Sara & Bill

Congratulations to Sarah & Bill on their wedding! I had a GREAT time working with them and the day was PERFECT! Sara & Bill's wedding happened to fall on Pittsburgh's 250 anniversary celebration, and their reception was at the Sheraton at Station Square which provided an amazing view of the big firework show held that night. And we had a great photo op with the fireworks! Faves below:

Some getting ready shots:


The ceremony was at St. Paul's, which has an AWESOME reflective floor:




Love all the tulle:


I had lots of fun with Sara's veil:






Some reception details:


1st dance:


My competition:


How many people are lucky enough to have fireworks on their wedding day?! The last page in their album is going to be so cool!


Congratulations Sara & Bill, I loved working with you!

Jennifer & Brendan E-pics

Meet Jennifer and Brendan who are getting next spring. I spent an afternoon with them last month shooting their engagement pictures just as the fall colors made their debut. Looking forward to the wedding!!

Cute couple!!


And so in love:








As Jennifer was getting into position for this picture, her engagement ring fell off (ack!) and was lost in the leaves. Total strangers saw us digging through the leaves and came to help, and we found it. Whew though... I think Jennifer looks happy and RELIEVED in the below picture:








Favorite!


And we ended with some sun flare:

Laura & Matt

Congratulations to Laura & Matt who tied the knot at the end of September. I had a great time shooting their day! Same faves below:

Laura coming down the stairs and her parents seeing her dressed:


Laura's dog was too cute not to blog:






Exit out of the church:








It actually rained during our portrait time, but then let up, so I was thrilled we were able to get some outdoor shots:


Laura's only request:


We headed into the WET woods to get these, Laura joked I was making her do a trash the dress session, lol. I think it was worth it though, and she kept clean:








How neat is this, Laura's parents had just celebrated their anniversary, and their reception was at the SAME hall in the SAME room! How cool, so of course I wanted to make some sort of picture of it:


Your day was awesome Laura & Matt!

Monica & Kevin

Congratulations to Monica and Kevin on their wedding! They had both their ceremony and reception at the Hilton Garden Inn at Southpointe, it was a great venue. Monica and Kevin also scheduled about 2 hours with me for their portraits and we hit multiple locations downtown, I was in my glory shooting them.

To give us more picture time Monica and Kevin choose to see each other before the ceremony, I caught him seeing her for the 1st time here, I love his expression:


The bridal party:




Ok, I need to explain this one: The PGH Bombsquad was at the Overlook that day for a festival. One of the groomsmen thought it would be funny if we could handcuff them together and found a willing officer to set this up:


Gorgeous:


I have such amazingly good-looking couples:




A few at Phipps:






Monica is Hindu and Kevin is Christian, so they had a dual ceremony:


I thought this would make a nice spread in their album:


And we were fortunate enough to catch an amazing sunset:


A few reception shots:


Congratulations Monica and Kevin, the day was BEAUTIFUL!
