Jamie and Mark were happy during their entire wedding day. An excellent feat since their wedding day was longer than most due to an early ceremony at  beautiful, highly coveted Heinz Chapel. The rules of the sanctuary have been relaxed this year, making some photos possible that haven’t been permitted in previous weddings. We had ample time for photos on the lawn at Heinz Chapel and at Mellon Institute, a place where Jamie spent many hours working inside the building. The wedding reception was held at the Lexus Club at PNC Park which meant that we had an opportunity to take photos on the warning track and in the dugout at…

Last weekend, Kelly and Brian had a beautiful October wedding. The weather wasn’t great, but their wedding was wonderful! Before the rain and the wind from incoming Hurricane Sandy, they were married in a Catholic ceremony at beautiful Saint Paul Cathedral. After a few portraits at nearby Mellon Institute, they rejoined their family and friends in a reception celebration at the Fairmont Pittsburgh. Their great wedding day required a lot of planning and preparation. Thankfully, Ashley from Hello Productions was there all day to make sure that every detail was perfect. Nicki and I were delighted to work with Robert Charles Wedding Films for the first time at this wedding too. I began my day with Kelly, her…

Lisa and Andy were married last week at Pine Lakes Lodge in Ohio. They love being outdoors so much that they each made it part of their wedding vows. Right now, they are celebrating their new marriage with an adventure honeymoon in the Pacific Northwest. For two people who are so in touch with the natural environment, it is not surprising that they had a perfect October day for their outdoor wedding. Nicki and I had the honor of photographing this beautiful outdoor wedding. During the ceremony, I climbed down a hill behind the wedding party so I could get a great view of Lisa and Andy giving their vows. Though I could get…

Karen’s family are wedding experts. Though none of them work in the wedding industry, all 4 of Karen’s sisters and both of Karen’s brothers are married. Karen and Jamie were married in the same church as all of her sisters and one of her brothers. When one of the bridesmaids asked “Where do we go to wait for the ceremony?” another one said “Ask someone in the family–they’ve done this before.” Even though they have all been to many weddings in this church, everyone was just as excited for Karen and Jamie as they must have been the first time they watched someone else come down the aisle. Karen and…

Heather and Patrick went to the same college, but didn’t know each other very well while they were in school. They had some mutual friends and connected later through their unknowingly similar circle of friends. Those friends and all of their family joined them last weekend for their wedding. Saturday was the perfect day for an outdoor wedding. I know that I think about the weather a lot, but it is a huge consideration for outdoor weddings. Heather and Patrick were lucky to have weather comfortable for the men to be in full suits and the ladies’ to be in cocktail-length dresses. Heather and Patrick had an outdoor ceremony on…
