The Woods at Eisler Farms Wedding | Brianne & Dave
These two had a magical fairytale wedding in the forest - with beer. Not kidding, there was a separate beer truck and everything! Plus the tables were decorated with growlers from local breweries. Pretty amazing if you ask me.
It was my first time at this venue, and it is literally a dream if you love the outdoors. Beautiful woods, farm tables, a tented reception, and a ceremony overlooking a pond. They had a great sunset to end the day.
Rainy Wedding at the Priory | Salena & Adam
Urgh Pittsburgh weather. Sometimes it doesn’t want to cooperate for a wedding day. Luckily, Salena & Adam were laid-back and open to dancing in the rain! We can always make magic if you’re willing to get the dress wet. For portraits, we headed out to the Highline and captured pictures in the colorful buildings there. We stopped at Smithfield St Bridge on the way back, just to mix things up.
Of course, the rest of the wedding was at the Priory, which is a classic Pittsburgh venue. I always love lit backdrop for the indoor ceremony.
Salt Lake City Wedding | Sam & Curt
You all know how I LOVE to travel. While Covid put a damper on things for a while, now that the whole family is vaccinated, I was so ready to get back at it! We kicked it off in a big way with a week long vacation to capture Sam & Curt’s wedding in Salt Lake! It is such a gorgeous city surrounded by mountains.
These two celebrated with friends and family on the wedding day. Included were special touches with paintings and more. The day after, we adventured into the mountains to grab portraits of the two of them.
Winter Aviary Wedding | Alyssa & Christopher
Alyssa & Christopher’s wedding was my very first wedding back from maternity leave. And oh my goodness, what a way to kick off 2022! When you get to hang out with penguins, how can you go wrong. These two braved the cold for some gorgeous golden hour portraits, and then got married surrounded by birds, friends, and family. It was a joyous day. Also, still low-key obsessed with Alyssa’s dress. Love the ruffles.
Heinz History Center Wedding | Eric & Brad
Eric & Brad had a beautiful wedding ceremony at Heinz HIstory Center. It was full of little details all about them. My personal favorites were the city neighborhood table names, and the lego details in the name cards and cake!
Cooks Forest Elopement | Crystal & Joe
Crystal & Joe changed their wedding plans to a small and private elopement up at Cooks Forest to avoid the big gathering and keep health and safety top-of-mind during the pandemic. Their portraits were filled with fun hikes through the woods, and their party was a ton of fun! We ended with one of the most epic cake smashes I’ve ever seen.
Energy Innovation Center Wedding | Beth & James
You may remember Beth & James from their magical Chicago engagement session from last year. Their golden retriever likes to steal the show a little, and that trend continued through their wedding! They had a bright and light ceremony at the Energy Innovation Center. Julie Renee Events pulled all the decor together and it turned out amazing!
Intimate Heinz Chapel Wedding | Maddie & Manny
Maddie & Manny had me there to capture their small wedding at Heinz Chapel, followed by running around Pittsburgh capturing their portraits. It was a fun day with lots of beautiful stops. You can’t go wrong with the Columns and Washington’s Landing!
