Jackie & Chris

Certain weddings exude a timeless quality right from the start, and Jackie and Chris' wedding on June 26, 2026, was precisely one of those occasions. Hosted at the stunning AACA Museum (Antique Automobile Club of America Museum) in Hershey, their celebration seamlessly combined classic elegance with a touch of glamour.

Jackie and her ladies, including friends, daughters, and granddaughters, looked absolutely stunning. Jackie herself wore two dresses: an elegant gown for the majority of the day and a glamorous, fun one for the reception.

Chris and his groomsmen were certainly a lively bunch. They were incredibly enjoyable! They all looked fantastic in their black and gold vests. I also loved the Marvel superhero socks!

The Old Hollywood theme was brought to life with elegant styling and exquisite details. Jeffery’s Flowers crafted beautiful floral arrangements that infused romance and sophistication into the ceremony and reception areas.

Their friend Lisa officiated the ceremony and did an amazing job guiding such a meaningful celebration. Chris had tears in his eyes as Jackie walked down the aisle with her son. The ceremony also included personal touches, like a poem read by Jackie’s granddaughter, a song performed by Chris’s dad, and traditional elements such as vows, ring exchange, and a hand-fasting ceremony.

Jackie and Chris’s story began during the COVID pandemic when Jackie, a nurse new to Pittsburgh, was adjusting to life in a new city and meeting people through virtual chat groups. After mentioning a broken doorbell in her apartment, Chris offered to help.

A few days later, he arrived at her door with a tool bag and a nervous smile. “Hi, I’m Chris.” That first in-person meeting turned into a friendship, then a relationship, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Jackie's daughter, a planner at C&J Catering and Events, took charge of both the planning and catering for the wedding. Every detail was infused with love and care! I adored the fact that guests were welcomed on a red carpet.

Jackie and Chris’s first dance was one of the night’s most unforgettable moments. They danced on a cloud, creating a stunning atmosphere and resulting in some truly enchanting photos. Then, the sparklers appeared!

The event was amazing, featuring delicious food, heartfelt speeches, and a crowded dance floor. Ross Productions made it feel like a true Hollywood experience!

Jackie and Chris, I am grateful for the trust you placed in me to capture your wedding day. It was truly an honor to be involved in your celebration and to document the love, joy, and family that enveloped you both. I wish you endless happiness as you embark on this new chapter together!
