Rachel and Craig

I met Craig at the Renaissance Hotel and we did photographs on the 6th St bridge. It was a beautiful day and he had the guys with him along with his 2 brothers. It was a lot of fun, they were great to work with!
Rachel was getting dressed in her hotel room and we headed there next. Allison Roth from "Eyelashes by Allison" was doing her makeup. Did some window shots of her and off to United Methodist Calvery Church on the north side. Beautiful big church!
Location photos were at the PPG and then the 6th St bridge. The bridge was closed, was a Pirate game and there were hundreds of people going to PNC Park. Everyone was congratulating them! We got the bridal party spread out across the bridge-the crowd held back while we got a few quick shots- Back at the Renaissance Tony got all the guests on the staircase for a group shot. He's the absolute best! Their reception was beautiful, The Renaissance is so elegant-staff and chef truly 4 diamond. At the end of the evening PNC had awesome fireworks. We got amazing shots with Rachel and Craig in front of the windows overlooking the park. It was a wonderful wedding! Enjoy the webshow!

Nicole and Nick

I did Nicole's sister Amanda's wedding in 2006 and today was her day! Arrived at her home in Glenshaw and was nice to see her mom, dad and Amanda again. Nicole has gorgeous long red curly hair. She is a stunning bride! The wedding was at Ingomar United Methodist, which I've been to many times including Amanda's wedding. The church is big and bright and a great place to photograph in. After family photos we headed to Twelve Oaks Mansion in Mars. It's on top of a hill and it was very windy. One of my favorite shots is of Nicole and Nick with Nicole's hair blowing across both their faces. They are a wonderful couple and we have lots of great shots. Nick was on the dance floor all night with the bridal party. Lots of great candids!


August 15-just finished the design for Nicole and Nick's wedding book. It is a magazine style in a 10x10 size with 21 spreads. Once approved, they will select their cover. This is the link to it:

New York City Engagement

Lauren and Nick live in NYC and wanted their engagement session there. So, we headed to NY and met them at Bryant Park. It was very crowded (NYC!!) but still got photos in front, by the lions, the carousel and off to the side. We then headed to Grand Central Station for a few shots. While there Stacy and Clinton from "What Not to Wear" were filming and saw them before wisked off to where ever! Did some cool shots on the subway and then to their apartment on the East Side to change and relax a bit. Ruppert Park is close by and its where they go read and relax. So we did some shots there. Lauren actually hung from a jungle gym bar and did the upside down kiss! It was a fun day! Their wedding is Oct 23 at the Hydeholde.

Valerie and Jason

Valerie lives close to me and went to the same high school as my daughter. Her family is so nice, and she was a gorgeous bride! I had done engagement photos of her and Jason last autumn in North Park. Anyway, she had all her bridesmaids at the house and they all helped her get dressed. The ceremony was at Zion Lutheran on Brownsville Rd and their reception was at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott. On route we stopped at Campbells Run for photos at the waterfall. The photos of her and Jason with the waterfall in the background are awesome!Since this was the 4th of July they celebrated with sparklers in the courtyard. They are back from their honeymoon and we are setting up a trash the dress session. Trying to decide where to go-let you know when that is up!
