Jennifer + Larry: Twelve Oaks Mansion Wedding Photographer

There are so many things I could write about this sweet couple. Their wedding day was beautiful, relaxed, and full of joy from the very beginning, surrounded by friends and family. We were running ahead of schedule for the majority of the day (which almost never happens on a wedding day), so we were able to take some really beautiful, stylized photographs for these two! We are so thankful to have been able to capture this gorgeous day - congratulations, Jen & Larry!

Maryann + Kevin: Hartwood Acres Wedding Photographer

Maryann and Kevin's spring wedding was nothing short of gorgeous! On top of Italian food, an Italian cookie table (bigger than your average Pittsburgh cookie table), and the beautiful pink blossoms in bloom at Hartwood Acres, this this wedding was a ton of fun to photograph from start to finish! Thanks for having us, Maryann and Kevin, we were honored to be a part of your day!

In case you missed it, here's Kevin & Maryann's backyard engagement session from 2015!

Aimee + Brandon: Shakespeare's Restaurant & Pub Wedding Photography

You might recall the one weekend in April where it snowed - it just so happened to be on Aimee + Brandon's wedding day! However, Aimee loves the snow (a true Canadian native) and was excited about the weather, and even braved the cold to take a couple of photos outside! We started out the day at the Pittsburgh Marriott North, where Aimee spent the morning getting ready, and then traveled to Shakespeare's (in Ellwood City) for the ceremony and reception. The two exchanged heartfelt vows, then danced the night away and headed off to Hawaii! We're so happy for you two, Aimee & Brandon!

Chrissy + Chris: Mayernik Center (Avonworth) Wedding Photography

Breakfast for dinner. A tie from her late grandfather wrapped around her bouquet. A gorgeous (and warm) March day. Chrissy & Chris' spring wedding was incredibly beautiful! You might remember this couple from their Riverview Park engagement session a few months ago (hint: they brought a sword as a prop). Their wedding reception took place at the Mayernik Center in Avonworth Park where they were surrounded by friends & family. Enjoy a few of our favorites from the day!

Chrissy is a school teacher, so the maps and chalkboard behind her were the perfect backdrop and nod to her career!

An incredibly sweet moment of service for the bride and groom (see John 13:1-17 for reference).

Kim + John: Pittsburgh Great Hall Wedding Photographer

We had so much fun photographing this fellow Walt Disney World loving couple’s wedding! Kim and John’s Pittsburgh wedding started off at Northgate Church where the couple shared their first look and a moment together before the day officially began. After, we headed to the columns at the Mellon Institute and Cathedral of Learning in Oakland for some gorgeous bridal party and couple photos, and then returned to the church for the ceremony (where, I admit, I teared up while a friend of the couple read a poem written to Kim by John, written for their first Valentine’s together). We even snuck the newlyweds out for a couple of night portraits before sending them off with a sparkler exit! Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Huwe! We hope you had a ton of fun in Disney!

Brianna + Corey: Scottish Rite Cathedral Wedding Photography

Brianna & Corey's glamorous Scottish Rite Cathedral wedding in New Castle, PA was classic, timeless, and modern. Enjoy a few of my favorite shots from this cozy, intimate day!

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!

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.

Praying together before the ceremony.

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!
