North Park Maternity Session: Emily and Zach

My brother and sister in law are expecting their first baby! I couldn’t be happier or more excited for them, as they are about to embark on parenthood. My future niece or nephew is due at the beginning of July, so we had to hurry up and take some photos before it’s arrival. We finally found a perfect evening with a beautiful sunset in North Park. Emily and Zach are going to be wonderful parents!

A Seattle Wedding: Gwen and Nicholas

Gwen and Nick are perfect for each other. I always knew Gwen would meet a profound man to spend the rest of her life with, and she did just that. They had a lovely afternoon ceremony and cocktail reception at East Shore Unitarian Universalist Church.

This wedding is extremely close to my heart. My best friend of 10 years married the love of her life in a beautiful church underneath the tall trees of Seattle. I was not only the wedding photographer of this perfect event, but the Matron of Honor as well. I agreed to do both important jobs with my bouquet in my left hand and my camera in my right. I would like to send a special thanks to Nick’s sister and Mom, who made sure I was in a few shots too!

I love you both so much, Gwen and Nick! Congratulations on your new marriage and thank you for allowing me to be apart of it!

Barker Family and Newborn Session

It goes without saying that I adore this family. They made me cry at their wedding with all the incredibly moving details. A baby boy coming down the aisle with a “Here comes my mommy ” balloon? There wasn’t a dry eye! Now that little boy is a hilarious big brother, and I couldn’t be happier for this family! I had so much fun meeting baby Elias. I love watching this family grow!

Riverview Park Ceremony: Cecilia and Nick

After too many years apart, Cecilia and Nick rekindled their relationship. A few months into reuniting, they decided to make the deepest commitment to one another. On a warm Friday afternoon in Riverview Park, with only their closest family and friends in attendance, they tied the knot. It was simply stated, to the point, and focused on them spending the rest of their lives together. It was an honor to be apart of this and I send the warmest of wishes to the new Mr and Mrs!

Pittsburgh Glass Center Reception: Megan and Lee

Megan and Lee were married in July at a private ceremony at the groom’s family farm. On Saturday, August 8th 2015, they celebrated at the Pittsburgh Glass Center with all their friends and family. By celebrate, I mean they blew the roof of the building. This was such an incredibly enjoyable shoot. Megan and Lee have an impossibly fun and lighthearted feel, not to mention, great taste in dance music. Cheers!

Gable Farms Wedding: Brenda and Mark

Brenda and Mark were married on Saturday, August 1st 2015 at Gable Farms in Mercer, Pennsylvania. Greek life at Robert Morris University brought this fun and incredibly nice couple together. Their wedding, their bridal party, and their guests were an absolute blast! I hope their honeymoon in Punta Cana was amazing.

St. Clair Country Club Wedding: Katy and Jerry

Katy and Jerry met and were eventually married on Saturday, July 18th 2015 at St. Thomas More Church. This incredibly down to earth and sweet couple hosted their reception at St. Clair Country Club. I had such a great time getting to know this couple! Mike and I had so much fun at the reception, especially when the masks came out!

Chelsea and Kevin were married on Saturday, June 20th 2015 at Christ Church at Grove Farm, followed by a small reception at Sewickley Valley YMCA. Chelsea is one of the absolute sweetest women I have ever met. I am so happy we were introduced and that I could be apart of their special day!

Strip District Engagement: Jamie and Shawn

Jamie and Shawn are getting married at Lingrow Farm this October, so they wanted to shake it up by having their engagement session in the city. They met years ago at PNC Park, so we of course had to make a quick stop at the North Shore. This couple is so fun and laid back, and I know their wedding will be the same way!
