Captivating Imagery: Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer and Professional Photography Services

This last post of 2011 is near and dear to my heart. While visiting with my family in Hershey, Pa., my sister and her husband sat for a maternity session in a guest room at my parents’ home. Well, now it’s a guest room/baby room because as you will see, my mom has everything ready to go for her first grandchild. I normally do maternity sessions in the studio, so this was a good opportunity to find new ways to show what a special time this is for expecting parents.

Betsy and Steve are going to be great parents. It’s easy to see that they are going to make sure their little baby has everything she needs (and more!)

They picked out a name for their baby girl and it’s top-secret! I guess we’ll have to wait until February.

This one below is one of my favorites. Here’s where you can see the crib all ready for the baby.

Bets and Steve, thanks for the opportunity to photograph your maternity session. I can’t wait to meet your baby girl. I love her already and have been praying for her! God bless you!

Congratulations to Jen and Tim! It’s been about two weeks since I photographed their Pittsburgh wedding and these newlyweds will soon celebrate their first holidays as husband and wife. So sweet! Anyway, I just finished editing their wedding and have lots to share about these honeymooners. To start, Jen wore a beautiful gown with a full skirt and a higher waist. I love this style. It’s a nice change after a season of drop waist gowns.

She wore a sixpence in her shoe for good luck. Thanks to Alex for the next two photos!

I had the pleasure of photographing Jennifer and Timothy’s wedding in Beaver County two Saturdays ago. I’m a Beaver County gal though I live in Pittsburgh now, so it was fun to work in some familiar locations. Plus Jennifer and Timothy were tons of fun and their wedding day schedule allowed enough time for them to enjoy the day without feeling rushed. This is a major plus when it comes to photography, where rushing is not so good, that can be a total mood-killer! Anyway, this is a sneak peek and I’m already rambling on. Let’s get to the good stuff.

Isn’t Jennifer lovely?

I really like this one of the two of them. Jennifer is standing on a curb because Timothy is quite a lot taller than her.

I mentioned a couple of posts ago, that Sarah and John were married in Texas in the fall of last year. For family and friends who were not able to make it to their wedding, they held a second reception in Butler on Valentine’s Day. It was a Sunday evening reception and it made for a special way to celebrate the holiday with their friends and family.

Sarah carried a simple and elegant bouquet of red and white roses.

Their cookie table did not disappoint. There were plenty of scrupmtious treats and it was tough to choose!

This sweet flower girl is signing their “guest plate,” a more functional alternative to the usual book.

Here’s the happy couple in between welcoming their guests to the reception.

It’s easy to see how Sarah and her little girl adore one another.

Sarah’s a natural beauty and looks stunning in her white fur stole.

They had all of the traditional elements of a wedding reception and were announced into the room, toasted by several loved ones, and shared a first dance and father/daughter and mother/son dances.

Did I mention that Sarah’s from Texas? Check out the cowgirl boots she’s rocking under her dress.

Their cup cakes were delicious. I usually don’t get a chance to eat cake, but when my job was done at the close of the reception, I couldn’t resist helping myself.

Thanks again Sarah and John! It was so much fun to photograph your Pa. reception!

Sarah and John were married earlier in 2009 in Texas. For the family who could not travel to their wedding, they held a reception in Butler on Valentine’s Day. Here’s a glimpse of two favorites from this beautiful couple’s Valentine’s Day reception:

Sarah is such a beautiful bride and there’s more to come. Blessings to you and John!
