Ashley and Ryan’s Wedding at Calvary United Methodist Church in Pittsburgh
I’ve known Ryan for almost fifteen years. As I transitioned into my work as a wedding photographer, he always said he would hire me to photograph his own wedding. “I already have the photographer, I just need the bride,” and now he has both! I couldn’t have felt more honored to photograph the wedding of such wonderful friends! Ashley and Ryan were married at Calvary United Methodist Church on Pittsburgh’s North Side. They wisely opted for portraits outside of the church before traveling to their reception. Upon making their entrance into their reception, Ryan and Ashley cut the cake. Ryan surprised Ashley by cutting it with the power saw that he uses often…

Sara and Nathan’s Wedding at The University Club
Sara is a brave woman. A few years ago, she traveled from Pittsburgh to visit her friends in South Carolina. Her friends had told her they had “met [her] future husband” and had set her up on a blind date. What’s the harm of going on a blind date in another city? If it doesn’t work out, you don’t have to see the other person. But, if it does, like it did for Sara and Nathan, then you’re instantly in a long distance relationship. For these two, things did more than work out… Sara and Nathan were married at Saint Bonaventure Parish. Sara’s dad walked her down the aisle, then immediately…

Lauren and Jimmy’s Wedding at the Omni William Penn Hotel
Lauren and Jimmy were dating when they discovered they had both, individually purchased the same couch. While it is common for couples to disagree on furniture choices, they had independently selected the same piece for their apartments without knowing it. Even though it was a different color, it seemed like clear indication that they should be married! Lauren and Jimmy were married in a ceremony in the Omni William Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. Lauren and Jimmy were excited to see all of their friends from different parts of their lives in one place–family and friends from childhood, college, graduate school, internships, and work! Prior to the ceremony, we took as many of…

Kristen and John’s Wedding at the White Barn
When I asked Kristen and John what they were looking forward to most about their wedding day, one of the things they said was “having fun and just being goofy.” I wasn’t really sure what she meant, but judging by their expressive faces and insanely happy smiles, I think I saw what they hoped to feel. Kristen and John were married at St. John and Paul Catholic Church. They celebrated their wedding reception at the White Barn with a great meal and an awesome performance by The Elite Show Band. It was easy to smile when all of their wedding planning was taken care of by Natasha Brody from Hello Productions. I was honored to have Nicki’s help to…

Megan and Matt’s Wedding at St Therese of Lisieux
The end of October was a busy time in our wedding season! Nicki photographed back to back weddings starting with this one for Megan and Matt. Nicki met Megan and Matt when she photographed Allie and Matt’s wedding last summer. I’ve said it before, but it is always an honor to work for the same family as a wedding photographer. “When Megan called to check if I was available for her wedding, I was thrilled to be able to work with such a wonderful family a second time. With two brothers left, perhaps I still have two more chances! Megan and Matt live in Texas, but chose to celebrate their wedding in Pittsburgh,…
