Pittsburgh Wedding Photography at Phipps Conservatory

/by

I posted about Lisa and Josh’s love lock story last week and now, I’m ready to share it all—every last scrumptious detail! Lisa and Josh were so much fun to spend the day with. They flew in from their new abode in San Francisco. And I must say, I’m really impressed at how they did such a fabulous job planning this wedding from out of town. It went so smoothly—without a hitch, and the details were gorgeous! We started with Lisa getting ready at the Hampton Inn in Oakland.

Love Locks on Schenley Drive – Pittsburgh Wedding Photography

/by

This is not your usual sneak peek, but I can’t help but sharing some fun photos from Lisa and Josh’s wedding this past May. They introduced me to this European custom where sweethearts decorate a padlock with their initials or a special date, put it on a bridge and throw away the key as a tribute to their eternal love. This custom recently made it’s way to the US and Pittsburgh’s own Schenley Drive has a bridge with a growing number of love locks. Lisa and Josh’s wedding took place a Phipps Conservatory, so this lock bridge was just a hop, skip, and jump away.

It was a fun little ceremony of sorts. And they hammed it up for the photos.

Whew! I’m a bit behind on my blogging after a very busy month of May with lots and lots of shooting. It’s been great and I’ll have lots to show for it in the next few weeks, but now I’d like to focus on a beautiful wedding that took place at Phipps Conservatory. Stephanie and Ed were married in the Broderie room and it couldn’t have been lovelier! Between the lush greenery at Phipps and the beautiful blooms in Stephanie’s bouquet by Hepatica, I can’t think of the last time I saw such gorgeous flowers.

Charleston, SC Destination Wedding Photography

/by

Most of my weddings take place in Pittsburgh, but I love to travel, so traveling to photograph a destination wedding is such a treat! Courtney and Matt were married in Charleston, South Carolina (see sneak peek here) at the Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina. And it was such a lovely day at a gorgeous location with lots of fabulous details! I think that’s probably a run-on sentence, but my grammar falls by the wayside when I get excited about something.

Here’s the complete scoop on Megan and Zak’s wedding photography. You might want to check out my previous sneak peek as well. This was such a lovely day and it was so much fun to work with Megan and Zak. We started at her parent’s home where Megan and her bridesmaids were getting ready. I really love the design on the back of Megan’s dress. And she looked so pretty in it! And Zak surprised her with a limo for the day—what a sweet groom!
