Shannon and Vernon – Wedding

Shannon_VernonAfter spending some time with Shannon and Vernon at their engagement session, we knew we going to have a blast with them on their wedding day.

February weddings can either bring sunny days or snowy weather and thankfully, we missed the onslaught of our daily blizzard conditions of just a few days before. It was a perfect day – just a little snow on the ground for the beautiful look of winter white.

Shannon and Vernon were married at Heinz Chapel with a reception following at The Pittsburgh Athletic Association, a beautiful historic ballroom and building based on the 16th century Venetian Renaissance palace, Palazzo Grimani di San Luca.

With help from the always creative planners at Trends to Traditions, the ballroom, decorated in an old Hollywood theme looked gorgeous.

Shannon’s Jasmine Couture gown was stunning and she looked amazing. Her cake was designed by Creative Cakes and her awesome floral and table arrangements by Allison McGeary. Jeremy Ganns did a great job as DJ and Videosac provided motion imagery.

While we usually stay together as a team, considering the timing of the day, Barb hung out with the guys and I with the ladies. We had so much fun. It was a perfect beginning to our 2010 wedding season.

Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

Snow for Sale!

Buy one bucket for .50 get the second bucket free!  We ship anywhere in the U.S.

Okay, I’m kidding really – but what better way to preserve the absoulte stunning beauty of a winter snow storm than through photographs?  I can think of nothing better on a hot sunny day then to sit with a cold drink in hand and gaze at scenes of a freezing cold winter day!

We had the chance to photograph a few wintry sessions, including these fabulous photos of Kim, Kelsey & Nolan.  The kids were willing models and so adorable; red-headed twins!!  No words needed to describe Mom’s good looks but what most strikes me about her is her powerful love for her kids.  I love looking at these photos because I remember the tender look on her face as she watched her kids being photographed.

For anyone else willing to brave the elements with us – let’s go!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!

I love Birthdays!  Sometime during the day I think about what it would be like if the Birthday girl or boy hadn’t been born and I say a little thank you in my head for the chance to celebrate.  Not a big hootin and hollerin kind of thing, just reflection.  So, Kate’s birthday is no different, but in addition, she is ‘the baby’ and she is now 17!!!  Now that is cause for celebration; in the words of the Black Eyed Peas – It’s going to be a good, good night – I can feel it!  Wish Dave and Nina were here for the festivities.  They’ll be balloons and presents and the traditional birthday tablecloth.  And oh yes, cupcakes!

Happy Birthday Kate – we love you!

Shannon and Vernon Engagement

Shannon and JordanBarb and I had a blast with Shannon and Vernon at their engagement session and we’re really looking forward to their wedding in a couple of weeks.

Their ceremony will be at Heinz Chapel with a reception following at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association. Katherine Shaw at Trends to Traditions is helping them plan their event with an old Hollywood theme. I know it’s going to be awesome.

Shannon will be getting ready at The Mansion at Maple Heights, which is on our list for a quick in-town getaway. It looks very cool.

We can’t wait for wedding day!!
