Alison and Paul on the Cover of a Magazine
Good news, everyone! Alison and Paul are featured of the Tribune Review Wedding Essentials Magazine! Wedding Essentials Magazine is a quarterly publication, this time exploring “Non-Traditional Wedding Venues” in the Pittsburgh area. I like the sound of that…. Here is the featured photo from their wedding at the Great Hall of the Heinz History Center last fall. And here is the final cover. So a little different from what I shot, and some distracting elements were removed to make room for the text too. All of the changes were made with my permission, of course. I’m very excited for Alison and Paul too! When I asked for Alison’s permission to…

Michelle and Francis are Engaged
Not everyone getting married in Pittsburgh actually lives in Pittsburgh. Michelle and Francis live in Delaware but are having their wedding this fall at the Grand Hall at the Priory. They were in town last weekend and we caught a break in the weather for their engagement session on Friday afternoon. We started at the Mellon Institute.

Sarah and Sam–On a Boat! And Married!! – Wedding on the Gateway Clipper

How appropriate to have their wedding in Pittsburgh AND on a boat! Yesterday Ryan and I had the enormous pleasure of photographing Sarah and Sam’s wedding on the Gateway Clipper. Ryan began his day with Sam and the groomsmen. Below, Sam and Ruby taking it easy. And…

Balloon Ride in Napa Valley
On Wednesday, we awoke at 4:30am to board an early morning balloon ride through Napa Valley. Well, kind of Napa Valley. We were actually chased out of Napa Valley by thick fog so instead took our flight in nearby Central Valley, where lots of the country’s food is grown. First the “inflation.” We were all careful not to call it a “blow up.” My guy, Ryan. “Gregory the Great” Our balloon, “Victory.” I was obsessed with these cannons and the fire. 315,000 cubic feet of air. The balloon (empty) weighs 700lbs, the basket and tanks add 1300lbs, and the 20 passengers about 3,000lbs to total 2.5 tons. After takeoff, the…
