Sundays Session

OMG it was sooo hot! I met Tricia and Cristian at Station Sqaure for an e-session. Was early but still hot and humid. They were such fun to work with! Their wedding is next June and will be at Phipps. Here are a few favs in a webshow. This is the design for their "Save the Date" magnets.

Book Designs

I was thinking that it might be nice to create a webshow of some book designs. So, these are a few that I pulled from the website. The books I create are "magazine style". Meaning, the images are part of the page. Some may be placed as the background and all are permanently bound into the book. We include all graphic designs services in our packages and never charge for special effects. If you like selective color, soft focus, b&w or sepia, we'll include those at no charge to you. There are many cover styles that we can offer such as full photo wrap, metallic, acrylic, leathers and two tones. All my designs are custom. I start with a list of your favorite images and create spreads to compliment them. I also design to reflect your taste, to simple spreads or more elaborate collage pages. Your wedding is unique and I feel your wedding book should be "one of a kind" also! The four I put here are just a few of the many on my website under client proofing. Feel free to browse! We also do designs for clients who have the copyrights to their images.











Jamie and Andy

Jamie had an umbrella and rain boots all ready since they were forcasting rain for her wedding day. But the skies were clear! The day was gorgeous and these were the only photos the umbrella was in! Here is her wedding book:

Lauren and Anthony


Lauren and Anthony had Mike Wertz from Caustolet Farms bring his beautiful horse Prince and carriage to their wedding. Lauren rode from the 20th Century Club to Heinz Chapel. After their wedding Lauren and Anthony were driven to Mellon Institute and back to the 20th Century Club. The weather was beautiful and it was a romantic and memorable ride! Here is their wedding book.


You can catch Mike at Station Square. I have known him for serveral years as he was the farrier at our previous barn. You can reach him at http://www.caustelotfarms.com

Rainy Day Wedding


Its always a challenge when it's a rainy day. Thats what happened to Autumn and Justin. The rain started just as we were leaving St Richards and heading outside. But they just went with the flow (!). After giving it a few minutes, they just gathered all the umbrellas and did some outdoor photos. This was in the North Hills at a private home and close the Marriott Cranberry for their reception.

Holly and Mark



Holly and Mark were married at Trinity Cathedral in Pgh with their reception at the Westmoreland Country Club. She was absolutely radiant in her gorgeous gown with an heirloom ring pinned onto her slip. Her hair was pinned on one side with a flower and left long to flow down her back. Her girls wore black tea length dresses to go with their black and white theme. Mark was at Trinity Cathedral when I arrived. He and the guys had a few photos and then Mark's parents and sister who was also in the wedding party. The ceremony was impressive, especially from the balconey and surrounded by the churchs flags. Afterwards we took photos around the church and then headed for the Westmoreland CC. The ballroom was absolutely stunning, Holly and Mark did an incredible job with the planning. The country club decorated their cup cake/cake to match the decor. Everything was coordinated and was so beautiful. A very elegant wedding!
