Jocelyn & Ezequiel

Jocelyn & Ezequiel were married at Riverdale Presbyterian Church in Moon Township and held their reception at Pittsburgh's Grand Hall at The Priory. They met while Jocelyn was studying abroad in Argentina and currently reside in Miami, Florida.

I thought the church had some really cool lighting.


Congratulations!!

The bridal party.






I love the mood in this image.

I love the lighting in the Grand Hall before sunset, very soft and warm.

Suzanne & Reed

Suzanne and Reed were married at St. Joseph's in Coraopolis, and held their reception at the Lemont on Mt. Washington. Suzanne is gorgeous, I simply could not get enough of her. Turns out that we both graduated from Penn State the same year. And she was the homecoming queen!! Not surprising, her personality is as phenomenal as her beauty.



I am over the moon about the flare in this image. I was really hoping to get something cool with my 16-35 so I positioned myself facing the sun and viola! Suzanne is wearing a one of a kind, hand-made, custom designed gown by Elima. Stunning.

Looking at their new rings during communion. Image by Craig.

We headed to the West End Overlook for photographs and we had the most amazing light. I love the way Reed is looking at her in this image.


Reed has piercing blue eyes.

These two are so much fun, they were an absolute joy to photograph.





So we went around the railing and climbed down a steep hill to get the shot above, and Craig positioned himself on the ground to get the shot below. I'm not sure how he was able to do that since he was on a 45 degree angle, but good for him!



See how much fun they are?

Their first dance was so much fun and beautifully executed.

I know I've been posting a lot of ring shots lately, but I really love that macro lens!

Have fun in the Greek Islands guys!

Kristy & Matt

Kristy and Matt were married at St. Stanislaus in the Strip District and held their reception at PNC Park. Until I shot a wedding there last year, I wasn't aware that PNÇ has a fabulous location for weddings.

Kristy was adjusting her veil just before leaving for the church.

My wonderful friend, Joanne Bartone, shot with Craig and I on Friday, she took this image before the ceremony.

I loved this church, it was beautiful.

This is a great example of two photographers in action, I took the image above, while Joanne shot the image below. She was positioned behind Kristy as I took my shot.


The wind caught her veil at precisely the right moment!






Matt has killer blue eyes.








Love this image of Kristy on the bar, definitely my style.


Shooting in the city at night is awesome!


A sincere thanks to Jeff and Courtney for the referral for this wedding, I shot their wedding (Matt was a groomsman) last July. They are about to celebrate their one year anniversary, and are expecting a baby boy in September!! Congratulations guys!

Heather & Craig

Happy Anniversary to me!! Craig and I celebrated eight wonderful years on June 12th. We are very blessed with a wonderful marriage, and I thought it would be fun to post a few of our wedding photographs.

Please excuse the quality, these were shot using film in 1999. And I was not as fortunate as my clients to have someone like me shoot my wedding. My photographs are very traditional, I only have a few favorites. But don't cry for me! I have an amazing husband, the best on the planet!









And for the record, long sleeves were very popular when I got married.

Suzanne & Chad

Suzanne and Chad were married at Trinity Episcopal Church in Morgantown WV, and held their reception at the Clarion Hotel Morgan. Look at Suzanne, she is fabulous!!




Suzanne and her sister Christy are very close and a lot of fun.

This is for the guys, they requested a picture with the mountaineer.

This is Suzanne's grandfather, his tux was awesome and he was quite the dancer!

Loved the colors and details.


After a very special dedication to this groomsman, it was announced that the "man buffet" was open. LOL, I am still laughing about that one.


We missed the sunset, but caught this awesome sky in an alley near the reception.
