Erin & Christopher

Erin was all smiles when I first saw her getting her make-up on at the CJ Cochran Salon. Just as a bride should be on her wedding day. She had everything planned - right down to the Mrs. Bruno hanger her wedding dress hung on. One special highlight for me was Christopher's toast honoring their parents. It was very touching and brought tears and laughter by all.

Chris and Erin's wedding ceremony was held at the St. Mary Mother of Hope in New Castle followed by a reception at the Scottish Rite Cathedral.

I have absolutely no idea what was going on in this next photography. It sure was fun to capture on my fish-eye.

A tender moment after the cake cutting.

Wishing you both all the happiness life has to offer!

Brooke & Christopher 6.25.11

I just love this couple. I remember when I first met them for their engagement session. They were up for anything - even in the scorching, sticky weather that we were having. We traveled down to a creek in Ellwood City and then over to a barn owned by a friend. Through it all, they kept smiling and laughing, even when I knew that the heat was making them as miserably hot as I was. Humidity is my sworn enemy.

Brooke & Christopher held their ceremony at the Holy Family Church in New Brighton. Their reception was held at the SNPJ in Enon Valley with Scott, of Magic Moments, entertaining the guests.

Enjoy their slideshow. I am trying something a little new, so cross your fingers that there aren't any glitches!

Note: To view the slideshow on a full screen, make sure it is on 480p at the bottom. This setting provides the best resolution.

Don't forget to also check out the online gallery.

Of course, I have to include some of my favorite pics of the day.

Can you stay stunning?

Look at Brooke's expression as she sees the surprise the wedding party purchased for them.

Niiiiicccceeeee....

julie & matthew 7.2.11

I am always a little bit nervous when I don't get to meet the bride and groom before their wedding due to distance. However, I knew I would like Julie when she told me about her dog stealing some cookies she had just made while we were talking on the phone. She just seemed so good natured. I wasn't wrong.

The ride to Uniontown is a long one, but it allowed for some great conversation with my partner in crime, Beth Spence. The only hitch came when the GPS took us to the wrong house due to a glitch in addresses or something. A couple minutes later, all was well.

Julie and Matthew held their wedding at the St. George Maronite Catholic Church. Their ceremony followed at the infamous Nemacolin Woodlands Resort. I could photograph their all day! Such a beautiful resort.

Jinkees, I am behind with my blogging. This summer is flying by!

This was a wedding where I really wanted to put down my camera and join in. One problem when you are photographing a wedding, it is really difficult to mingle with friends. I am always afraid I am going to miss something.

Amy and Joel held their ceremony and reception at The Edgeworth Club in Sewickley. The country club has a gorgeous staircase that we used for Amy & Joel's first look before their ceremony. One highlight for me was when Amy's father played the violin during their ceremony. Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe the moment.
