Pittsburgh Wedding Photography

Posts Tagged ‘wedding pictures’

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 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!

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:

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!

The perfect bridal photography starts with the perfect photographer.  In the past, wedding pictures were more about the entire event, than certain detailed aspects.  With today’s technologies, it’s easier to take unique photos without having to drag hundreds of dollars worth of equipment all over.  This allows photographers to take more elaborate wedding pictures.

Choosing the right photographers for weddings is almost as important as choosing the dress and the flower arrangements.  For those who live in smaller communities, you might have to look outside your region to find the right photographer.  However, for those who live in larger cities such as Pittsburgh, you have a broader range of options.  We invited you to check out Sky’s The Limit Photography, owned and operated by Edward Coll.

Mr. Coll has taken wedding photography to the next level, by implementing a more photo-journalistic and artistic feel to his designs.  His photos are both stylish and unique, as he goes the extra distance to ensure that his clients are happy with the end results.  He works to combine the traditional aspects of wedding pictures with innovative ideas that will create one-of-a-kind photos for each event.

If you’re planning the wedding of a lifetime, then you’re going to want a photographer that will capture the essence of the big event.  You’re going to want a photographer that goes beyond the norm when it comes to the perfect wedding pictures.  Check out Sky’s The Limit photography.  We believe you will agree that this is just the bridal photography you’ve been dreaming about your whole life.
