The Silvesters | Veronica + John | A Chapel of the Holy Spirit Duquesne University + Cranberry Highlands Wedding | Pittsburgh + Cranberry, PA
I met Veronica at the Cavanaugh Bridal Show and was crazy excited when she booked me on the spot…hey when you know you know! We had planned a bridal session, see my previous blog entry, and their engagement session was to die for with the prettiest spring florals. That had nothing on their wedding day though with so much giddy excitement, their strong faith, and the love they had surrounding them. Their wedding was classic with their blush and burgundy color scheme.

A Summer Bridal Session | Hartwood Acres Mansion
If you’ve seen my last blog post on what bridal sessions are and the pros of having one before the wedding (you can read it here), you’ll know how excited I was for Veronica to be all for it! I was even more excited that we chose such a beautiful location at the Hartwood Acres Mansion. It was such a beautiful day when we arrived, but nothing compares to when her dad dressed up in his suit so, teary eyed, he could get a few special photos with his daughter. Not to mention she tried on her mom’s wedding dress for a portion of our time for extra sentimental portraits! You’re going to swoon at these!
The Millers | Ashley + Zack | A St Bernards + Sheraton Pittsburgh Airport Hotel Wedding | Mt Lebanon + Moon, PA
Ashley had been dreaming of her wedding day since she was a little girl, and she and Zack knew exactly how they wanted their day to look, feel, and all those beautiful moments in-between! This wedding was classic, a little bit of glam, and a whole lot of family! I was so excited to see the party kick up a notch when the DJ passed out light-up foam sticks which added a whole level of ambiance to the dance floor!

Lauren + Matthew | A Swallow Falls State Park Enagement | Maryland
Lauren + Matt brought me up to the Deep Creek area not too long ago and my goodness did we have the most beautiful conditions for their engagement session. We ventured all of Swallow Falls State Park in Maryland, just 20 minutes from Deep Creek! They braved slippery and pointy rocks to get near the waterfall and were an absolute blast to be around.

Mimi + Patrick | A Washington DC Anniversary Session
Mimi + Patrick were one of our sweetest couples who got married back in 2017. After the wedding, we discussed an anniversary session in the area where they live and work, Washington DC. Fast forward two years and we are finally making plans to come down during potential peak cherry blossom season!! It was so exciting chatting back and forth and looking into locations and other things to do while we were going to be visiting. The morning of the session comes and they were troopers and decided again they liked us enough to wake up before the crack of dawn for a sunrise session starting at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial around the Tidal Basin in the heart of DC. Although we did end up missing the peak of the cherry blossoms, my goodness it was still so beautiful and peaceful before the tourist filled area was full of people. It’s not all about the background though especially when you have a couple as in love as they are! It was so great to catch up and get some really beautiful and meaningful images for these two. We even headed over to the cutest little French inspired café and bakery afterwards!
The Atems | Michelle + John | A Multiple Wedding Day Celebration | Pittsburgh, PA
This was one of the most fun wedding celebrations I’ve been a part of capturing. Both families were represented in their cultures, traditions, and celebrations for marriage! On the first day, it was focused around John’s family’s South Sudanese traditions with a celebration in North Park followed by a Henna Party. On the second day, it was focused around Michelle’s family’s typical American tradition with a church ceremony followed by a reception. I loved that in both days there was a fusion of intertwined aspects of both of their cultures, family, and personalities! What an amazing way to celebrate your marriage than with a multiple wedding day celebration here in Pittsburgh!
