Merry Christmas!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year from my family to yours!



And yes I am a dork who makes my kids wear matching clothes. =)

Valerie & Scott

Congratulations to Valerie and Scott on their recent wedding. They had a beautiful ceremony at Heinz Chapel, followed by a great reception at Fox Chapel's Racquet Club. These 2 are so in love and so easy going also, they made my job really easy. I truly enjoyed spending your day with you! Thank you for having me and Merry Christmas!! And of course a slideshow HERE.



Valerie is GORGEOUS.


Heinz Chapel is amazing inside, I love working there.

(maybe my favorite image) I caught them admiring the rings during a slowdance:

Mandee & Jim

Congratulations to Mandee and Jim on their wedding. They had a beautiful ceremony and reception at The Candlelight Room in Washington, and we took a run over to beautiful Mingo Park to take some portraits on one of the historic covered bridges. You both are beautiful, thank you for having me, and click HERE for their slideshow!


I always love finding creative things to do with the rings.

Mandee is a beauty, I love her look and style.


Mandee's daughters, I love capturing what the kids are doing during the ceremony.








Love this last one!

Amanda & Don E-pics

I spent one of the last nice days of the year with Amanda and Don shooting their engagement session. These guys are alot of fun and I love how they joke and interact with each other. I'm very excited for their upcoming wedding in May, they have some very cool things planned for their big day. See you in the Spring, can't wait!




Amanda had a lot of great ideas for playground shots, these are a few of my favorites.




I found a muddy puddle and got somewhat of a reflection.

Nicole & Mike

Congratulations to Nicole and Mike. They had a beautiful beautiful day, and from the moment I arrived they made me feel like part of the family. I really enjoyed working with you guys and capturing your day. Thank you for having me, hugs hugs hugs!! And click HERE for their slideshow!




Nicole had an awesome florist April from Mocha Rose. April actually had the same gown as Nicole for her own wedding and used part of it to wrap Nicole's bouquet. Now that is going above and beyond.

I caught Nicole doing the "we're married" dance after they walked up the aisle.



I had lots of fun with the sun that day.






Nicole you crack me up!

Megan & Doug

I am behind in everything here, blogging included, but October 14th took me to Megan and Doug's wedding. For it being the middle of fall, some of our pictures look very summery, due to the late changing season, but still beautiful non-the-less. Megan choose such great colors for their wedding too, from the dresses down to the flowers, everything coordinated so well. And the day was fun, these guys really enjoyed themselves. You can see more in their slideshow HERE. Thank you Megan and Doug for having me and congratulations!


I love all the details:




Another jumping bridal party, fun!! The groomsman in the rear left, wow, look at the split!

I love Megan's expression here, I wonder what Doug said to her.

Love this one:

Same image but with selective coloring, I am a big fan of this effect. I thought this picture would make a cool Xmas card.

They are sooo cute.





The kids were reacting to something the Dj said. Their expressions are PRICELESS.

Heidi & Jim from September. It was great seeing you guys again!
