A Cheery, Intimate Wedding at the National Aviary

Bethany + Clive

Bethany and Clive’s wedding at the Aviary was the first wedding I’ve photographed at the Aviary since its newest renovation – the addition of the Garden Room. It’s a gorgeous addition to the fun and wild venue, featuring a large room with glass walls and an easy exit to a sweet garden behind the space. Bethany and Clive made full use of that weather-safe interior when a heavy rain changed up their ceremony plans. Since the Aviary is so close to Allegheny Commons Park, we were able to roam the greenery (and visit it’s heavy population of geese) despite the rainy forecast. We also explored the Aviary itself, saying hello to its resident population of over 500 birds along the way. Two of them, a playful penguin and a gorgeous owl, made a special appearance during the celebration’s cocktail hour.
