jenna & ian 6.19.10

How can I call what I do a job when you get to work with couples like Jenna and Ian? I have been blessed with such awesome couples.

Their wedding was held at the Harbison Chapel in Grove City. This was the first time I was at the Grove City Campus and I must say, it was quite beautiful. We then traveled to The Corinthian for the reception where Scott Miser of Magic Moments handled the entertainment.


I confess, my absolute favorite time to photograph during a wedding is when I get my couples alone. I honestly did not want to release Jenna & Ian to go to the reception. I could have photographed them the entire evening. Such a stunning couple!

katie & bryan 5.29.10

Introducing the new Mr. & Mrs. Scott. Katie and Bryan were married at the Good Samaritan Parish in Ambridge and held their reception at St. Frances Cabrini also in Ambridge. I must say it was a delight to share this day with them. Thank you, Jessica for assisting me during the day!


You have no idea what it took to get Katie into her gown. I was laughing as I watched the girls actually reading directions to figure the back out. Awwww...the price of beauty. I would say it was all worth it. Katie looked absolutely beautiful.



Scott looked pretty good himself, I must say.






These families KNOW how to have a good time. The dance floor was always filled.

kiersten & matt 10.31.09

Kiersten & Matt held their ceremony at First Presbyterian Church in Beaver. Their reception was held at Rolling Acres. Kiersten's gown was a real showstopper. I loved how she described it..."Business up front, with a party in the back." When she turned around, the gown just flowed down in cascades. Gorgeous. It went great with her theme...peacock feathers. Her bouquet was just breathtaking.

Another trend I am beginning to see at receptions is the candy bar. Western Pennsylvania is known for having the infamous "cookie table." However, some brides are choosing to switch this tradition with candy instead. My daughters REALLY love this switch! First thing they always ask me is if I have any treats for them when I come home from a wedding. Boy, were they excited when I gave them their bag of candy.

I have never seen cream colored peacock feathers. Truly unique.

It was a bit chilly taking photos outside at the end of October. You would never know it based on how happy Kiersten looks. We found some overgrown weeds and had some fun taking photos.

Of course, I had to use gumballs to showcase the rings.
