Laura and John’s Wedding at Harold Zion Church
Laura and John were planning to have a low key wedding. I hear this a lot from my clients, but sometimes wedding planning turns into what my husband calls “Marriage Hazing” where all of the excitement surrounding a wedding crushes the low-stress wedding dream. In Laura and John’s case, each time I talked to them, they seemed so relaxed. If I didn’t know better, I would have had to double check that they were actually having a wedding because they were SO easygoing about everything. Laura and John renewed their wedding vows in a wedding ceremony in front of their family and friends at Harold Zion Luthern Church in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, where John’s…

Kristine and Matt’s Wedding at Soldiers and Sailor’s Hall
One of Nicki’s high school classmates, Kristine, contacted me last year about photographing her wedding. She requested Nicki to be here photographer and here is what Nicki had to say (and show) about her wedding day: “Kristine and Matt are so lucky. While typically July is one of the driest months of the summer, this one brought a ton of rain. The 6 days before and 6 days after Kristine and Matt’s wedding, it rained! But on their wedding day, the clouds were no where to be seen. They’re not only lucky with the weather, Matt visibly adores Kristine and they are happy to be married. They were married in a Catholic ceremony was…

Lauren and Chris’s Wedding at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott
Like all of my amazing wedding clients, Lauren and Chris said that photography was one of their top priorities for their wedding day. They planned to have a whole hour for portrait photography in between their wedding ceremony and reception. On the day of the wedding, they had to improvise in order to avoid the people (and their cars) out and about in Pittsburgh concerts, events and following construction detours. Lauren and Chris agreed that we should change our plans to shoot at their Alma mater, Duquesne University, opting instead for a stop at Setter’s Cabin Park along the route to their wedding reception. While I am always nervous to…

Maggie and Adam’s Engagement Session at Point State Park
Maggie and Adam met at a work conference. One of Maggie’s colleagues noticed that Adam was interested in her, but Adam thought that Maggie was married to this colleague. Thankfully, Maggie’s clever co-worker (hi, Martin!) sent up a flare and told Maggie that Adam was interested in her. Later, Maggie and Adam were on a series of long-distance dates before Adam proposed at Point State Park here in Pittsburgh. What a perfect place for their engagement photography session, too! I’ve known Maggie in a professional setting for years , her being one of the talented catering managers for Common Plea catering. I am extremely honored that she and Adam chose…

Dana and Drew’s ShotBox
Not every wedding crowd can really appreciate a free-form photo studio set up right at the wedding reception. For Dana and Drew‘s wedding at the University Club, that wasn’t the case! Their guests knew just what to do to make the most of some excellent hats, props, and facial expressions. I always enjoy looking at these photos since I’m busy photographing the wedding reception while this is happening. Cheers to Ryan for his excellent crowd control. And double congratulations to Dana and Drew!
