Rachel and Mike’s Wedding at the Heinz History Center
Rachel and Mike really have some great people in their lives. They have loving families and a great group of friends. They had a great group of vendors working on their wedding day. And they have each other. Together they enjoy renovating their classic home, spending time with friends, and cruising in their car. I was looking back at my notes on our first meeting together and I have more notes about the car than their wedding day details! The car is a Datsun 280Z that they take to the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix each year in Schenley Park. The “Zipper” is super cool and looked great parked outside of…

Erica and Matt’s Wedding at the Heinz History Center
Erica and Matt planned a storybook wedding. They described the details of their wedding when we met for their engagement photos last fall – their church, black and white wedding colors with pink (Erica’s favorite color) accents, shoes she saw on my website, and the best reception location in Pittsburgh– The Senator John Heinz History Center. Their story together began when Erica and Matt started dating in college and entered a new chapter on Saturday. They were married in a wedding ceremony at St Paul’s Episcopal Church in Mt Lebanon followed by a fantastic wedding reception in the Great Hall at the Heinz History Center. I loved this bridal room.…

Jocelyn and Mike’s Wedding at the Heinz History Center
Jocelyn and Mike love many of the same things. Cycling, the NFL, their families. Especially cycling. They have shared over 5000 miles of bicycle touring together and on Friday, they joined their lives together in a marriage ceremony and wedding reception at the Heinz History Center. Jocelyn and Mike had one of the most personal, meaningful, and unique wedding ceremonies I’ve ever witnessed. The ceremony included all of their family and friends in a bead ceremony where each guest was asked to bring/decorate a bead that Jocelyn and Mike strung together and used in a hand-fasting ceremony. I thought the beads would be cool, but I had no idea that…

Laura and Colin’s Wedding at Allegheny College
Laura and Colin were guests at Colin’s cousin’s wedding last year where I unknowingly auditioned for the position of their wedding photographer. I love when a client can see me in action and know what I’m just the person they want to have photograph their wedding. Last weekend, their wedding was finally here! Laura and Colin met when they were students at beautiful Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania. On Saturday they married on their old college campus in a fantastic celebration with their family and friends. Their ceremony was held at Ford Chapel on the campus followed by a reception at Iroquois Boating and Fishing Club. They had one of…

Sara and Michael’s Wedding
Sara and Mike met in chemistry class during the last week of their freshman year at Saint Vincent College. They had their first date at a Pirates game. I met with them last year near PNC park for their engagement photos. At that time, their wedding seemed so far away…but last Saturday, it was here! They were surrounded by a wonderful group of family and friends for their ceremony at St John Capistran Catholic Church and their reception at Crowne Plaza Hotel Pittsburgh South. I joined Sara at her parents’ home where she put on her wedding dress. She and her bridesmaids just returned from La Pomoenee. Nicki was with…
