(now updated from the past few months). Even though we were technically in our off season the past few months, we have been busy with a few winter weddings and portrait sessions, album designs, brideshows and we even opened a studio earlier this year!! <br />I have to be honest also, it's a lot easier to upload a gallery of pictures to Facebook, heck FB even tags them for me, which is way cool (but a bit freaky!) So head over there if you don't want to miss anything!! Click here -----> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Pittsburghweddingphotography" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a><br />Anyways, it's wedding season!!!! DingDingDing!!! We are SOOOOO excited for this year, and are already full swing into the season!!

After their beautiful ceremony in Ohio, we went across the river to Wheeling for some pictures and a wonderful and fun reception! Huge blog post, because I have a ton of favorites!<br /></p><br /><div align="center"><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr1.jpg"><br /><br />Lindsey wanted a TACKY Steeler's garter, more about that at the end of the post, =)<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr3.jpg"><br /><br />You can never have enough detail shots, (plus they make nice backgrounds in your album)<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr4.jpg"><br /><br />WORK IT Lindsey!!!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr5.jpg"><br /><br />Hello handsome groom!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr6.jpg"><br /><br />Left picture by me, right one by Ben: (and how cute are those kids!)<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr9.jpg"><br /><br />Hello chubby cheeks!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr12.jpg"><br /><br />My angle:<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr13.jpg"><br /><br />Ben's angle:<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr15.jpg"><br /><br />If you ever wondered how to ensure your flowergirl and ringbearer cooperate during the ceremony, here is the answer!! GENUIS!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr16.jpg"><br /><br />After the church we were headed to Oglebay for pictures, I asked Lindsey if she would mind making a pitstop at this fabulous field I spotted behind her parent's house, SO happy she agreed!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr17.jpg"><br /><br />Can you see why I was happy?! One of my ALL-TIME Favorite images ever!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr24.jpg"><br /><br />Ben's shot:<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr20.jpg"><br /><br />My shot:<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr19.jpg"><br /><br />And it was about 98 degrees and NOT comfortable, you guys were absolute troopers!!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr21.jpg"><br /><br />Generally I like my images to be very colorful and vibrant, the edit on the left is how I normally do a black and white conversion. BUT when I looked at this picture it made me think vintage, so I made a second edit and did just that:<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr22.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr25.jpg"><br /><br />So classic:<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr23.jpg"><br /><br />Then off to Oglebay!

Hey it was there, it deserves a picture! Not bad especially considering this wasn't shot with a macro.<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr29.jpg"><br /><br />I know I made the same comment on their engagement pictures, but HELLO GREEN EYES! I SWEAR I did not color pop these, there was no need! Seriously, have you EVER seen eyes so green??!! <br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr30.jpg"><br /><br />Left shot, my angle, right shot Ben's angle. I think he won. (hey he has a good teacher)<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr31.jpg"><br /><br />Same as above:<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr32.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr33.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr34.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr35.jpg"><br /><br />What's that?

Ryan, I however will NOT blog the images of you defacing the towel, lol. <br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lr000.jpg"><br /><br />And after the garter removal, the Pittsburgh Polka of course!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr45.jpg"><br /><br />And one pretty sunset that night!!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/lrr44.jpg"><br /><br />Slideshow:<br /><embed src="http://blip.tv/play/AYKFi3QA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="864" height="510" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed><br /><br />Thank you Lindsey and Ryan for having us!!!! =)<br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6122273955138545217-1457642692535399124?l=joannafassinger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joanna Fassinger Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09829638194252306236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6122273955138545217.post-2768349101090456122010-10-08T08:56:00.002-05:002010-10-08T09:33:50.971-05:00<p align="left"> <a href="http://joannafassinger.blogspot.com/2007/10/danielle-keith.html" target="_blank">Danielle & Keith</a> were married in 2007.

