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!

 
 

UK COLDPLAY CONCERT

Now that we’ve had some time to adjust to the jet lag and reflect on our trip I thought I’d post a few pics. Although we were in Manchester specifically for the Coldplay concert [which was incredible], I must say – the English people are wonderful and I wish I’d had more time to spend in their country. Not only a beautiful place, but beautiful people as well. Manchester is well known for being a Christmas shopping destination and we met several people from other parts of the country who were there just for that purpose. We were amazed at how social they are and how fashionable as well. They dress up to shop! No jeans and hoodies – guys and ladies alike both take great care in choosing their wardrobe before heading out for a day of browsing and shopping and, in fact, many women pulled roller boards for their purchases!
Here are a few pics from our trip…

 
 

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!
