Bride In the Rose Garden!

This is just one of many beautiful images we captured at our weekend wedding in Pittsburgh, PA. This was taken in the Rose Garden of the Mellon Mansion (now the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts). This wedding venue is a relative "candy store" of gorgeous locations in which to shoot a wedding (or anything else for that matter!). I can't wait to post more for you to see! In the meantime, enjoy our beautiful bride in one of the most lovely places in Pennsylvania!

Baby, I'm Yours!

This shot was captured "on the fly" as with many toddler photographs! My assistant's light was coming in from cameral left and illuminated this angels's face perfectly while my fast shutter speed darkened the background substantially. A quick black and white conversion and PRESTO!....a gorgeous baby portrait that looks as through it was taken in a studio instead of outside in the grass at a "pause point" in this active little girl's meanderings!! In other words, I got lucky!

Family Portrait

This will, no doubt, be my favorite family shot of our family session yesterday! I love the simplicity of the background and how it fades softly out of focus, making the family pop out of the image! Just before I took this picture, the sun broke through and put a "kick" light on the subjects, further separating them from the rest of the picture. Come back and see us for more from this family shoot.

Quiet Reflection

Right before we left the church for the reception, I asked the bride and groom to pause in the aisle and look at each other while my assistant got behind them for this beautiful backlit silhouette. It's one of my favorites!

It's All About Family!

I just loved this image from one of last weekend's weddings! The bride and groom wanted as many family members as they could get in the shot (from both sides) and I think we did a pretty good job of including everyone that wanted in!

Wedding Drama

I thought you'd enjoy this image from one of our weekend weddings (that's right, we photographed TWO!). I love everything about this one... the sky, the couple, the hillside. Enjoy and stayed with us for more from BOTH weddings!

Special Olympics Summer Games!

Once again, we were deeply honored to be the official photographers for the State Special Olympics Summer Games in Charleston, WV! And, what a special 3 days it was!! Here's a recent image from this weekend. The relay races are always an exciting treat for the athletes and spectators alike! Stay tuned for more...

Bridal Sunset

I love sunset images and this one is one of my favorites! Granted, we had to wait until the sky was just right...but it was worth it! I love how the colors in the sky contrast with the bride's white gown and the darkness surrounding the image! Stay tuned for more exciting weekend images!

A Walk to Remember

This is my favorite image from our recent engagement session! I love how the trees frame our couple and the weathered wood of the barn on the left adds a new dimension of interest to the scene!
