Lauren + Aleks: Pittsburgh Hotel Monaco Wedding Photographer

Lauren + Aleks had one of the most beautiful weddings I've been privileged to photograph! If you've never been to the Hotel Monaco (A Kimpton Hotel) in Pittsburgh, you're in for a treat - it's one of the most stunning, modern wedding venues I've ever seen! In addition to a gorgeous venue, Lauren + Aleks' ceremony was held at the Holy Trinity Serbian Cathedral. After the ceremony, we headed to the North Shore for some quick Roberto Clemente Bridge shots, and finished the portrait session of the day back at the Hotel Monaco, where the unique decor made for some stunning shots!

Jess + Todd's gorgeous fall wedding was a true Pittsburgh celebration! Their ceremony took place at the grotto at St. John and Paul Catholic Church, with photos at the West End Overlook, and a reception at the Station Square Sheraton, overlooking the Pittsburgh skyline. Swoon. Congratulations again to these two great people!

Victoria + Donovan: Foxburg Allegheny Grille Wedding Photographer

This wedding made my little wedding photographer heart happy for so many reasons. It occurred during my favorite time of year (fall), had an insane amount of beautiful details (with custom signage made by the bride herself), took place at a plethora of unique locations (including the Barnard House Bed & Breakfast & Allegheny Grille), and best of all - all of that with an incredibly sweet, in love couple!

A huge thanks to these two for having us share in their special day! We truly consider it an honor to have been able to photograph your wedding.

Victoria wore a pair of red boots in honor of Donovan's late grandmother, and revealed the boots to him right after the ceremony.

I've never seen a more gorgeous cookie table!

Emily + Jared: Dundee Farm (Sewickley) Wedding Photographer

Emily & Jared were married at the end of September on a gorgeous, early-fall day. I can't say enough good things about this wonderful couple, bridal party, and family.

There are so many details that made this wedding one of a kind. From the programs designed by a friend of the bride to the endless array of details carefully placed throughout Dundee Farm, this wedding was truly a joy to capture from beginning to end. (We were even able to sneak the bride & groom out for a couple of portraits during golden hour!) I consider it an honor to have been a part of your day, Emily and Jared. Praying that God blesses your marriage!

Andrea + Cameron: Succop Conservancy Wedding Photographer

Andrea and Cameron's perfect day at Succop Conservancy was full of beautiful light and close friends and family. This day was one of my favorites of the summer for a few reasons:I went to high school with Andrea and graduated with her sister (and Maid of Honor), and we had four people from JHP present for this wedding (2 for photo, 2 for video!). Don't miss Andrea + Cameron's wedding video teaser at the end of this post (shot by Nick and Alisha Sasala, edited by Nick)!

Congratulations to an awesome couple!

Laura + Dan: Heinz Chapel Wedding Photography

Laura and Dan's intimate Heinz Chapel wedding made my heart melt! With 20 of their very closet friends and family, Laura and Dan exchanged heart-felt vows (I might've teared up a bit) on a gorgeous, sunny Pittsburgh morning. The bride's gorgeous ensemble was inspired by Kate Middleton's wedding day look (stunning, right?) - the perfect look for this black tie affair. I loved working with you two, Laura and Dan! Thank you for the honor of capturing your love!

Debra + Zach: Butler Atrium Wedding Photography

Debra and Zach's Butler Atrium wedding was fit for royalty. Their subtly themed Disney wedding included so many elegant details, including a "Bibbity bobbity blue" (Cinderella inspired) signature drink, to a head table fit for royalty, to a lantern send off (tangled inspired) - everything about this wedding seemed to jump straight from the pages of a fairytale storybook - including Debra and Zach's love for each other. It was an honor to photograph this beautiful chapter of your story, Debra and Zach!

One of the most beautiful head tables I've ever seen! Fit for royalty.

We were able to sneak Debra and Zach outside for a second round of photos during golden hour - the light was killer!

Debra and Zach's signature drink was the "Bibbity Bobbity Blue."

Sam + Brian: Pittsburgh Wedding Photography

Surrounded by friends and family on their big day, Sam and Brian's Pittsburgh wedding was the perfect way to commemorate a relationship that started at Robert Morris University in Moon Township. Because they moved to Jacksonville, Florida shortly after the wedding, Sam and Brian opted to have photos taken downtown to remember the city where they met. Congratulations to this sweet couple! 

Melanie + John: Chapel Valley Estates Bed & Breakfast Wedding Photography (Cranberry Township Photographer)

Melanie and John's intimate wedding took place at the Chapel Valley Estates Bed & Breakfast in late June. Even though the ceremony was rained out and moved inside the tent, Melanie and John's immense love for one another was seen by every person in attendance.

A huge thanks to the wonderful people at Chapel Valley Estates for their wonderful service and kindness throughout the day! 

Lexy + Anthony: Historic Summit Inn Hotel Wedding Photography

Lexy and Anthony's gorgeous Historic Summit Inn Hotel wedding was loaded with the most beautiful details, from stunning accessories, to a crystal beaded dress, to a sweet ceremony in the church where her parents had been married years before. Everything about this wedding was glamorous and heartfelt, and I couldn't feel more honored to have been asked to capture it in these photos! Especially since Lexy (and now Anthony, too!) and her family are like family to mine. We love you guys!

In addition to photographing this gorgeous affair, we also had the honor of filming her wedding (a first for JHP!) Be sure to scroll through all of the photos to the bottom of this post for a sneak peak of Lexy and Anthony's teaser video - filmed by my talented fiancé, Nick Sasala!
