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.

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.
