Chris & Trina’s Wedding

Sunday was our second wedding for Memorial Day weekend. Sharon and I hit Elizabeth, PA and began the day at Trina’s parent’s home where we arrived to see the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile waiting outside. Right away, we knew we were at the right house!

Trina had driven the Weinermobile for a year after college and she’d told me ahead of time that it would be serving as transportation for the flower girl and ring bearer and I knew it was also an indication that the day was going to be a lot of fun. After the ceremony, Trina and Chris released doves outside the church. That was another first for us and we got some cool shots, especially the one below which is courtesy of Sharon. The day went great and Chris and Trina were so sweet and fun to work with.

Overall, including traveling time we spent just over 24 hours working on Saturday/Sunday. I spent another 1.5 hours each night backing up files and I’m still tired from the weekend. Yep, wedding season is definitely “on”.

Karyn & John’s Wedding

On our first wedding of the holiday weekend, Saturday Sharon and I headed to Sarver, PA to photograph John and Karyn’s wedding. We got there pretty early and it was nice to be able to spend some relaxing time with the bride and groom as well as their friends and family before the days events kicked into gear. The wedding was beautiful as was their reception at the James Centre in Pittsburgh. Karyn and John are both great people and we wish them all the best as they begin their lives together!

Busy, busy, busy

Wedding Season is in full effect and this weekend we’re shooting two couples’ big days. On Saturday we’re going to be photographing Karyn & John’s wedding and on Sunday we’ll be at Chris & Trina’s. Needless to say, this weekend will be really busy and I probably won’t have a new blog until Monday or Tuesday.

On top of the weddings, I’m still in the process of updating my website and that includes a bunch of cool new changes that will go into effect over the summer. The Blog will be updated with a new style and layout which will lead to a more visually exciting page, larger photos and a look that more closely matches the rest of my site. But the biggest change is one I’m keeping under wraps. I should be able to reveal it next week, but let me just say it will be really cool when it’s done.:)

On a less hectic note, if you’ve been a long time reader of my blog, it should be evident that we’re bird watchers. As a side effect of feeding the birds, we have all sorts of wildlife heading into our house to eat the sunflower seeds. One of the regular invaders is “Roxy”, a raccoon who has been climbing onto our back deck and chowing down for the past couple years. She even brings her babies and they’re all very tame. The other night she was at the feeder and I stepped outside to take a few photos. She wasn’t too bothered by the flash and soon ignored me and kept eating.

Have a great holiday weekend!

Lisa & Yaron’s Engagement Photos

This afternoon Lisa and Yaron made the trip in to Somerset for their engagement photos. I first met the couple a few months ago when they booked me for their June wedding and I had a terrific time with them today. They’re a gorgeous couple and both Yaron and Lisa are naturals in front of the camera. Needless to say, I can’t wait to shoot their wedding next month!

Nicole and Thad’s Wedding

Yesterday Sharon and I drove up to Loretto, PA to shoot Thad and Nicole’s wedding. It was our first trip to Loretto, best known as home to St. Francis University, and I wasn’t too familiar with the area. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that their church, the Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel, was gorgeous. Crisp blue skies added a great touch to the outdoor shots which we took by the church and at the Our Ladies of the Allegheny Shrine.

Thad and Nicole are both such nice people and they were a pleasure to work with. I loved that we were able to spend some time together and get some portraits of the two of them before heading to the reception. Overall, it was a great day!
