Carla and Mike’s Wedding at Soldiers and Sailors
Carla and Mike have a lot of really great people in their lives. They both grew up in Pittsburgh and they’ve made their permanent home in the South Hills. Last weekend, their wonderful families and their extended network of close friends from all over the country (and the world) joined them in their hometown to celebrate their wedding day. They were married in a Catholic Mass at St Paul’s Cathedral in Oakland followed by a reception at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall. They hired a lot of wonderful vendors to help them celebrate their wedding including videography by Fineline Weddings, makeup by Julie of Pittsburgh Makeup, reception lighting by Gray Phoenix, and wedding reception entertainment with…

Marciela and Teo’s Wedding at the Pittsburgh Golf Club
Marci and Teo aren’t Pittsburgh natives. They don’t live in the city, nor do either of their families. But they chose to celebrate the start of their marriage here in the city where they met. Marci and Teo were students at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh when they met and started dating. They’ve maintained a long distance relationship for several years while Marci was pursuing her PhD in Boston and Teo was working in Washington, DC. Although it was a rainy spring day, the rain stopped for just a brief time so Marci and Teo could share their First Look and take some wedding portraits in Schenley Park. Rain was…

Visit to Carrie Furnace
Last month, I woke up one day and wondered why I had never been to the Carrie Furnace site. I’ve heard plenty about it. My neighbor and friend Randolph Harris worked very hard to successfully have it made into a National Historic Landmark. Some of my architecture and engineering friends were involved with documenting the site. I have seen it many many times from my hometown just across the Monongahela river. When I was in college, I took a view camera class called “Documenting the Modern Ruin.” It was a fall semester class, meaning that the weather got colder and colder as the semester progressed. I loved the weather, I loved my instructor,…

Katherine and Mike’s Wedding at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church
Wow! I can’t believe that it is already time for our last wedding of 2011. So everyone take a deep breath and take time to savor it because this is the last new wedding I’ll be sharing until APRIL of 2012! I couldn’t have dreamed of a better wedding than this one to close out such a great year for Randi Voss Photography. Katherine and Mike had planned their winter wedding for the last 18 months. They both LOVE the holiday season, especially Christmas, and they wanted their wedding to feel elegant, chic, and fun. Katherine started the day with her family and bridesmaids at the Holiday Inn University Center. With help from Lisa…

Rachel and Bary’s Engagement Photos at Mellon Park
Rachel and Bary considered many photographers before choosing us to be their wedding photographer. I’m not sure how many interviews they went on, but It seems like somewhere in the 20-25 range. So I’m very honored, humbled, and a tad nervous (in the good way that I am excited to work hard for my clients) to photograph their wedding next June. As Rachel and Bary both live out of town, currently in separate cities, we made some time together on Black Friday for their engagement shoot. We began at their (and my!) alma mater, Carnegie Mellon. After a quick stop to the place where they had their first kiss, we…
