Marciela and Teo’s Engagement Photos at Carnegie Mellon University
Marciela and Teo met when they were both students at Carnegie Mellon University. The first time they met, it was the beginning of the school year when Teo and his roommates boisterously appeared inside of her dorm room to greet their new RA, Marciela. A few months later, Teo asked Marciela out to dinner. She agreed but didn’t realize until half way through the date that he had asked her on an official romantic date. Such a familiar CMU story, but this one has a happy ending as they both really like each other and are planning their wedding for April 2012. We met at their meeting place, CMU’s campus…

Kristin and Matt’s Wedding at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Hotel
Kristin and Matt are high school sweethearts whose relationship survived the long-distance trials of going to different colleges. While they are both from Pittsburgh, they currently live in Philadelphia. Matt proposed to Kristin while they were traveling together in London–how romantic! Kristin and Matt are super happy people who had a perfect wedding day at Saint Mary of the Mount and the Pittsburgh Renaissance Hotel. They had perfect weather and were surrounded by loving family and friends. Their reception held four great toasts and lots and lots of dancing. Kristin was one of the happiest brides I’ve seen all year. She was constantly smiling and brushing off any wedding day…

Tracie and Tony’s Wedding at The Mansions on Fifth
Tracie and Tony met because they are neighbors. They lived in houses with adjacent backyards in Indiana township. Since they were married last weekend, moving in together doesn’t mean moving very far for either of them–they just have to decide which house they want to move into. They had a beautiful wedding with their closest family and friends at The Mansions on Fifth. I was honored to be a part of this wedding day. Tracie and Tony had so many beautiful and meaningful details during their ceremony. I’ve never had a bride ask me so many times if I needed anything or if I ate enough or felt better or…

Kelly and Brian’s Engagement Photos at Mellon Park
Like most of my busy clients, Kelly and Brian scheduled their engagement shoot a few months in advance. October afternoons are hot commodities for photographers, especially beautiful warm afternoons. We were lucky to have beautiful weather for our shoot last Monday afternoon at Mellon Park. This was one of the few colorful trees that we could find. We headed into Downtown Pittsburgh for a few more engagement photos. Congratulations, Kelly and Brian. I’m excited to celebrate next fall with you (and to work with Hello Productions again)!

How to be a Good Bridesmaid
I’d like to think that I was a pretty good bridesmaid. I’ve seen it done a few times and I definitely know what not to do. Some things that I wanted to remember last weekend when I was helping Laura on her wedding day include: 1. Get the bride food, water, drinks, help, and whatever else she needs. 2. Nobody cares about how you look, Randi, you’re a bridesmaid. 3. Divert anyone that causes the bride stress. She’s planned enough things for this day and most problems should be handled by someone else at this point. She should focus on having a good time and being with her new husband.…
