Vintage Barn Styled Wedding

It has been a busy start to the summer for us, and I am thrilled to show you what we have been up to the past few weeks!  Prior to leaving on a  week-long trip to Philadelphia, where I studied under the internationally acclaimed wedding photographer Cliff Mautner (the images I took at his workshop to come on my next blog post) I had the opportunity to partner with some amazing local wedding vendors to showcase their work!

Together with Simply Couture Photography, we created a lovely styled wedding to feature the pieces of Vintage Alley Rentals, Belle Rose Designs, Desiring Joy Design, Clinton Village Candles, and the makeup artistry of Enhance Makeup by Mandy.  And, a very special thank you to our lovely bride Katie for photographing on her birthday!

The scene: Rustic barn, with a jaw-dropping bride.

One Year Old!

This past Sunday, we took pictures to celebrate family- the perfect gift to commemorate Mother’s Day!  It was actually a double celebration, because this blue and bright-eyed sweetheart is one year old!

We all had such a good time watching this lil’ guy play with the balloons, crawl-sprint through the grass, and eat (or should I say inhale) his first cupcake!

Britney + Drew | The George Washington Hotel Wedding

Britney and Drew’s wedding day was nothing short of exquisite!  Their ceremony and reception were held at The George Washington Hotel, a historic, classy and romantic venue that is decorated with old world chandeliers, furnished with modern details, and full of candlelit ambiance.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Britney’s talented brother Brian handmade TWO absolutely stunning dresses as Britney’s wedding gift- one for the ceremony and one for the reception. Simply stunning.

Desiring Joy | Fashion Photography

If you haven’t yet seen the colorful and chic scarves created by local designer Anna of Desiring Joy, then you must hop over to her Etsy store a.s.a.p. and see what the rave is about! Desiring Joy began when a bank teller complimented Anna on a scarf Anna was wearing and made.  The teller asked if she could buy one from Anna.  Soon to follow, just about every woman working at this bank wanted one of Anna’s handmade scarves, and bought every single one she made!  Fast forward to today- Anna’s store, Desiring Joy, is a wildly popular and successful storefront on Etsy- and I couldn’t have been more honored when she asked me to photograph some of her latest inventory!

Click here to view her Etsy storefront.

A gorgeous model to compliment her cheerful and feminine scarves!

Wedding Photography Welcome Kit Packaging

Last July, I embarked on the mission of creating a new brand, in hopes that this project would be completed by the end of the year.  I had N.O. idea just how long it would actually take to accomplish this project!  It wasn’t just creating and deciding on a logo, but also determining the colors, fonts, materials and style that best represent my brand!  All of this and more, in addition to determining how I wanted my website to look (the website was a completely separate animal!)

Bit by bit, I am tackling pieces of this project, and am having so much fun in the process!  My latest task was to conquer the marketing materials, including my business card and a welcome kit for my wedding couples.  And yes, I absolutely had to throw in a little bit of sparkle to this kit!

Here are some of the items my wedding couples will find in their Welcome Kits (along with a few other surprises that are just for the couple…)Wedding Welcome Kit: Wedding Photographer | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographers | Lavender Leigh Photography | BlogWedding Welcome Kit: Wedding Photographer | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographers | Lavender Leigh Photography | BlogWedding Welcome Kit: Wedding Photographer | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographers | Lavender Leigh Photography | BlogWedding Welcome Kit: Wedding Photographer | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographers | Lavender Leigh Photography | BlogWedding Welcome Kit: Wedding Photographer | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographers | Lavender Leigh Photography | Blog
