JULIA & BRANDON

 
Having Tamara and Jeff capture our wedding day is a decision we will be happy with for the rest of our lives! They are so easy going, accommodating, and not to mention, fun to work with! Taking tons of pictures with them is painless - yet they might just make you cry when you see how beautiful your photographs are! Thank you so much!

ALAINA & ALEX | WEIRTON WV

I’ve known Alaina since she was a little girl. She’s now a beautiful young woman who married her soul mate. Alex is perfect and together they are magic! Their wedding took place at Sacred Heart of Mary (Weirton, WV) on a crisp, yet beautifully sunlit day on March 11th. After the ceremony, their elegant reception took place at the St. Florian Hall in Wintersville, OH. Catering by Piergallini’s, Flowers by Fern Landesberg-Myers, music and entertainment by the fabulous Jonathan Mihellis of Finest Events.

 
 

TESSA & CARL

The moment I sat down with Carl and Tessa I knew their wedding day was going to be spectacular. Elegant. We had the opportunity to shoot in a church we had never been in before (which is rare) and what a gem! St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Steubenville, OH is absolutely gorgeous. The wedding was followed by a spectacular reception held at Williams Country Club in Weirton, WV. Despite a little bit of rain, the day was perfect. Carl is all about surprises – and the big one of the day was a horse drawn carriage provided by Carriage Limousine Service.
We were so honored that Carl and Tessa chose us to document their big day!

 

GWEN & ALEX | WEIRTON, WV

Gwen and Alex have a true love story. Mature couples have a very special way about them and the love that surrounds them is contagious! I will always remember their Anniversary as they got married on my “adoption” birthday. Alex is a retired fire-fighter and wore his dress uniform for the wedding. Quite dapper! The ceremony was at the Kings Creek Chapel and the reception at the Chapel’s hall.

 
 

ALEXIS & FRANK

This time of year always puts me in the mood to head south! Celebrating the 1 year anniversary (soon) of two very special people who tied the knot in one of our favorite places! Last year we shot the destination wedding of our lifelong babysitter/house-sitter and good friend – and to double the pleasure, she and her fiance chose to marry in our favorite city; Key West! Nothing short of magical, Alexis and Frank had the perfect day followed by an amazing sunset. Looking for somewhere special to marry your sweetheart? We specialize in destination weddings and can help you plan all things wedding combined with travel. In honor of Alexis and Frank’s 1st Wedding Anniversary (coming up on April 4th), enjoy some wonderful Key West eye-candy…AND, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ALEXIS AND FRANK!!

 
 

BEAUTIFUL WEDDINGS

What a fantastic wedding season this has been! Not only have we worked with fabulous couples, we’ve had the opportunity to work in areas that, even in rain, can be beautiful. From Ohio to Pennsylvania it’s our couples that shine. Here’s a few of our favorite images from 2014 so far!

 
 

DOMINIQUE & CEDRICE

Pittsburgh is definitely a great city for a wedding and what a fantastic wedding we had this weekend! The wedding was at Sanctuary of Praise church and if you don’t feel the Spirit in THIS church, well, then – something’s wrong. We knew it would be special when the rehearsal started with a group prayer involving 40 of us holding hands. I love those kinds of moments where I feel so connected with our clients! The reception was held at the St. Nicholas Orthodox Church banquet hall – and the food was amazing. Sincere thanks to Dominique & Ced (and all their family and friends) for allowing us the opportunity to share in their special day – and we’d also like to thank Pastors Leonard & Adrienne and their awesome musicians for providing one of the most uplifting, heartfelt services we’ve ever attended!!

 
 

STEPHANIE & PRESTON

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of shooting engagements photos for Stephanie and Preston in Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh’s a GREAT place to shoot! This time we began at the Gateway Towers (http://www.gatewaytowerspittsburgh.com/) – a fabulous, 3000+ sq ft. 26th floor penthouse suite that overlooks PNC Park and the Heinz Field (what a view for evening fireworks!). Their shoot was during the Pittsburgh Art Festival so manuevering downtown was a little tricky. We had a gorgeous day and finished our shoot at the HPY Club (http://www.alleghenyhypclub.com/) which turned out to be a gem of a spot for portraits! Stephanie and Preston are getting married in September at the Circuit Center Ballroom and we cannot wait to work with this great looking couple again!
