Erin & Mike

Erin and Mike were married at the Duquesne University Chapel and held their reception at the Carnegie Music Hall Foyer. You may remember Erin and Mike from their engagement experience earlier this year.

I liked the shoes, the chandelier and the red wall, so I brought them all together.

These three ladies are the BEST, you may recognize Erin's mom, Deb, I shot her anniversary session in July.

I'm not sure who she was looking at, but I liked her expression.

Coming out of the chapel, just married!!




These boys were very cute and very active, but it was amazing how they stopped to stare at Erin.


This is Erin's brother Sean and his lovely girlfriend Taylor. Seany-boy and I had a little talk, he knows the right thing to do.


It would be remiss of me not to mention Susie, we had a great time together, she was very encouraging. Love ya Sooz!

Having some fun under "our" tree.


Craig captured this gem, I love the details, but especially the Rosary because it belonged to Erin's grandmother.


Erin is so good at working the camera!


Wow, wow, wow. Love it.

Look at that gorgeous blue sky, it was a perfect day!



I thought that the tables and centerpieces looked really pretty.


First dance.

Have you guys noticed that Jennifer has been at my last two weddings AND Bob and Jeremy have been at my last three? Great vendors stick together. LOL

I have been meaning to post this video since I launched my new blog-site, but I've been busy with gorgeous brides!

Stefanie & Tom

Stefanie and Tom were married at Heinz Chapel on the University of Pittsburgh Campus in Oakland and held their reception at Seven Oaks Country Club. Craig and I held our reception there and it was fun to visit again.

It's almost difficult to describe how gorgeous Stefanie is... Craig took this shot in her parent's home. I love the light, the lamp, the chair, everything.

Just look at those eyes and those... uhm, yeah, just look at those eyes!

Craig was workin' the 70-200 and he was doing a great job!

The minute I arrived I knew that I wanted to shoot on their red swing.


Stefanie's parents are renovating this part of their home and I thought it was so lucky to find a brick wall like this. I LOVE it.

Look at this ring!!! Unbelievable! (I need one).


They always shut the doors when the ceremony is about to begin, but for some reason they didn't on Saturday and I love this shot.


Another image by Craig, he had a great day, lots of good stuff from him.

Oh, hi Tom! I realize that there a maybe just a few more images of Stefanie, but don't worry, Tom is a good looking guy and I took pictures of him as well.

Stefanie is so fun and has a magnetic personality, just look at her expression!

We had the most amazing light to work with, and when you add a gorgeous couple and the 50 1.2, it's the trifecta of wedding photography.

Just diggin' the light in this one. And look, it's Tom again.



They had individual cakes on each table, but I liked the pin light on the cake with their monogram.


A special thanks to Maria and Steve for the referral, Tom is Maria's brother and I love spending time with their family!

The fabulous Tina!

Ok, so check this out... remember Jess and Mike's wedding that I shot at Penn State in May? Tina is Jessica's sister and was also her MOH. Tina loves photography, so prior to the wedding Jess contacted me asking if she could purchase Tina a gift certificate for one of my private consultations. Tina currently lives in Philly, but came out this weekend so that we could talk shop. We spent Friday together talking about business, Photoshop, workflow, equipment, shooting techniques, etc. Here she is, hard at work.

Saturday, I invited her to come along with us to Stefanie and Tom's wedding and we had a blast!

Stefanie and Tom had a photoboth at their wedding and it was so much fun. On the left is Bob, Jeremy, Tina, Craig and I. And on the right is just Tina, Craig and I.


It was wonderful to have Tina working with us this weekend, she is a perfect fit for the Weddings by Heather team, I hope she visits again soon.

Remember, I offer private consultations to anyone who wishes to learn more about any aspect of photography, I love this stuff!

What a weekend!

I have so much to blog about from this weekend and I can't wait to show you all of the amazing images! For now, these two fabulous details will have to do... will be posting more soon...

Ella is 6!

We are having a birthday party for my big girl today, I cannot believe she will be starting first grade tomorrow! I'll be posting more images later on www.heatherandcraig.com. She looks so grown up in this picture, not sure whether I like it or not. LOL

Marisa & Kevin

Marisa and Kevin were married at Saint Frances Cabrini and held their reception at the Embassy Suites. Marisa was an absolutely gorgeous, delightful person to be around.



The girls giving me some attitude.

Image by Craig, he knows I love details.


This is the second wedding I have documented where Andrea was a bridesmaid. I can't wait until she calls me someday.

Kevin and the guys.

I love this image, I think they look so relaxed.

And this was just great light.



Image by Craig.


When I arrived at Marisa's home earlier in the day, I was delighted to see the wonderfully shaded, beautiful backyard. And since the house was so close to the church, I suggested that we shoot there after the ceremony. I am so glad that we had time because the light was amazing!



I love this picture of the two of them, so happy!




This Bible belonged to Kevin's grandmother and every couple signs it when they get married. It's a very special family tradition.

I enjoyed spending time with Marisa's parents, and I like the way her dad was looking at her in this image.


The cake walk was a blast! Never heard of the cake walk? Ask an older Italian.

A huge, special thanks to Courtney and Jeff for yet another referral, I shot their wedding in 2006 and they have been so kind to me. They just had their first baby and Courtney looks amazing, I could hang out with them all day.

And I had to include this picture of them on the dance floor because the-always-classy Jeff, was grabbing her rear with one hand and drinking a beer with the other. Love ya buddy!
