Kate and Craig’s Engagement Photos

Randi Voss — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 14:14:27 +0000

Kate and Craig are both pharmacists. After talking to Kate on the phone last fall, I was sure they were going to say that they met during school. Which is true. But they met because Craig was living across the street from the sorority where his sister and Kate were members. So they did meet at school, but they met when Craig was “visiting his sister” at her sorority house.

These two are adorable. Kate is a city girl and Craig a country boy. They get along famously and I love them because they share my taste for old homes with character.

We met last weekend for the first time and for some engagement photos. It was a typical early March day in Pittsburgh, which is really a time to make great photos.

I’m so lucky to have the happiest couples!

For this shoot, we were inside and outside the Cathedral of Learning. It was raining outside, but I would walk out into the sprinkles to get some shots. Worth it for the great light. And while my hair looked terrible, Kate’s looked great!

Right after this shot, we talked about Quentin Tarantino movies.

I had a great time with you, Kate and Craig. I’m looking forward to warmer and greener weather in June. Cheers!

Laura and Mark’s Awesome Wedding

Randi Voss — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 19:32:05 +0000

Hi! On Friday, one of my best friends, Laura, got married! She married a lovely man named Mark whom she met on a blind date set up by some Administrators at work. Mark and Laura both work at the University of Pittsburgh. Mark works with Pitt Womens’ Basketball and Laura is a Clinical Instructor and Aerobics Coordinator working on her PhD. They were both nervous about going on a blind date, but obviously, things worked out. Also, the matchmakers were both able to come to the wedding! You, blog readers, might remember them from their engagement session.

I have known Laura since we were 13 and in middle school. She was cooler than me then, and she is cooler than me now! haha Here are some images from her gorgeous and fun wedding.

Laura and her bridesmaids spent their morning at the The Spa at Nail Galleria in the Omni William Penn. She then went to her parents’ home to get ready. I had been to her house many times while growing up, but I’d never been in several rooms in her house as they belonged to her older sisters! Since her sisters are married with homes of their own, Laura got ready in one of these rooms.

Laura and Mark had a “first look” meeting before the ceremony. We took these in this beautiful area next to the church’s school. Laura and I worked on some bridal portraits before Mark arrived.

When Mark came out to meet her, he was all smiles….and so was she!

We had a great portrait session!

The rest of the bridal party joined us so we took all of the necessary shots. After the ceremony, we took a few family shots and headed to the reception. I think it s great when a couple can attend their cocktail hour. Friends and family have come so far to see the wedding and its great spend the wedding day with the people you’ve invited.

This beautiful pin attached to Laura’s bouquet belonged to Mark’s grandmother.

The light was perfect just before they got on the limo bus to go to the reception. This is a seriously gorgeous couple!

Their first dance.

Laura is a aerobics/pilates/yoga/everything/dance instructor and personal trainer. During the line dances, you could hear Laura giving instructions and encouragement to the guests. Mark turned and said to me “Look, Laura is turning this into a dance class.” He loved it.

Now it was Mark’s turn to lead.

My absolute favorite moment of the whole day. Laura was singing “Boom Boom Pow” by the Black Eyed Peas right into my camera. This is totally her personality! I laughed so hard that my abs hurt when I saw this next image on my camera’s screen.

Laura is always the life of the party. She was in a dance-off with Ryan’s brother, Chris when Ryan and I got married. And this one was definitely “I’m so 3008 – you so 2000-late!”

But things were so fun and easy all day! The party went late into the night…..

Laura was so happy at the end of the night! Congratulations Laura and Mark! I love you!

Laura and Mark’s Engagement Session

Randi Voss — Tue, 26 May 2009 02:17:00 +0000

I met with Laura and Mark today for their engagement shoot. They were set up on a blind date by some of their co-workers at the University of Pittsburgh. Their wedding is coming up in September!

They are SO cute!

She smiles like she knows she is being photographed–i LOVE that!

HOT!

I spend a lot of time on the ground during the photo shoot…

Look at this HUGE tree— and the cute people sitting beneath it!

I love this shot. I asked them to climb up there for another photo, but I saw this opportunity!

See you September 18, 2009!!