We met up for a SUNRISE engagement session recently, and I think getting out of bed at 4am was totally worth it. In the photography world there is something we call the "magic hour", which is the hour BEFORE sunrise or sunset, where you get this glorious golden light. I had originally asked Nicole and Joe to meet for sunset but it turned out it wouldn't work with their schedules. Not wanting to reschedule and not wanting to miss the magic hour I asked them if they would be up for a sunrise session, and YEP, they made it happen! So excited about these images, I honestly think this is my favorite engagement session ever. Nicole and Joe you have the BEST chemistry, and you make the cutest couple! I CANNOT wait to photograph your wedding next year!!<br /><div align="center"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje2.jpg"><br /><br />Seriously, does it get any better than laying on blanket with your sweetie waiting for the sun to rise?<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje3.jpg"><br /><br />And there's that light!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje14.jpg"><br /><br />And more!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/nje9.jpg"><br /><br />Then off to around Oakland for some daylight pictures.

So what makes this couple so special? Well one, they are both the sweetest nicest people, and they compliment each other so well. And two, Justin was....wait for it.....wait for it...he was OUR wedding photographer!!! Talk about the irony!! So we got married 7 years ago, before I was an official photographer myself, and hired an unnamed studio to shoot our wedding. Justin was a working photographer at this studio, and he was appointed to us. We didn't get to meet Justin until the day of our wedding, but he turned out to be awesome, and was great to work with. (Rule of thumb, meet your photographer before the wedding and hire him or her based on their personality and images, which isn't something you can do when going with a larger studio, so in retrospect, I feel pretty blessed and fortunate that Justin was the guy who showed up at our wedding). =D Fast forward 6.5 years, and I met Chrisi and Justin at a brideshow, and we make the connection that he was our photographer. And their date was literally my last open date this summer, so yes the stars aligned and fate brought us together once again. Not to mention it is always an incredible honor when a fellow photographer asks you to be their photographer. So enough about me, and onto some images of this fabulous couple:<br /><br /></p><div align="center"><br />Hello GORGEOUS GORGEOUS girl! (ya did good Justin!)<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh01.jpg"><br /><br />Chrisi & Justin did a 1st look so we could get most of the portraits done beforehand. I love how they have identical expressions here: (left image by me, right by Ben)<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh02.jpg"><br /><br />Fun bridal party! We had a blast hanging out with them at the end of the reception as well!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/chj26.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh05.jpg"><br /><br />They pretty much knew how to work the camera, I'll thank Justin's photography experience to that!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh06.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh07.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh08.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh09.jpg"><br /><br />And if you thought couples that did a 1st look ruins a groom's reaction watching his bride come down the aisle, let this picture prove you wrong!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh10.jpg"><br /><br />St. Catherine of Sweden Church, modern and beautiful!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh15.jpg"><br /><br />Oh colored light, thank you for being there for this shot!!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh16.jpg"><br /><br />A few more portraits officially MARRIED!!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh17.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh18.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh19.jpg"><br /><br />Justin custom designed Chrisi's engagement ring, notice there are no prongs, I think that's called tension set, VERY cool!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/cjh22.jpg"><br /><br />Chrisi & Justin went to Africa together for peace corps work (correct me if I'm wrong Justin), so they wanted to reflect that in their wedding cake.

Megan is the closest thing to a sister I have, and she also has a great eye for photography, some of you may already know her as she second shoots for me on occasion. Since my children were all in the wedding and I served as Meg's matron of honor (yay!), I was not her professional photographer, but that doesn't mean I left my camera at home! Some of her day below: <br /></p><div align="center"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/meg01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/meg02.jpg"><br /><br />Something old, borrowed, and blue (our grandmother's ring/handkerchief on the left) and some new bling on the right, =)<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/meg03.jpg"><br /><br />Makeup by <a href="http://www.cielcosmetics.com/" target="_blank">Clare @ Ciel Cosmetics</a><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/meg04.jpg"><br /><br />Clare was kind enough to do my daughter's makeup also, =)<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/meg05.jpg"><br /><br />2 very cute kiddos =)<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/meg06.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/meg07.jpg"><br /><br />Ben took this from his seat:<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/meg08.jpg"><br /><br />Happy couple!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/meg10.jpg"><br /><br />Kiddos and me:<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/meg09.jpg"><br /><br />Look at that air!<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/meg11.jpg"><br /><br />And then I put the camera down and enjoyed her reception.

