Kelly and Brian’s Engagement Photos at Mellon Park
Like most of my busy clients, Kelly and Brian scheduled their engagement shoot a few months in advance. October afternoons are hot commodities for photographers, especially beautiful warm afternoons. We were lucky to have beautiful weather for our shoot last Monday afternoon at Mellon Park. This was one of the few colorful trees that we could find. We headed into Downtown Pittsburgh for a few more engagement photos. Congratulations, Kelly and Brian. I’m excited to celebrate next fall with you (and to work with Hello Productions again)!

How to be a Good Bridesmaid
I’d like to think that I was a pretty good bridesmaid. I’ve seen it done a few times and I definitely know what not to do. Some things that I wanted to remember last weekend when I was helping Laura on her wedding day include: 1. Get the bride food, water, drinks, help, and whatever else she needs. 2. Nobody cares about how you look, Randi, you’re a bridesmaid. 3. Divert anyone that causes the bride stress. She’s planned enough things for this day and most problems should be handled by someone else at this point. She should focus on having a good time and being with her new husband.…

Friday Photo
Ryan and I are in Minnesota this weekend for Laura and Mike’s wedding. Last night I took this photo (with my point and shoot camera) of Laura with her 4 brothers sporting these nifty shirts. Nicki is the designer and creator of theses shirts. She is also here with us this weekend since Ryan and I are attendants in the wedding. I’ll be doing a bit of photography during the First Look until I don a bridesmaids’ dress and Nicki takes over for the ceremony and reception. Look forward to seeing work from her primary-photographer shooting debut next week.

Ashley and Jim’s Wedding at Greystone Fields
Just like they did for their engagement photo session, Ashley and Jim had a beautiful perfect October day for their wedding. The leaves were changing, birds were singing, and Ashley and Jim were so very thankful for this picture perfect weather. Jim lives in Iowa and Ashley lives in Pittsburgh. After years of a long distance relationship Jim is finally getting his transfer his job to Pittsburgh. Last weekend they married and marked the end of long distance relationship and the beginning of close-distance long relationship. Nicki and I spent the day with Ashley, Jim, and their families at Greystone Fields. We were so happy to be there with them. First…

Casey and Jonas’ Engagement Session in Downtown Pittsburgh
I met Casey when she was a bridesmaid in her sister’s wedding that I photographed last summer. It’s a huge honor to be invited back to another wedding in the same family. That’s the only way that I ever want to have a “repeat client” from my wedding couples. Casey and Jonas met when they were students at the University of West Virginia. Jonas needed a date for an event so he asked Casey, whom he just met just moments before asking her out. Casey turned him down (he was a complete stranger at that point) but sent him an instant message a few days later. Now they live near…
