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!

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!

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!

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 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!

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!

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!
