Tara + Mike = 03.17.12

Who would believe that we would have almost 70 degree weather on St. Patrick’s day this year?  Surely not Tara and Mike who planned to share their wedding anniversary with the popular holiday!  Tara carefully planned each little detail to include the holiday’s theme but in a classy and vintage style.  Tara’s dress was absolutely to die for, simply elegant (with pockets!!) and a beautiful bird cage veil to top it all off.  Maybe the most exciting part of her wedding day attire was her shoes though, that sparkled like Dorothy’s shoes from the Wizard of Oz, only in St. Patrick’s Day green!

In a total coincidence, Tara & Mike also got married at Seton Hill’s Chapel, (just like Siena & Greg had the week before), so we were super familiar with the area and what would be good for portraits afterwards.  After a couple on campus we headed to Ligonier where the reception was held and grabbed some photos in Town Square as well.  It was a perfect day for photos!

The evening ended at The Barn at Millcreek, a relatively new facility in Ligonier.  It was the perfect blend of rustic and class for their vintage St. Patrick’s Day theme.  Loved the details of four leaf clovers for favors, leprechauns for table numbers and green beer of course!  The crowd partied the night away to the fabulously talented Andy Booth.

Enjoy the photos of their perfect day!

Siena + Greg = 03.10.12

I met Siena and Greg just last Tuesday, 3 days before their wedding and after traveling from their hometown in Alaska. Most would not want to meet their photographer for the first time and be bothered by the details of their wedding day after getting off the airplane, but they did just that! I knew instantly when meeting them that their wedding day was going to be something special and that it was going to be an honor to be there to document their day for them.
Siena is absolutely stunning, she can walk into a room and instantly brighten it with her smile. Greg is just as handsome and has a fantastic sense of humor. It is no question why the two of them have ended up together and why their love is so strong and evident to everyone around them.
We started the day at Seton Hill where the two of them met several years ago. They met in class and have been inseparable ever since, even in moving together to Alaska.
After the ceremony and many family portraits, we headed out for some photos on the lawn and drive for Seton Hill before heading down into Greensburg and getting some photos in front of the infamous Palace Theatre and The Rialto Bar next door.
The reception was then held at the Four Points Sheraton, where they danced the night away.
We loved being a part of their wedding day and capturing these images for them. Hope that you enjoy a peek into their perfect day!

Charlie “Beaker” – One Year Old!

I have known Charlie’s parents way before he was even a thought in their minds! I was blessed to be able to document their wedding back in 2006 and then Charlie’s entire first year! I loved seeing him grow and his collection of Muppets grow as well for each session! Can’t wait to see you at 18 months Charlie Beaker!

Stephanie + Jonathan = True Romance Session

Stephanie & Jonathan trusted me enough to book me for their special day without meeting me in person, so their engagement session was also our first time getting to know each other even better than through the emails we have been exchanging.  When first meeting them it is obvious what a beautiful couple the two of them are, but it does not take long to absolutely just be in awe of their inner beauty and the beauty of the love that they have for one another.

Stephanie’s dream was to have snow for her engagement photos, but with this unpredictable winter and my schedule, we had to put something on the calendar not knowing what cards the weather would be dealing that day.  We planned to meet at Hartwood Acres so that we could utilize indoors as well as outdoors in the chance that we were just going to have a dreary, snow-less, winter background (not that I don’t love working those days either!)  As I headed out that day I drove through an incredible snow squall and I thought for sure that Stephanie was going to get her wish, but upon arriving at Hartwood was greeted with blue skies and not a flake of snow in the air.  Just as we were ready to start shooting in the mansion I noticed a couple of snowflakes outdoors and suggested that we grab a couple of shots just in case it came and went as quick as the last storm.  Boy was I wrong!!  We were able to create some intimate portraits in the Grand Hall and staircases indoors where it was nice and toasty before we stepped out in what soon became a full out blizzard!

Hartwood Acres is beautiful anytime of year for photo sessions, but add a couple so much in love and some huge snowflakes and the place is magical.  We grabbed some photos around the mansion before heading down to the barn since both Stephanie and Jonathan have a love for horses.  They were so natural together and didn’t need direction to enjoy each other!  They were so fun to shoot and I am thrilled with the results from our winter wonderland session.  Cannot wait to see what these two bring to their May wedding.  I know the day will be full of love and I am so thrilled to be a part of it!

And of course…a slideshow!
