Ella & Evan

I realized that I haven't posted any pictures of the kiddos recently and I thought now would be the perfect time since I didn't have a wedding this past weekend. I didn't schedule as many weddings as usual this year because I knew I would have a new baby to take care of. Evan is 6.5 months old and an absolute angel!



I love those blue eyes, he is so sweet! Poor baby has his 6 month shots today, it's always so hard to watch them cry. Especially when they look up at you, as if to say, "why are you letting this happen? Do something!"



Craig and I have been working like crazy on some new initiatives for Weddings by Heather, I hope to be able to show you something later this week!

Congratulations Maggie & Dustin!

Maggie was a bridesmaid a few weeks ago in Kristie & Mike's wedding and she just emailed me with the news that she is newly engaged! How exciting!




Maggie and Dustin will be getting married in June of next year.

Heather & Michael

Heather and Michael were married in the Hall of Architecture at the Carnegie Museum and held their reception in the Music Hall Foyer. This wedding had so many fabulous details, but I really loved Heather's shoes.


Peonies are my favorite flower!


I loved her shoes so much, I had to put the rings on them.

I think that this is a very classic portrait of a bride.


The detailing on Heather's dress was gorgeous!

I mentioned that peonies were my favorite flower, but right behind them are hydrangea's.

Craig caught this during the ceremony.





Heather's florist did an amazing job, I saw her working before the ceremony and I was really impressed (which is not easy, LOL).

Heather and Michael performed the most amazing first dance I have ever seen.


We were able to sneak outside a few moments before the dancing began.

Anniversary

Craig and I are celebrating our ninth anniversary today! I am so blessed to have the most caring, wonderful husband, every girl should be as lucky as me.

The image below is one of my favorite from our engagement session. Happy anniversary gorgeous! Love ya babe!

Kristie & Mike

Kristie and Mike were married at Heinz Chapel in Oakland and held their reception at the Carnegie Museum. It was a gorgeous day for a wedding, even if it was a bit warm!

One of the most beautiful flower girls I have ever seen!



Kristie and Mike had two time slots at Heinz, which was nice because we were able to take a few more shots than normal.

I'm posting this image by my good friend David Burke just to prove that we actually went to Phipps. Kristie and Mike had rented the room for pictures, but when we arrived it was at least 9,000 degrees. LOL Needless to say, we didn't stay long.


Oh. my. goodness. Kristie has the most captivating eyes, and her veil was also gorgeous.


This shot is obviously from the same series, but I couldn't decide which one I liked better and you know I love details.

Finally, the groom!




Who needs Phipps when you can find locations like this?




I really, really loved her veil.


Two of my favorite things, sushi and big diamond rings. After using the sushi for a prop, I figured I had better eat it. Yummy.


Thanks again to my great friend David Burke for not only shooting with me, but for being my subject when testing light!

Have a great time in Fiji, guys!

Jess & Mike - Slideshow

Jessica & Mike

Jessica and Mike were married at Eisenhower Chapel in University Park and held their reception at the Days Inn, Penn State.




I am a Penn State alumni and it was really fun to see how much the campus has changed recently. If you have never been to University Park, it is GORGEOUS. My brother went to Pitt, so of course we had a rivalry, but all I have say is look at the difference in the bus stop shelters. Imagine the bus stops in Oakland, and now look at the one below... beautiful brick and stone with iron benches.

Jess and Mike are hard core Penn Stater's!


This is my new friend Tina (Jessica's sister and MOH). She loves photography, so we had a lot to talk about!

I love the contrast and saturation in this image.


I just like the way Mike was looking at Jess.





My good friend Pam Kopka shot with me this weekend and she took the image below. I owe Pam a huge thanks for helping me out at the last minute. Craig was scheduled to shoot with me but had to stay home with the kiddos when my mom (the babysitter) fell ill.

Alright, so we had a bee problem on Saturday. They loved Jess (and her flowers) and they would not leave us alone. Right after Pam caught this image, Mike swatted the bee with his bare hands (because he's a man) and the bee ricocheted off of something and hit me in the chest! And I screamed out, "I'M HIT!!!" (I'll pay $5 to anyone who can tell me what that line is from). Luckily, no one was stung.

This is the image that I wanted to capture because I liked the light. And I wasn't going to let any bee ruin it for me. Thanks for taking care of business, Mike.


I think I was channeling someone in this picture. LOL

Have a great time in Hawaii guys!
