Katie and John’s wedding had some terrific details. Katie’s flowers were shades of pink, white and green with roses, orchids and hydrangea and they were lovely from the moment her florist dropped them off well into the night and that’s something considering the humidity and heat that day. Their favors read, “Hugs and Kisses from the New Mr. & Mrs.” on the bottom of their Hershey kisses. How can you not smile when you read that? Katie wore a crystal necklace and earrings that sparkled – actually Katie sparkled in every way. Did I mention the cookie table? There wasn’t a cookie that I didn’t like – they were delicious! And lastly, they had guests sign rocks as keepsakes in lieu of a guest book. And the display was as cool as the concept with an aluminum dish, moss, orchids and tea lights. More to come of this wedding soon!

Cathy and Travis are getting married in Erie, Pa., this summer and they contacted me to schedule an engagement session this spring. We headed to Mellon Park on a Saturday morning and had a blast.

Julie and Randy were married on a sunny afternoon at Fellows Riverside Gardens in Mill Creek Park, Youngstown, Ohio. They planned a small wedding for close family and friends with a reception at Michael Alberini’s in Boardman, Ohio.
Julie carried green hydrangea wrapped in an embroidered handkerchief. This shot was taken in the Antonucci Horticulture Library in the park’s Davis Center.
Julie and her father walked down the center aisle of the rose garden.
What a gorgeous location for this handsome couple!
When Julie first saw her cake, she was concerned that the fondant was the wrong color. The room’s tungsten lighting made everything appear warmer than it actually is. This is something that photographers deal with all of the time. I was happy to be able to take a photo and show her that her cake’s accent color was the key lime green that she had in mind. I was able to do that because I gel my flash and set my camera’s white balance to match the light source in the room.
This little girl was asking Julie when she could have some cake and that made me smile because kids are never afraid to ask the important questions in life.
Julie and Randy, it was a pleasure spending the day with you. Many blessings to you and your marriage!

Lee and Brian decided to opt for a post-wedding photography session after their elopement this spring. It was a fun and relaxed way for them to commemorate the beginning of their lives as Mr. and Mrs. We decided to head to the Oakland area of Pittsburgh for its plentiful locations that are perfect for a playful post-wedding session.
Such a pretty bride! The petals were already falling and we had Brian shake the tree a bit to help.
Brian’s look was inspired by Johnny Depp. Lee said they liked what he wore at a recent event and decided that it was a good alternative to a suit or tux for Brian.
Our session was rescheduled by one week due to heavy rain and while it sprinkled that morning, we weren’t going to let that get in our way.
Much giggling occurs when I set couples into loose poses for more romantic shots. And I do love it when they giggle.
Here’s a fun one under another tree with pink blossoms. I love springtime.
We stopped at the gardens outside of Phipps Conservatory for a few shots.
This image was begging to be black and white.
It’s tough to tell, but it was raining lightly here as we walked around outside Heinz Chapel.
Lee is a Pitt graduate and Brian graduate from Penn State, but he was a good sport and didn’t seem to mind having his photo taken all over Pitt’s campus.
Sometimes it’s fun to have a couple that’s not the exact same height. It can be challenging, but it can also bring about unexpected images like this one.
Lee is actually standing on a small concrete bench. If I could go back, I’d photograph a full length shot for fun.
This one was fun. Lee is smiling at Brian who is just taking it all in while he stands off to the side. He said that the Frick Fine Arts building has never looked better.
One thing that’s nice about post-wedding sessions is the opportunity to get a little dirty and have fun. They wanted to get in the fountain for a few photos and I was happy to join in the fun.
This one is a new favorite and it is definitely going on the front page of my site. Lee and Brian, many blessings to you and your marriage! Thanks for a fabulous post-wedding session!
