Pittsburgh Wedding Photography

Posts Tagged ‘Pittsburgh’

Did a shoot with Sarah since she recently commissioned a bunch of custom tour outfits from Down with Fashion clothing. We finally got a chance to do a video, it’s nothing stellar but we finally got around to it!

Here are some final shots!

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:

Yesterday, we had a great shoot with Sarah in the snow. One of our very own photographers made her dress, and everything turned out great. Here are the results:

Our good friends Jess and Tom, who are located just outside of Philadelphia, got married in September and had us do a rock the dress the next month. They were totally awesome, since we had them go to Ringing Rocks State Park, near Upper Black Eddy PA. They hoofed it out to the 8 acre field of boulders, then hiked to Keller’s Cellar (a rock formation in the park) and High Falls. On the drive back home, we found a beautiful field and got some great shots just before the rain came.

Also, expect to see Jess and Tom’s Christmas card, featuring one of our photos, posted later in the week!

More shots of Brittany, we just love shooting together! She and the MUAs brought such a great energy to the shoot and the concepts were awesome. We bought wayyyy too many balloons, which ended up everywhere after the shoot. But the photos turned out excellent!

Our wonderful friend, model and singer Sarah Burgess, did another shoot with us the other day. As usual, we had a ton of fun and got some really great photos. She brought a small portion of her huge wardrobe to play with, here’s a few select shots:

Another shoot with the lovely Brittany! This time we did a high-fashion shoot, with an outfit made by one of our photographers! Brittany’s mother was kind enough to let us use her salon (Danielle’s Beauty Salon in Natrona Heights) for our hair and make-up before the shoot. The makeup artist did a stellar job on hair and make up, and the photos turn out excellent.

Finding a unique wedding photography studio is every bride-to-be’s dream.  In this day and age, people are going to greater extremes with their wedding celebrations.  If you’re going to have a wedding that will shock and awe, you’re going to want a great photographer to capture every moment of the big event, no matter what the theme event might require.

Maybe you’ve been thinking about holding your wedding in some unique location in your area, or at Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh.  If you’re going to get creative with you wedding ideas, you’re going to have to choose the best wedding photographers in the field.  You need a photographer who is open to taking pictures in odd places, as well as someone who is known for their creative wedding photography.

No matter how out of the ordinary your wedding plans might be, you’re still going to need someone to supply professional photography options to the festivities.  If you’re going to go all out, do you really want just anyone with a digital camera taking the pictures?  More than likely, you’re going to want someone who can create a memorable portrait that details the essence of the entire event.

Your wedding day is something you want to be memorable for both you and everyone else who attends.  If you’re going to go all out and have the wedding you’ve always dreamed of, make sure you’ve got the photographs to show for it.  A unique wedding needs unique wedding photography to ensure that every detail is documented for the day and for the future.

Be sure to check the portrait gallery of our sponsor at Sky’s the Limit Photgraphy and request a proposal for your upcoming wedding event.

Another amazing model shoot today, this time with the awesome Heather. This time we shot at the abandoned Beverly Hills Hotel in Pittsburgh, PA. We got some really amazing shots running around this, it’s nice to still be able to get such beautiful shots of the place despite the state of decay. Everytime we shoot there the shots get better and better.
Here’s a peek of the outcome:

Professional wedding photographers can be found just about anywhere you look. However, choosing the right one for your upcoming nuptials is a little bit trickier. Though most photographers work with basically the same equipment, each one brings their own unique style that separates them from the rest. It takes a little research to find one that will fit in with your own ideas for wedding photographs.

Options in professional wedding photography depend on what part of the country you live in. For those who live in smaller towns and rural areas might only have a couple of photographers to choose from. However, those who live in larger cities, such as Pittsburgh, will have a more diverse range of options. This means your biggest obstacle is deciding which one is right for you.

The best way to narrow your search down is to have a basic idea of what you’d like to see. Most studios will have a vast portfolio for you to look through, to see some of the styles they’ve done in the past. A good wedding portrait photographer will also be able to take your basic ideas and help you expand them into something that will reach beyond your wildest dreams.

Planning the perfect wedding goes beyond the dress and flowers. It’s a memory you’ll want to visualize for years to come. Picking the right professional wedding photographers is just as important as any other part of the planning process, and one that will be remembered for a long time to come.

We encourage you to contact our sponsor at Sky’s the Limit Photography and have fun planning your big event. You will not only get to see their portfolio, they will give you some fantastic ideas for your wedding photos.
