I’m happy to post my first wedding of the season and even more happy for this lovely couple! When I first met Erica and Justin, I really loved getting to know them. They’re so easy-going and kind with one-another and their wedding day was no different. It was a real joy to be a part of it.
We started with Erica and her bridesmaids at A Sense of Eden Salon and Spa in Bridgewater. If you haven’t been there, I highly recommend it!
Jenna and James are friends of mine, so of course I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their wedding! They had a simple wedding at Cranberry Highlands with the ceremony in the pavilion and their reception in the ballroom at the visitor’s center. It was a gorgeous day on all accounts. The sun flooded the golf course so that everything just glowed and I don’t think Jenna and James could have been happier. This was partial-day coverage, so this blog post will be short and sweet. Here are some favorites from their ceremony. Note that the officiant used a Kindle—that was a first for sure! From a photography standpoint, I really liked it rather than seeing a handful of paper or a binder behind the bride and groom.
After the ceremony, we took some golf carts for a spin around the course for a couple of quick portraits. Then it was on to their reception for an intimate evening of dinner and dancing. With just six hours of coverage, we managed to fit a lot into a rather short amount of time. Because no two weddings are alike, I offer partial day coverage to meet a variety of needs. Partial day coverage can be booked as early as two months in advance of the date and includes two photographers and a disc of high-resolution images with permission to print them for personal use.
James and Jenna, congratulations on your marriage and many blessings to you!
I’m getting ready for the Pittsburgh wedding season by reviewing some of the weddings I photographed last year. I first came across Alex and Jon’s wedding from October. They were married at Ingomar United Methodist Church and had a reception at Greystone Fields. I started with Jon and the guys while they were getting ready at the hotel where the bridal party stayed.
Then it was off to the bride’s home to photograph her before she left for the church. This is one of the bridesmaid’s bouquets—love the color-scheme!
The window light in the dining room was lovely, but paled in comparison to Alex in her wedding gown!
We stopped at the Pittsburgh North Golf Course on the way to their reception for some creative portraits. Alex and I worked together to find a good place for on-location photography that was within close proximity to their reception. I contacted the course manager in advance and he gave us permission to stop by for a few minutes to photograph the bridal party—sweet!
Alex and Jon are such a nice couple and their wedding was a real treat! They put a lot of thought into planning their day and incorporated a lot of nice details. Alex made the most of her fall wedding by playing off of the fall colors. She also had a cute love bird theme with customized favors and a cake with kissing birds. It had a whimsical feel and tasted great too! Here’s the full post so you can see more from their wedding.
