Anne + Gordon | Pittsburgh Zoo Wedding

Anne and Gordon are just one of those couples who are simply sweet on each other, which is completely evident in the images we’ve taken of them, and why it makes them so much fun to capture!  Their ceremony took place at the First Unitarian Church, with the reception to follow at the Pittsburgh Zoo.  The Zoo is such a perfect spot for this couple because of their love for animals, especially their three little dogs!  One of their dogs named Magna made a cameo at the ceremony and was a spritely little ring bearer!  Take a look at some of the magnificent moments we captured on Anne and Gordon’s wedding day.

Nana and Lei | Strip District Engagement

The storm clouds rolling through Pittsburgh on the evening of Nana and Lei’s engagement session didn’t stop us from taking some great images in the Strip District!  Nana and Lei are getting married this Saturday 8/2/14, and they decided that they wanted to grab a few engagement photos prior to the wedding.  Take a look at some of my favorites from their session!

How they met: Elise and Eric went to the same elementary school, but they didn’t begin dating until after the both graduated from college.  Elise messaged him to say hi one day, and this is how their love story began!

First date:  The movies!  To Elise’s surprise, a few other friends joined them on their first date!

How Eric knew she was the one:
I had never met someone so caring for other people and does everything in her control to
make others happy before herself.  It didn’t take me long to fall for her because quite simply, she             is my best friend and I wouldn’t be able to live without.  She has shown me many acts of love, never giving up on us when times get rough.  Those are the people in life you fight for, which is
why I will take care of her until the day I die.

What Elise loves most about Eric:
Everything!  He is funny, sexy, has a great smile and eyes, and is everything I ever wanted!  He is
always there for me when I need him.  When I was in graduate school, he supported me during
the stressful times and pushed me when I needed to be pushed.  Four years later, I still get
butterflies in my stomach when I am around him!

The proposal: Disneyworld in December 2013.  Eric took Elise on a ferry ride to Port Orleans Riverside hotel.  A horse and buggy awaited them at the hotel, which took them to a white gazebo on the lake, adorned with gorgeous red poinsettias.  Quite the magical moment!

Wedding date: 6/20/15
Ceremony: St. Paul Cathedral
Reception: Pittsburgh Athletic Association

Weekend Getaway | Niagara on the Lake

Barry and I absolutely love to travel.  So much so, that I firmly believe we work not to put food on the table, but instead to see the world (and photograph it!)

This past weekend, we took a trip to Niagara on the Lake to celebrate our seventh anniversary.  Niagara on the Lake is the cutest little town full of charm, wineries galore, boutique shopping and delightful farm-to-table dining.  We love wine tasting and dining, and for this reason, we have been to this region three times to experience everything it has to offer.

If you are considering taking a trip to Niagara on the Lake, feel free to reach out to me and I can give you some great restaurant, winery, and “things to do” recommendations!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from this weekend getaway…

I had an unusual experience at Herdner Estates.  As I was checking out their barn wedding venue, the door slammed closed behind me (there was not a breeze to shut it!)  The winery staff later informed me that friendly spirits reside in the barn.
