Jess and Andrew’s Wedding

Jessica and Andrew have been planning their wedding for over a year.  I met with Jess and her mom last summer when Andrew was still living out of the country.  And I got to meet Andrew for the first time at their engagement photos earlier this year.  Saturday was the day they had been planning for, and everything did go so smoothly.

After getting ready in the morning, Jess and Andrew exchanged vows at the Prince of Peace Church in Aliquippa.

Here is Jess seeing herself as a bride, for the first time.  Her hair and makeup were done by On Location Artistry by Jennifer LaBella.    Jennifer was SO fast that I couldn’t believe it–and she did an absolutely wonderful job.

Jess is so beautiful!

Andrew and his brother (and best man) Alex wait for the ceremony to begin.

This great looking fence was just on the side of the church parking lot.  Check out this great looking couple and fun veil.

Since we had a lot of time for photos on this day, we were able to find some great lighting for Jess and Andrew’s portraits.

This is probably my favorite lighting situation, ever.

Since Jess’ dad is a wedding DJ for T&K Entertainment, their reception announcements (toasts, blessing, and everything else) was so special.

A hilarious toast by brother Alex.

The ballroom at the Holiday Inn is has such cool architecture on the ceiling.

I’ll admit that I was lucky to get this shot.  I happened to be on the right side, with the right lighting, for this dramatic end to their first dance.

If your dad is a DJ, your dance party should be rockin’.
