrounding their marriage.

A Reception to Remember

The celebration continued in the Grand Hall of the Carnegie Museum, where black, white, and blush pink details brought their vision to life. Exhale Events masterfully planned and coordinated every detail, while Sapphire and Lace filled the space with florals that were elegant, lush, and romantic.

For their unforgettable grand entrance, Chloe and Jacob waved Terrible Towels to the sound of “Renegade”—a true Pittsburgh moment that had every guest on their feet. From the Radiant Strings performance to the dance floor energy with DJ Andrew Smith, the night was filled with beauty, joy, and unforgettable moments.

Chloe and Jacob’s wedding wasn’t just about stunning details or grand spaces (though there were plenty of both). It was about two people who had built a life together long before they said “I do,” and the way their community gathered to celebrate that rare, enduring love.
