Francie & John

Francie and John were married at Sacred Heart Parish in Shadyside and held their reception at the Renaissance Hotel downtown.

I LIVE for moments like this. Perfection.


And this. Ha.


Craig captured this last minute hug between the Francie and her mom before walking down the aisle.


I'm not sure what is going on here, but Craig captured it and I love it.


I brought along a new assistant (Michelle) and she grabbed this shot from a distance with her 70-200.

We had the perfect gust of wind to lift her veil. Yeah for long veils!!


He was trying to take off her dress. And it was fun.


But then it got serious. And sexy.


Francie is a dancer, so it seemed natural to ask her to spin. Image by Craig.

I really like the way he dipped her down and placed his arms on her back.


Another one by Michelle, she was loving that zoom!

The flowers were amazing, I have never seen such big, beautiful hydrangea's.


I wrapped her gorgeous ring in the ribbon on her bouquet.

This wedding was filled with love and emotion, but this moment had everyone in tears. John is from Ireland and his parents were unable to make the trip over for the wedding. His brother put together a very nice video presentation of them wishing the newlyweds happiness and love. To say it was moving would be an understatement.

It was joyful, tearful and captivating. And it was difficult for me to see through the viewfinder with my tears getting in the way. But the way it made me feel is almost indescribable. All I can say is, thank you Francie and John for allowing me to document your wedding, my heart is full.
