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 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!

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!

Friday we had the pleasure of being with Tanya the day before her wedding ceremony. The two part of the ceremony were called Devkaaren and Tel. It was a wonderful experience for us to be involved in this part of the wedding ceremony, and it gave us the chance to get to know Tanya’s side of the family before the wedding. They were all so nice, and the whole day was just so amazing. (And the food was to die for!)

This week we got the chance to do Jen and Sean’s engagement photos. We do a lot of engagement shoots, and each one is great, but this one was especially awesome. We had access to both PNC Park and Heinz Filed for the day, and even got to go in the locker room at the Heniz Field. Ed couldn’t help himself and stepped in for a few shots! Jen and Sean were great to work with, and we can’t wait for their wedding later this month!

Just yesterday Erik and Ed had the pleasure of doing Gina and Bob’s engagement photos. It seems the South Side is perfect for engagement photos, and everyone had a blast!

Erik was kind enough to take a few shots of Ed being goofy behind the camera, check them out!

We had a great engagement shoot last week with Jammie and Zach. We took a short trip down to the South Side to get some edgy, fun shots of this great couple. They were a total blast to work with, we can’t wait for their wedding in May!

Stacy, a recent college grad, came to us for some post-grad photos. Despite some gloomy weather, the shots turned out amazing.

Taken on the Fonthill estate in Doylestown, PA, the location worked perfectly with her electric blue dress.

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!
