Are you looking for actual photo ideas or location ideas? If photos, I would suggest doing a google image search. I have gotten so many great ideas by doing searches on this!
The ceremony is in brentwood and the reception is at holy cross in mt lebanon...so south hills of pittsburgh. the ceremony is at 3 and we should be out of the church around 4 or 430 at the latest....so we might still catch a bit of daylight. I was thinking mt. washington and the pillars in oakland but i kinda wanted something different and also an alternate place in case weather is bad. thanks
I think there is a charge for Phipps...$300 or so? not too sure on the exact cost.
There is the Pennsylvanian arch thing downtown and that's shelter for bad weather, but they don't like people taking pictures there. You could also do the skating rink at PPG for some cute winter pictures. Mellon Institute columns would provide some shelter for the weather as well.
I agree with PPG, they have the rink and decorations set up and it looks really cute! Also, the Pennsylvanian has a cover with a really pretty domed ceiling.

How about Phipps? We did Mt. Washington & Oakland but Phipps was our backup location in case of rain.
