Alana and Daire’s Wedding at the Great Hall in the Heinz History Center
Alana and Daire live in San Francisco, but Alana is originally from Pittsburgh and Daire is from Dublin. I had talked with them on the phone before, but I met Alana and Daire in person for the first time just a week before their wedding day. We met for brunch at Pamela’s in the Strip District to review what was most important to them about their wedding. They chose great locations for their wedding day celebration including Saint Paul Cathedral in Oakland (with Daire’s priest from Ireland performing the marriage ceremony) and the Great Hall at the Heinz History Center. Great venues aside, the thing that was most important was…

Jen and Dave’s Wedding at Longue Vue Club
Jen came to meet with me about her wedding photography with more than a year to go before her wedding. She had attend a wedding that I photographed and was referred to me a second time by one of her awesome bridesmaids who is long-time friends with my sister. So basically, we got off to a great start. Later, I met Dave and we also got along great too since he is a kind and easy-going guy who clearly cares about Jen’s happiness. Jen and Dave chose the beautiful Longue Vue Club for their wedding ceremony and reception. They readied themselves at the Longue Vue Club before they shared a First Look ceremony in the…

Alissa and Mike’s Wedding at Homestead Park United Methodist Church
Alissa and Mike have been waiting a long time for their wedding. It’s not like they’ve been engaged for one year or two years–I won’t say exactly how long they’ve been engaged BUT they have been dating since they were in high school. For them, I think that this was a day worth waiting for. By the looks of their Facebook postings and the talk from their family and friends, their wedding day was certainly THE day they were most excited about, ever, ever. They were married in a very emotional ceremony at Homestead Park United Methodist Church. You could see the excitement on Mike’s face as Alissa approached him…

Rachel and Bary’s Wedding at the Heinz History Center
Rachel and Bary‘s wedding was held on the very same date that they started their relationship ten years ago. Having such a long, rich history together, they had lots of time to plan meaningful details and create traditions that are important to their new family. Their wonderful family and friends are truly the people that helped them organize their wedding day, but the team of professionals helping included some of my favorites in Pittsburgh. Lisa Johnson and Meghan Nunes of Kiss and Makeup helped all of the girls look their best, Hens & Chicks made the gorgeous bouquets, centerpieces, and a very very special Chuppah, and Jeremy Ganss Productions kept the dance floor full all…

Casey and Jonas’s Wedding at the Grand Ballroom at The Omni William Penn
Casey and Jonas love being in the city even though their relationship began in the mountains of West Virginia. Casey and Jonas met when they were in college at the same time at West Virginia University and enjoy spending time in both city and country. I came to know them when Nicki and I photographed Casey’s sister Sara’s wedding last year in June. Last weekend their wedding was held at St John Capistran Catholic Church followed by an amazing reception in the Grand Ballroom of the Omni William Penn Hotel in Downtown Pittsburgh. The ballroom looked incredible filled with fantastic details from Allison McGeary Creative. DJ Bob Hartnett of All Pro USA had the dance…