When Sophia and I had our initial consultation she told me that her wedding would literally be like the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". Needless to say I was really excited about being their photographer, and they were absolutely right, the wedding was huge and filled with so much family, fun and laughter. I love weddings like that. =)<br /></p><br /><div align="center"><br />Sophia I know you didn't care about getting a shoe picture but I liked your penny for good luck. =)<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/sbm01.jpg"><br /><br />Both so happy and glowing =)<br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/sbm03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.joannafassinger.com/blog/images/sbm02.jpg"><br /><br />Um, this was the cutest thing ever!

Should I blog my clients? Should I blog everyone, or only the best of the best? etc, etc... While there is no right or wrong answer here and I did not write this to start a debate, nor is this directed at anyone in particular, I wanted to share my thoughts and philosophies on this subject. Me personally, I blog EVERY wedding and photo session I shoot. Reasons are pure and simple, I like to show consistency in my work and that my clients are REAL people who had REAL fun on their wedding day. I know there are some photographers who will only blog (or place in their website portfolios) what they deem to be beautiful people or weddings. Realistic? No. Answer this, if your photographer did run a blog (or facebook page) and didn’t blog you, how would you feel?? I for one would be pretty hurt. So yes, I blog everything, even if the day didn’t go off perfectly and regardless of appearance, nationality, race, weight, age, etc.....because weddings aren’t about being supermodels, but capturing the emotions that made your wedding day great. Wedding pictures should convey the interaction of a couple, their happiness, romance, having fun, and being in love and that, in my eyes, is the definition of true beauty.<br /> Back to the blogging issue, there are plenty of photographers who do not blog. That is fine, blogging is a LOT of work, it is a full day’s work for me to blog and make a slideshow, which is why I personally can’t blog until after all of the wedding pictures are edited vs. immediately after the wedding, and also why sometimes I don’t add a lot of captions or text. But the other reason I blog besides to show consistency, is blogging forces me to CHALLENGE MYSELF and keep things fresh and original. I absolutely do not want every wedding I shoot to look the same, and while yes there are certain poses I do repeat and standard shots I like to get, I like to mix things up as much as possible. Maybe it is a bit selfish on my behalf also, but putting my clients on my blog gets me beyond excited about their pictures and creating custom artwork for them to show off. I consider good photography to be more than just pictures but an art. And a blog is a photographer’s art gallery. =)<br />Other reasons I’ve heard from other photographers for not blogging is privacy and copying. If a client does not want to be blogged then all they have to do is say the word. I have only once had one couple opt out of the model release in my contract. Did that disappoint me, yes, but they had their reasons and I respected them. If someone does not want me to tag them on facebook or include any identifying information in their photos, that can also easily be done. I’m sure Chelsea Clinton’s photographer wasn’t allowed to tag her on facebook, who knows though... Regarding copying from other photographers , a colleague of mine put it in great terms “you're not in the CIA, you're not guarding the formula for Coke, sharing is knowledge”. Places and poses are copied in our market, I admit I look to other photographers for inspiration, and I’ve also seen things I’ve done been posted on other photographer’s blogs weeks later. Don’t brides look to wedding magazines (and photography blogs) for ideas for their own weddings? The photography world is one that is full of trends, my advice to any photographer is to just stay true to yourself and let your pictures covey that. And if you choose to blog, blog everyone (with the exception of something that truly did not fit your style and in that case you probably weren’t the right photographer in the 1st place). And if you choose not to blog, no big deal. =)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6122273955138545217-3703905696510418024?l=joannafassinger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joanna Fassinger Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09829638194252306236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6122273955138545217.post-28862892515076298722010-08-24T21:03:00.003-05:002010-08-24T21:12:10.830-05:00<p align="left">Meet baby Samantha and her parents.

Max was a few weeks early, so I didn't get a chance to photograph him until he was 3 weeks old, but he was a superb little model, and we decided to mix up the session and do half newborn shots, half family shots.
