Last weekend we had a blast with Megan and Brent, along with their huge, wild and crazy bridal party! The whole day was perfect, from getting ready, (Megan looked gorgeous before she even got the dress on!) to the beautiful ceremony. The weather held out and gave us a chance to get some gorgeous outdoor shots before we headed out to the reception.

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!

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!

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!

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:
