Chris and Anita picked a perfect weekend to get married, and we got the chance to enjoy the beautiful weather (and photo opportunities!) with them. We started the day off with Anita while she got her hair and makeup done, and got a ton of great shots. Then it was off to the ceremony! We mananged to catch Chris getting his boutonniere pinned on before it was time for everyone to walk down the aisle. After the ceremony we took the couple out for some lovely summer-y garden shots. Then it was time to head over to the reception at the  Omni William Penn Hotel. The reception was gorgeous. The lighting was beautiful and leant itself to some great dancing shots!

We had a blast at Katie and Joe’s wedding last weekend. Just the color scheme showed how fun they were as a couple, with the girls in some great hot-pink dresses! After Katie got ready we all headed to the ceremony, which was beautiful. After, we caught Joe monkeying around and used the opportunity to get some great photos of the two. It was a gorgeous day overall, and one photos were done we headed off to a fun reception, DJed by John Leon, who kept us dancing all night!

Last week we had the pleasure of attending Becky and Mike’s wedding. Despite our photo session getting rained out, the day went well, we got a chance to take a few photos of Mike on his family’s gorgeous property. They were a really fun couple and even with the issues from the weather, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with.

A few months ago, we had the chance to photograph Jen and Sean at some of the coolest places in Pittsburgh, and last weekend it was finally time for their wedding! The church was absolutely gorgeous, and after their lovely ceremony, we went up to Grandview Park for some shots of the couple against the city. Afterwards we all headed to the reception, and crazy dancing ensued. The whole night was great!

Two weeks ago, we got to enjoy Emily and David’s wedding. We started off at the Salon with Emily, then off to her house for some photos with the make-up artist. Then we ran off to the church to get photos of both Emily and David getting ready. After the ceremony, we did a few shots outside of the Garden Theater then went to the gorgeous reception at the Grand Hall. It was a beautiful night!

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of shooting Jammie and Zak’s wedding out in Kittaning, PA. The ceremony was great and we had a total blast at the reception.

So, for our first wedding of the year, we had a total blast. Kim and Mike were an awesome couple and their whole wedding party was a total dream. We had a ton of fun, from photographing Kim getting ready at the Marriott in Robinson, the snaps we took at the beautiful ceremony, braving the eighteen degree weather (brrr), to returning to the Marriott for their stellar reception.

It was a really amazing way to start off 2010 for everyone!

The day began at the Marriott near the Pittsburgh Airport, where Kim and her bridesmaids were getting ready. The girls all looked great, and we got there just in time to photograph Kim getting her hair and make-up done. She looked totally gorgeous! After she and her mom got ready, it was time to put on the dress. Lacing up the back is one of our favorite shots to get, so Kim’s dress was perfect.  After the dress was on, we took a few shots of Kim on the room, which turned out great. Then it was off to the church!

After the ceremony we went out to do photos at the Convention Center and the Pennsylvanian. Despite the freezing temps, the whole bridal party really rocked it! Kim was a total trooper in her strapless dress, and complained less than we did!

Next up was going back to the Marriott for the reception (with DJ Andy Booth, who did an awesome job!), where Kim had a suprise for Mike, an adorable groom’s cake. The venue was stunning, with blue uplighting and these amazing centerpieces with floating candles. We all had a great time, and from the wild activity on the dance floor, it looked like everyone else did too!

Since it was our first wedding of 2010, here’s a larger sneak peek than usual:

Here is a slideshow of our recent trip to South Africa.  The reason for the trip was to help build a community center and a school for a  large township in South Africa.   Wow what a trip!!!!!!
