Tabetha and Peter’s Mexican War Streets Engagement Photos | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer
Meet Tabetha and Peter. They met at work. Peter was teaching full time at a local school and Tabetha was student teaching there when they met. They had to take some time to get to know each other since the school’s policy did not allow dating between staff members. But love knows no school policy. I am so thrilled to be photographing their wedding this summer at Lingrow Farm! Here are their engagement photos from the Allegheny Commons Park and the Mexican War Streets area of Pittsburgh. Beautiful smiles! Tabetha was a litlle nervous because we were pressed for time during the shoot (and she had taught 6-8th graders all…

Carnegie Mellon Spring Carnival – Midway (Booth)
In Mid-April, Carnegie Mellon students celebrating the academic year full of hard work by working even harder, then having a huge party (called Carnival). One part of that hard work is the Buggy Race, which I was lucky enough to go to on Carnival Friday. Part two is “Booth” where different organizations build a structure to house a carnival game. There is a different theme for Booth each year, this year’s theme being “History with a Twist,” and the Booths are judged in different categories. Organizations can start building the Booth in their garage, and all Booths are moved on to Midway (called “Move-On” on the Friday before Carnival).…

Niki & Rich are married! | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer
Niki and Rich are huge fans of the Pittsburgh Penguins, who thankfully, did NOT have a playoff game scheduled for Saturday. Amazingly, they both mentioned to me, separately, how they had to miss Friday night’s Game 2 because they were busy having their wedding rehearsal dinner. It would have been tough for Niki and Rich to choose between a playoff game and their wedding. I’m kidding, of course! Though it wasn’t as warm as the other April weekends we’ve been having in Pittsburgh lately, it was a Great Day for a Wedding! Niki’s gorgeous dress….. Sadly, Niki has lost some family members, including her father. These beautiful bouquet charms helped…

Carnegie Mellon Spring Carnival – Buggy Race
Each spring, thousands of nerds arrive in Pittsburgh for Spring Carnival at Carnegie Mellon University. Being one of those nerds (and an alumnae), the event has a special place in my heart. Pittsburgh weather for the event is totally unpredictable. This morning, it was sunny and 75F on campus, while right now it is cloudy with thunderstorms. I hope to make it to Carnival Midway later tonight if it is open to see the Booths this year. This morning I went to Sweepstakes, affectionately known as Buggy. (I know you Pittsburgh natives are thinking of the word we use to identify a shopping cart — but) A “buggy” is a…

J.Cosentino Custom Tailors – Pittsburgh Photography
Yesterday I had the pleasure of going to a dress fitting with my friend, and future May 2010 bride, Laura. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a dress fitting, besides my own, so this was very special. Of course, since it IS a wedding dress, I can’t post a preview of how she looked, but you’ll see soon enough as her wedding is coming up on May 8th. Her tailor is J Cosentino Custom Tailors located in the office suites of the Omni William Penn Hotel, and has been for the last 42 years. She found him through a google search for a tailor close to her downtown office,…
