Hannah and Alex’s Wedding at The Circuit Center Ballroom
Hannah and Alex met while dancing — but not dancing at a wedding or a nightclub. They were both members of swing dancing and ballroom dancing clubs. Not only do they have fantastic dance moves, but their wedding party was full of excellent dancers too. When they were planning their wedding, they chose their reception location, The Circuit Center, because of the large dance floor. Hannah and Alex were married in the absolutely beautiful Smithfield United Church of Christ on Smithfield Street in downtown Pittsburgh. The church is amazing–full of Germanic Gothic Architecture. It’s obvious why Hannah had dreamed of being married there since she first visited the church a…

Heather and Jonathan’s Wedding at Heinz History Center and Pittsburgh Opera
Heather and Jonathan live in Boston but they both grew up in Pittsburgh. Their families live in Pittsburgh so they decided to return for their non-traditional, industrial-looking wedding last weekend. I was so honored to be a part of this unique event full of happy, excited people! Nicki and I spent a few minutes setting up the First Look where Heather and Jonathan would see each other for the first time on their wedding day. As soon as we gestured for Heather to move towards Jonathan, she sprinted towards him as I barely had time to get in position for my shot. She moved fast in those wedding shoes! When…

Allie and Matt’s Wedding at St Therese of Lisieux
Earlier this year, I learned that Nicki’s friend, Allie, was getting married and that Nicki was going to be her wedding photographer. While I was distraught that I would be losing my second shooter for one Saturday in June, I was thrilled that she would be fully in charge photography on a wedding day. Today I’m sharing Allie’s wedding photos on Nicki’s behalf. While I wasn’t at this wedding, I think it’s a great opportunity for me to showcase Nicki’s incredible talent and you can see the reason I love having her with me when I photograph a wedding. “Matt and Allie met in Oakland while attending college at the…

Leah and Bart’s Wedding at Pittsburgh Marriott North in Cranberry
Leah and Bart were in each other’s lives from an early age, but neither of them knew it. They went to the same school and were members at the same country club, but they weren’t introduced until they had some mutual friends in college. They are both so kind and patient and it’s easy to see how they get along so well. Their wedding ceremony as held at St. Ferdinand Catholic Church. Before the ceremony was the first time I met a very nervous Bart. Thankfully, when the ceremony was over and he was married to Leah, he instantly relaxed and his expressions changed completely for the rest of the day.…

Sarah and Matt’s Engagement Photos at Carnegie Mellon University
I love the story of how Sarah and Matt met. Probably because it is the opposite of the story of how I met my husband (college guy notices college girl and chooses a class project group to try to meet her). In Sarah and Matt’s case, Sarah noticed Matt in one of her classes. She thought that he had a nice smile and he preferred to sit in the back of the classroom. Next time they had class, she sat in the back of the classroom and like clockwork, Matt came to sit in his usual spot. They met there in class and sparks flew when they saw each other…
