Here’s the complete scoop on Megan and Zak’s wedding photography. You might want to check out my previous sneak peek as well. This was such a lovely day and it was so much fun to work with Megan and Zak. We started at her parent’s home where Megan and her bridesmaids were getting ready. I really love the design on the back of Megan’s dress. And she looked so pretty in it! And Zak surprised her with a limo for the day—what a sweet groom!

A big Congrats to Courtney and Matt, dear friends of mine who were just married in Charleston, South Carolina. They planned a gorgeous destination wedding there at the Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina and I so happy to have been a part of it. This sneak peek was hard to do because I had a hard time narrowing down the photos to share, but I’ll share lots more in the full blog post sometime next week.
Courtney looked absolutely stunning. I’m partial of course, but she just beamed. And she had an amazing garland of orchids and ivy to wear in lieu of a bouquet.
And Matt and his groomsmen were staying cool as they waited for the ceremony to begin on the pier over the harbor.
The pier made for an awesome aisle for Courtney and her dad to walk down. In my next post, I’ll share an image of the shoes she wore and it just baffles me to think about how she walked down the pier so gracefully in her stilettos.
Their ceremony was really sweet with nervous giggles and a fun story from Courtney’s childhood. But, what I loved most was the way they looked into one another’s eyes.
The bridal party was a fun group. And they all look so good together!
We walked back to the beach for some more photos before heading to the reception.
I also wanted to share a photo of Courtney’s bridesmaids and this one kept coming back to me because they are having so much fun in it. One of the bridesmaids felt something slide down her backside, it was a bobby pin and the photos that followed were pretty funny.
And last, but not least, here’s a portrait of the lovebirds.
Courtney and Matt, congratulations! I am so happy for you two and pray that you will be blessed beyond measure!
Almost two weeks ago, Megan and Zak said I do in a lovely ceremony at St. Mary of the Assumption. This kicks off the first wedding for my 2012 season and I couldn’t think of a nicer couple to usher in the wedding season! I know they’re back from their honeymoon and waiting patiently for this blog post, so I won’t ramble on, but get straight to the good stuff!
This is a sneak peek, so I’m jumping right in for now and will share more details later in the full blog post. They walked out into a sea of bubbles, which is very sentimental for Megan as the bubbles were given to her by her late grandmother.
We headed to Hartwood Acres, which was just a hop, skip, and jump from their church for some photos of the bride and groom.
We caught up with the bridal party for some more portraits at the Mayernick Center during the cocktail hour of their reception. I’ll share some of those photos in their full post.
Here’s a sweet moment during their first dance.
It was a lovely night and I’m looking forward to sharing more from this beautiful wedding.
Megan and Zak, congratulations and many blessings to you and your marriage! Stay posted, more to come!

I always love the opportunity to photograph high school seniors. As a wedding photographer primarily, I like to be able to switch my mindset and focus on photographing people individually. So I was thrilled when I received an inquiry for two high school seniors who happen to be twins, Jack and Alora. They were so much fun to work with and each in their own way. We did two separate sessions on different days and came up with some great shots that I hope really reflect their personalities. Here are some favorites from the sessions.
For Alora, I wanted to photograph her in soft light and was really thrilled with how this one came together—I love her outfit complete with her cute boots and how she is so relaxed and natural.
For Jack, I wanted to go with a more industrial setting, so we moved to an unfinished section of the building with lots of windows which create a really nice rim light around his face. I love how the neutral surroundings and his blue shirt really set off his blue eyes.
I love close-ups and this one of Alora is one of my favorites. She just exudes sweetness.
And when it comes to the traditional yearbook photo, I will always shoot it vertically, but when I’m sure I’ve got what we need, it’s fun to switch it up to a horizontal shot. It just feels so much more free this way and allows some room for Jack to really shine.
Alora collects hats, so we had lots of fun photographing her on white seamless with all of her cute hats. I just love this one because it’s so playful and flirty.
And Jack brought along his guitar—one word describes this one well: heartthrob.
It was so much fun getting to know you, Jack and Alora! I wish each of you the very best in the years to come!
We met up with Valerie and Tom for their engagement session on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, early on a bright Saturday morning a few weeks ago. Alex joined me for this session as some extra added support as I was just getting over some food poisoning. It’s always nice to have such great support in moments when you don’t know if you’re going to toss your cookies! Thankfully, we made it through the session with no incidents and were feeling warm and bright—because it’s hard not to feel that way when you’re hanging out with Valerie and Tom. They are incredibly cute together and so much fun to photograph!
I love photographing couples on the North Shore. That will never get old for me. There’s just something about being down by the river and the view of the city that’s magic no matter what time of the day.
The sun was unmercifully bright, so it made for a lovely opportunity for back-lit portraits. Plus, Valerie and Tom wouldn’t have to squint with the sun in their eyes.
Then we headed over to West Park on Pittsburgh’s North Side to photograph them in a more casual setting. I love this shot by Alex.
The trees were in bloom and the water sparkled, so while it was a little chilly, there’s no telling in these photos. But I guess that had more to do with the warmth between Valerie and Tom than the park’s surroundings.
Tom’s more flirty and Valerie’s more shy. I love that combination.
Tom is from Texas, so they both had these awesome boots that you’d never be able to find in Pittsburgh.
I think their wedding is going to be lots of fun!
Valerie and Tom, thanks for a great session and we’re looking forward to photographing your big day in June!
