Highland Park Engagement Session: Morganne and Andrew

There is nothing in the world quite like Golden Hour in October. I was so excited when Morganne and Andrew wanted to meet at Highland Park at sunset for their engagement session! We had a great time chatting about plans for their future on this beautiful night. I can’t wait for their wedding in April 2017!

The Gathering Place at Darlington Lake Wedding: Katie and Joe

Katie and Joe were married on a very warm, but beautiful day by the water! The Gathering Place was filled with so many of their friends and family for such a fun event. Katie and Joe are a very sweet couple, and tied the knot after many years together. I absolutely loved working with them!

**A special thanks to my brother Karl Greif, who not only assisted me, but had a blast with the groomsmen. His shots are mixed in below.

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!

Downtown Pittsburgh Engagement: Amanda and Michael

Amanda, Michael and I met up on Saturday morning for a beautiful spring engagement session in the city.

A Ben Avon Ceremony: Emily and Zach

Emily and Zach have been together for almost 10 years, they are high school sweethearts, and now they are married! On Friday, April 1st 2016, they were united at an intimate ceremony at Community Presbyterian Church in Ben Avon, followed by a big family dinner at our home. When I married my husband, I gained Zach as a little brother. Now I am beyond excited to have Emily as a little sister. I am so happy for them both!

*A special thanks to Caitlin Thomas Verbitsky for stopping by to snap a few family photos of us! Her shot is below.

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!
