Michelle & Dan

Congratulations to Michelle and Dan on their recent wedding. They had a beautiful ceremony at Grace United Methodist Church followed by an amazing reception at Nemacolin Country Club in Beallsville, PA. The day was perfect in every way. Michelle and Dan are two of the nicest people I have ever met also, and I truly enjoyed being able to capture their day for them. More in the slideshow HERE.

You know I love sun flare:


So cute!




I got poison ivy from taking this photo, it was worth it though.


The bridal party from a different angle.




This is my favorite time of day to shoot, right before the sun sets, you get amazing golden light:






Congratulations Michelle and Dan, your day was beautiful!

My kids

I had the 1st week of June off and spent some much needed time doing some family outings. We took advantage of the 90 degree weather and headed out to Raccoon State Park for a day where there's a beach. It's not the ocean, but you can't beat it for something local.

My 3 kids all together:


Up on the North Side there is a park where the squirrels are so tame you can feed them out of your hand (unshelled peanuts are their preferred treat):


Strawberry picking, Ella helped herself out in the field.

Amanda & Don

Have no fear, all May weddings are in production and will be appearing on the blog soon! May started off with Amanda & Don. They had a beautiful ceremony and reception at The Columbian Room in Wexford. And wow, they had a fun fun crowd, the bridal party kept me laughing all night long, never a dull moment. Thank you again for having me Amanda and Don, and more in the slideshow HERE.

I'm not sure why the ringbearer had the videographer's camera, but this was priceless. Image by Megan:

Amanda told me the flowergirl might steal some of her thunder, I think she was right:


Love this one:


It was raining on and off during the day, but Don went out the night before and bought umbrellas for the whole bridal party.




My favorite groomsman ever, every time he saw me I got a big thumbs up.


Don used to work in theater special effects, so he set up this fog entrance for them:




Bling and favors:




Look Ma, no hands!


Congratulations again Amanda and Don!!
