Brittany and Paul were married on a gorgeous Saturday earlier this month. Their ceremony was held at St. Catherine’s in Gibsonia and Brittany was absolutely stunning. She has a classic look about her like a Hollywood beauty from the ’30s or ’40s.
Although her dress was the latest in fashion with a fitted bodice and asymmetrical gathers below the drop waist.
And Paul was very distinguished in his uniform.
After the ceremony they released some doves at the entrance to the church.
Then they headed to their reception at the PPG Aquarium, inside the Pittsburgh Zoo. Here’s a great photo taken by Leeann, a very talented second shooter. Leeann has her own photography business: Leeann Marie Photography.
I love the passionate kisses that take place over the course of a wedding. Here’s one right after the cake cutting.
And here’s the last for this blog entry (more to come soon!). This is my favorite image of Brittany and Paul dancing. To me, this image just breathes the peace and happiness you feel as a newly married couple when you finally get a moment to let it all sink in. Congratulations Brittany and Paul! Blessings to you and your marriage!

“Why pears?” you ask. Why not? I’m working on a light painting project and the first assignment was the painted pear. It was lit with a small tungsten flashlight. Thanks to Cara, my fearless comrade who held a diffuser and painted the light at the same time!
This has been a much more subtle approach for me. I like to write with LED lights and have been asking bridal parties to give it a try. I’m nearly done with editing those weddings and will post them soon…
A candy bar and a cookie table = one happy sweet tooth.
Their cake was made of cupcakes in fall hues with a top tier that the bride and groom could cut.
The linens were stunning with napkins that perfectly accented the fall theme.
Another view of the cake:
And last, but not least, here’s a fun image of the maid of honor toasting the bride:

Danielle and Chris celebrated the season with the colors of fall. Their ceremony was held at St. Lawrence O’Tool, a Catholic church in Bloomfield with a reception at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral, in their Cathedral Room in the church’s lower level. It is a lovely venue with lots of natural light. Decor and other finishing touches were provided by Holloway Events. And DJ Andy Booth of AJB Productions kept the dance floor busy.
Here is a quiet moment during the ceremony where Danielle and Chris shared a quick smile.
On the way to the reception, they decided to swing by the carousel in Schenley Plaza.
Chris is such a gentleman as he guides his beautiful bride up the stairs at the Carnegie Institute.
These guys know how to have fun and made it work in front of the camera.
The couple entered their reception to Seasons of Love from RENT. I love that song and it really fit the mood they were aiming for.
And here’s their first dance.
More photos of the details of their day to come…
Congratulations Danielle and Chris! Many blessings to you!

Children’s portraits have always fascinated me. Not being a mother myself, I can really appreciate how mothers can encourage the tiniest of babies to smile and no less, soothe their crying. This is all the more important in the studio when the photographer has the perfect shot lined up, it’s truly magic when it all comes together. Here are a few sweet portraits of some of the cutest little ladies in my neighborhood.
