Anjeli and Avash Wedding Omni William Penn Pittsburgh
Anjeli and Avash were married on April 21, 2012 beginning with Mehndi, the henna ceremony at home on Thursday followed by Sangeet, the pre-wedding ceremony of celebration, singing and dancing and performances on Friday, through Ashirwad, the blessing of the couple and some serious partying and celebration at The Omni William Penn Hotel culminating in a goodbye Sunday brunch.
What a sensational celebration! Anjeli and Avash are such a warm, loving couple with wonderful families and a great group of friends. It was an honor to have had the opportunity of photographing the beginning of their new life together.
It was the first time that we had the opportunity of working with our good friend, Erin Calvimontes, the owner of Divine Celebrations. She did a fabulous job, not only with the gorgeous decorations but also with the stellar coordination of the 4 days of activities.
She put together a great team of vendors.

Zhaobo and Yinfeng Pittsburgh Engagement Session
Zhaobo and Yinfeng will be getting married in China in April. They both work here in Pittsburgh and wanted to show some of the Pittsburgh landmarks in their wedding attire at our pre-wedding session this past weekend, ending with tea at our studio. I wasn’t sure culturally, how much hugging and kissing was appropriate, to which Yinfeng responded – OH, THAT’S FINE!
When Barb and I suggested that we come to China to photograph their wedding, they just smiled. We’re not kidding! We take pictures for food – oh, well maybe airline tickets and a bed too. Congratulations!
Zina and Felix Pittsburgh Engagement Session
We had so much with Zina and Felix at their engagement session last week. They’re such a sweet couple and their love for each other really shines through in their photographs. They’ll be getting married at The Pittsburgh Renaissance at the end of the month. We can’t wait!
Chelsea and David – Wedding at The Renaissance Hotel Pittsburgh
We’re always honored when we’re asked to photograph one of our bride or groom’s sibling’s weddings. It’s so much fun to see everyone and we feel like we’re already part of the family.
Chelsea and David were married at The Renaissance Hotel in Pittsburgh with a reception following in their newly updated ballroom. After spending some time with Chelsea and David at their engagement session, we knew we would have a great time at their wedding.
We love working at The Renaissance. It’s a beautiful hotel and they really did a great job with their recent renovation. Tony Lee, the banquet director is amazing – always trying to add a special touch for his clients and totally engaged, making sure that the day runs smoothly.
Our good friends, Marco and Jenny at Cana Films captured the motion imagery. It’s always a great time when we work together and I can’t wait to see how they tell the story of Chelsea and David’s wedding day through a different art form.
Chelsea and David’s beautiful cake was created by Cakes by Tammy.
Their unique and beautiful florals were provided by Karrie Hlista Designs.
Chelsea’s awesome gown was from Bridal Beginning.
Jeremy Ganns – it’s been a while since we worked together and I had forgotten just how good he is – kept the evening rocking as disk jockey and MC.

Chelsea and David enjoyed their honeymoon in Germany where they met. What a beautiful winter wedding and a great start to our 2012 wedding season. Thank You!
New Website
This is always the time of year, our off-season, when we step back, catch our breaths and evaluate our business.
We review all of our procedures looking for improvements in efficiency, work on our marketing plan, our budget, taxes : { work on new samples and review our website. We touch base with vendors and catch up with our past clients while finalizing albums from the end of last year.
One of our most ambitious but most important projects is a new website and a new online gallery. We have 3 main websites, a mobile website, a blog and a client gallery website that we’re trying to manage – it’s an almost impossible task.
So, working with our incredible graphic designer Anne Lehman of Anne Lehman designs and Avenue Anne, we’re in the process of consolidating all of our websites into a new, mobile friendly site. It’s a monumental task – one that we’re tackling on our off hours – but it’s getting there and we’re getting more and more excited as it’s coming together.
Here’s a sneak preview of our new look.
