The End of Summer

My stepdad brought home flowers for my mom, for no particular reason. What a lovable gesture! The sweet smell of lilies now pervades their house… one of the last remnants of summer.
I leave shortly for a wedding in Philadelphia. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Lea and Bill

Lea and Bill are a bright, lively couple that I met in a Bellevue pizza shop this summer. After our fun afternoon engagement shoot in Riverview Park this July, I was looking forward to shooting their wedding for them on August 30! It was a beautiful morning ceremony in Phipps Conservatory’s Broderie Room, with an [...]

Sara

It’s not too often anymore that I get a chance to grab my camera and head out to take pictures for no reason. So when I do, it always brings me back to my first days out with my camera, fiddling with knobs on the thing and doggedly trying to get a knack for accurate [...]

Flashbox – Update!

On August 23, I blogged about a fabulous videography option in Pittsburgh: a Flashbox video kiosk. Since then, the company has contacted me to provide more details…
Apparently “in addition to their basic kiosk service, FlashBox partners with a local videographer to offer affordable traditional videography services to couples. This has helped alleviate some of the [...]

Pittsburgh Gift Bags for Out of Towners

I’ve worked with several couples who are marrying here in Pittsburgh, but have family flying in from all over the country. Especially if you’re not even from this area, it’s not always easy to put together gift bags for everyone! And it’s definitely not number 1 on your list of things to do. Hopefully the [...]

Cookie Tables

As I’ve recently relocated to the Pittsburgh area from the west coast, I’m learning so much about the local customs… including those that my own family follows! The most unique tradition to this region that I’ve seen so far, is that of the cookie table.
