Many congratulations to Kathleen and Tim who were married recently at Hebron Church in Penn Hills, Pa., with a reception following at Riverside Landing in Oakmont, Pa. It was a pleasure to work with this couple—they were so sweet with one another and you couldn’t help smiling when they were near.

Tim was misty eyed as Kathleen and her father walked down the aisle.

This bridal party practically spanned the width of the church.

Alex Jones captured this high five between Kathleen and her dad.

Group portraits can be challenging to say the least. I used to secretly cringe when it was time for group portraits—it was the one aspect of the job that I didn’t feel completely comfortable with because there are so many things that go into creating a nice group portrait. Now I enjoy them since discovering a couple of ways to improve the process and results. Isn’t this a fabulous looking group?

After taking a series of more formal group portraits at the church, we headed to a “train station” parklet on the railroad tracks in Oakmont for something a little more casual.
