Malina and Tim – Heinz Chapel Wedding

Much like Erin and Jon from our last post, Malina and Tim too have been living apart from each other. Malina in Maryland and Tim in Pittsburgh. Seeing the two of them together is nothing short of a delight. You can see it in Tim’s face below, as Malina was escorted down the aisle by her brother. This wedding had an additional special element to it. Malina’s father performed the ceremony that would join these two as one. I always enjoy the father/daughter relationship as I observe these weddings week in and week out. I hold these relationships near and dear to my heart, because I know that the days will come when I proudly hand off my daughter’s to the men that grab hold of their hearts. (I certainly won’t rush these times!)

Malina and Tim were wed in Heinz Chapel and moved the celebration to the University Club, which provides an excellent view of the University of Pittsburgh’s Cathedral of Learning, from the balcony. We had perfect weather throughout the day, which only complimented their closest family and friends. There were so many memorable moments that Alisa and I were able to document. Malina and Tim are a perfect fit and we could not be happier for them.

Thank you for having us there with you! Here are a few of my favorite images from the day.

Erin and John | Pittsburgh Wedding

A continuation of my behind blogging routine;)

Erin and Jon were married on July 10 in front of all of their family and friends. The matrimony held at Sacred Heart Parish (Shadyside), was exquisite to say the least. The ambience of the church and tone of the ceremony lent perfectly to the emotion of the day.

I am so happy for Erin and Jon to have had their day to commit to one another. The two of them have been traveling diligently between Pittsburgh and Washington DC to be with each other and plan the wedding. Their planning aligned perfectly with the results of the day. Living, Loving and Laughter overcame the day.

After the ceremony, the celebration moved to the PPG Aquarium at the Pittsburgh Zoo. This was a unique venue for holding such a celebration. Being surrounded by Stingrays, Sharks and Happy People created a very intriguing environment! Needless to say the day was exactly what they had dreamed and we were fortunate enough to have documented it.

My assistant and very talented second shooter, Alisa, complemented the coverage of the day. You will continue to see a lot more from Alisa moving forward. Bridget and I are very happy to have her on board!

Jackie and Jason | Pittsburgh LeMont Wedding

I am happy to finally share some of my favorite images from Jackie and Jason’s Fourth of July wedding. Their ceremony was held at Westminster Presbyterian Church (in Upper St. Clair) and the celebration immediately followed at the LeMont Restaurant on Mt. Washington, overlooking the beautiful city of Pittsburgh. Did I mention it was the Fourth of July? Such a spectacular view complimented the prestigious gathering of family and friends. Jackie and Jason are very familiar with the spotlight, thankfully to their broadway experience. They were introduced to each other on the Broadway Hit set of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”. I guess you can say the rest is history.

Jackie and Jason are a perfect match for each other. The couple chose to see each other before the ceremony, an especially touching moment, where Jason surprised Jackie with a set of diamond earrings. The connection and energy that the two of them have between each other is extremely contagious.

Jason and Jackie also have a photography business in Jupiter, Florida. It is always a humbling experience when another photographer chooses to have you document their wedding. I am very grateful to them for giving me the privilege.
