Erin and Adrian are married! These two live in New York City, but planned their Pittsburgh wedding to take place at the Hilton Garden Inn, Southpointe. We were so honored that they chose us to capture their special day.

Because their ceremony was to start later in the evening, Erin and Adrian chose to meet each other for a “first look” beforehand. We loved photographing this special and dramatic moment!

Love the look on Adrian’s face the first time he saw his gorgeous bride:

One of our favorite images from the day:

Their reception was filled with beautifully planned details and lots of fun dancing.

Thanks to Erin and Adrian for such a wonderful wedding day. We loved working with you both! Enjoy more of their wedding day images in the slide show.

Stephanie and Corey are married! We were so excited to be a part of their wedding day – especially since we’ve known their family for awhile (ever since we photographed Stephanie’s sister Jamie’s wedding a few years ago). Both of their families are a ton of fun and we found ourselves joking and laughing with them throughout the entire day.

Stephanie’s favorite color is orange, so they filled their wedding day with the bright, vibrant color. Stephanie even wore bright orange shoes!

We took some time before the ceremony to photograph Stephanie and her bridesmaids and family in the courtyard at the Marriott.

We headed over to Bunker Hill Community Church in Aliquippa, where we met Corey and his groomsmen for some pre-ceremony photos. Stephanie and Corey chose the quaint church for their ceremony location because it has special significance – Stephanie’s parents were married there years ago.

After the ceremony, we headed to downtown Butler for some pictures in the park.

Their reception was held at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott. We were thrilled to get to work with DJ Bob from All Pro USA again – he was the DJ at Jamie’s wedding years ago. A great DJ and wonderful guy to work with!

Stephanie, Corey and all of their family and friends danced the night away together – and these people LOVE to dance! We couldn’t resist adding a few of our favorite dance pictures to the post:

Thanks Stephanie and Corey for a wonderfully fun wedding day. Check out more of their pictures in the slide show:

Leanne and Justin are engaged and will be getting married in just a few weeks. We had such a fun time with them on their urban engagement session downtown – it’s easy to see why they make such a great couple. Here are a few of our favorites from the shoot:

Thanks guys for such an awesome afternoon!

Rebecca and Seth are an amazing couple. They are both so warm, welcoming and family-oriented, that their choice to be married outdoors on a sunny farm seemed to be the perfect fit. They chose Armstrong Farms in Saxonburg for their ceremony and reception location, and the day couldn’t have been more beautiful.

Rebecca and Seth are extremely creative people and incorporated many of their own special touches into the wedding day. Rebecca owns a dress making company, Annabel and Ruby, and designed her own wedding gown. She also made the programs, cookie bags, flower girl dresses and invitations (just to name a few). Her sister, Catherine, even designed and made their wedding cake. Needless to say, we had such a fun time photographing all of the details!

Rebecca was a gorgeous and glowing bride with her spring bouquet and chic vintage style. We loved the flower choices, which were designed and created by Mocha Rose Floral and Event Design.

Seth and his groomsmen were a ton of fun. We took some time before the ceremony to grab some casual shots hangin’ around the farm.

Rebecca and Seth chose to meet each other before the ceremony. We loved capturing this special moment between them.

The ceremony took place later in the afternoon. Rebecca and Seth chose a self-uniting ceremony, which we learned is legal in Pennsylvania because of its Quaker roots. It was wonderfully intimate – family members had the chance to speak about the couple and Rebecca and Seth exchanged their personally-written vows for one another.

Stella, Armstrong Farms’ goose even made an appearance during the ceremony to peck at rose petals (and at Derrick too).

After the ceremony, everyone went into the huge, red-roofed barn for dinner and dancing. We loved how the room was decorated with paper lanterns.

Thank you Rebecca and Seth for letting us be a part of your day! Check out more of their wedding images in the slideshow:

Chris and Amy are engaged! Their wedding date is July 4th this year, and we’re so excited to get to spend the day with them. They currently reside in North Carolina, but were able to meet us for their engagement session during one of their busy wedding planning trips to the ‘Burgh. Choosing the South Side and Mt. Washington for their session, we were able to combine the urban feel they were looking for with great views of the city.

Thanks for a wonderful time guys! Your wedding is going to rock!!

We’ve been friends with Danielle and Brian for a few years, so when we were asked to photograph their wedding, we were honored to be part of their big day. We also had the pleasure of photographing Danielle’s sister Jen’s wedding a few years ago, so we knew we were in for a good time!

We met Danielle at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in the South Hills for some pre-ceremony pictures.

Then we headed over to St. Sylvester Parish, the ceremony location, for some pictures with Brian and his groomsmen.

We did a lot of “dodging the raindrops” that day, but we were able to get some great shots of Danielle and Brian outside of the reception, which was held at Holy Cross Community Center.

Congratulations Danielle and Brian! Check out more of their wedding day images in the slide show:
