Gretchen and Andrew’s Wedding at the Rose Barn at North Park
After working on an events team for nearly a decade, Gretchen is an expert in wedding day drama. I’m sure, like me, she has heard and seen a lot of crazy things at special events. So, if Gretchen is worried or concerned about something related to her wedding, I know that it is real stress of an experienced event professional. After a few worries leading up to the wedding day, I’m happy to report that Gretchen and Andrew’s wedding was a truly wonderful time. They planned how they wanted their wedding to look and feel, and most importantly, how to spend their time together. Gretchen and Andrew were married at the Rose…

Gretchen and Andrew’s Engagement Photos at Point State Park
Gretchen and I met nine years ago when she was working at my favorite Pittsburgh wedding venue, The Heinz History Center. Though she wasn’t dating anyone at that time, she told me that I would be her wedding photographer. She made a point to repeat herself over the years, and while sometimes the stars don’t align for such a promise, they have this time and I’m delighted. Gretchen and Andrew met while working as actors. This photo shoot was wonderful. I don’t want to say it was wonderful because they were actors, but because they were so genuinely happy and gracious. They’re probably great actors too! I’m so excited to…

Emily and Carson’s ShotBox
Emily and Carson freely admitted that they practiced their expressions and actions for their wedding ShotBox. It was time well spent because their light saber battles are stunning (haha). While their guests didn’t have time to practice before the wedding, they were really entertained by the props they chose. Congratualtions again, Emily and Carson!

Emily and Carson’s Wedding at the Mattress Factory
Emily and Carson showcased a lot of personality and emotion on their wedding day. First, they shared a very emotional First Look in Pittsburgh’s North Side. Emily was so excited that I barely got into position to catch a photograph of her approach to meet Carson. Next we traveled to the Mattress Factory for their wedding ceremony and reception. After a group-wide high-five, and surrounded by their closest family and friends, Emily and Carson walked together down the aisle to their self-uniting ceremony. Tears continued through a read of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Same-Sex Marriage, a poem written by their future sister-in-law, and Emily and Carson’s unique written marriage…

Taresa and Nick’s Wedding at the Pittsburgh Field Club
When I met Taresa and Nick for the first time, they said that taking their wedding portraits at Point State Park was very important to them. They wanted to include the site of their proposal and the wonderful view of the city of Pittsburgh. As their wedding day approached, the rainy windy weather had upset their plans. It can feel like a bit of a loss to see your photography plans being doomed by the weather forecast. When we made our final plans for the wedding portraits, we decided to go to the David L Lawrence Convention Center since it is fully protected from the rain and wind. My favorite part…
