Last weekend we got to head up to Grove City for Kaitlin and Kyle’s wedding. It was a gorgeous day, and despite forecasts for thunder storms, the sun stayed out for our photos! We were with Kaitlin for the start of her day, getting ready at her parent’s house. We got to see some of the cute details she incorporated into her wedding, like the amazing pillow for the ring. As the girls were getting ready, we got a few shots then headed to the church, located on the college. After the ceremony, we got to take part in a tradition in Kaitlin’s family, where everyone waved handkerchiefs as the couple left the church. Then it was time for formal photos, so we took the bridal party to do some shots on the main street. They were a fun bunch! When it came time for the couple to pose alone, the old movie theater made a perfect setting. Once we were done, everyone went to the reception to party the night away!

Jessica and Kevin’s wedding last weekend was another beautiful wedding in an amazing location. The ceremony and reception were held at West Overton Village. The girls got ready in the museum, a beautiful old house with amazing color and a great vintage feel. Once everyone was ready, they went to the ceremony, in a beautiful outdoor garden. After the ceremony, we took the couple to do some shots with the gorgeous, civil war-era barns. The reception was held in one of the large barns on the property, and was absolutely stunning. The rustic brick walls and old wood worked well with the couple’s lively pink and green color scheme, seen on their gorgeous cake! The whole night was rocking after dinner, and a few of the guests had a spin around the dance floor with Jessica!

Last weekend we got to do a wedding at one of our favorite places, Phipps Conservatory, with Malorie and Mouad. They got married during the golden hour, in the outdoor garden. The decor was very colorful and had a lot of details that tied into Mouad’s Moroccan hertiage. The couple was so fun and laid back, it was an absolute blast from the second they arrived. Malorie wore some of the wildest shoes we’ve ever seen at a wedding! The ceremony itself was gorgeous, the pair got married in from of a small fountain in the outdoor gardens, in the gorgeous golden light of the setting sun. After the ceremony finished, the couple walked back down the aisle as guests lit their way with sparklers! Once we finished up family photos, we ran off for some shots of Malorie and Mouad alone in some of the beautiful gardens surrounding Phipps. We returned just in time for dinner, and everyone took a little break to enjoy the evening. Before we left, though, we made sure the couple got a chance to play with the sparklers too!

We had a great time with Cassie and Trista down in the South Side for their engagement photos. They let us go completely wild, which yielded some great results. The couple really worked well in the urban jungle, which lended itself to a great variety of backdrops!

Yesterday we trekked off to Saxonburg, PA to photograph Nick and Kelley’s wedding. Before the ceremony, we hung out with Kelley at her parent’s house in Canonsburg to take photos while she got her makeup done (by the excellent Patty Bell, check out her site!). Then we drove out to Armstrong Farms, where the ceremony was held. It was a gorgeous day for a wedding.  After the ceremony we had free reign of the grounds for photos. Then it was time for toasts and dinner. Admittedly, we were excited for dinner, the food smelled amazing! (And tasted amazing!!) Once everyone had their share of the food at each station, dessert was put out and it was time for dancing. We had a complete blast, and even jumped in the photobooth for a few shots before we finished out the night!

We did Sara and Steve’s engagement photos back in May in the South Side. After having such a fun time with them, we couldn’t wait to shoot their wedding! We got to spend the whole day with them, from getting ready at the Airport Marriott until the reception there later that night. They were so laid back and fun to work with. They got married at the gorgeous chapel at Robert Morris University, and we did their photos in the gardens on the campus. Since the rain held off, we all went and had some fun at the playground! They were so open to all of our ideas, and we got some great shots because of it. After photos, we partied it up at the reception. The room had this gorgeous pink/magenta uplighting and the food was excellent! Everyone had a great time dancing, we even jumped in for a song!

So, in an attempt to update the look of our blog, posting will have a slightly different format. We’re looking to do something a little more fresh and modern, with BIGGER PHOTOS!

Hopefully everyone enjoys it!

Expect the new format to be in place later today.

We had a great time at Tanya and Tony’s wedding, which took place at Phipps Conservatory. It was a dual ceremony, and a great oppertunity for us to learn about some of the aspects of an Indian marriage ceremony. The recepetion was also held at Phipps, which gave us a chance to photograph the couple in a few of the beautiful gardens.

The three of us had a great time at Angie and Don’s wedding, from the second we started shooting Angie getting ready until we took the very last shot at the reception. With a ceremony at St Pauls, there’s no way we weren’t going to get stunning  shots down the aisle! The reception was followed up with some shots taken on windy Mt Washington where Angie’s veil took a dive off the mountain! Then it was off to Bella Sera for the gorgeous reception.

We had an excellent shoot with the band Lovebettie a few weeks ago before their concert at the Hard Rock Cafe on 5-15. They were great to work with, and really went all out. Check out their music via myspace: http://www.myspace.com/lovebettie
