Emily and Lucien had a beautiful sunny wedding day!  They were married at Holy Sepulcher Catholic Church in Butler, PA.  We then headed downtown to the Westin Convention Center Hotel for their wedding reception.

Here are some of my favorite shots from their day….

There is a big field of corn behind Holy Sepulcher, so we decided to do all of the wedding party photos there…

It was a frigid February day when Alyia and Greg tied the knot in a beautiful evening ceremony at Waverly Presbyterian Church.  They partied the night away at their beautiful gold and navy wedding reception at the Omni William Penn Hotel in Downtown Pittsburgh.

A huge thanks goes out to my partner in crime, Katia Forero, for assisting me at this wedding!

A gorgeous church (St. Boniface/Holy Wisdom Parish) and a totally unique Pittsburgh wedding reception venue (Stage AE) was the setting for Ali and Billy’s beautiful fall wedding day.  I was lucky enough to be the one to capture all of it!

There are SO MANY photos that I’d like to share, and will do so in future blog posts.  For now, here are some of my absolute favorite photos from the day:

I can’t begin to explain the awesomeness that is Stage AE.  This was my first time photographing a wedding reception here.  When I walked in, my eyes feasted upon a sea of colors, and it was so ornately decorated with beautiful, tall centerpieces and candles everywhere.  For me, as a photographer, I almost started jumping up and down because I couldn’t handle the sensory overload!!!  This reception, in all its dimensions and colors, was a wedding photographer’s DREAM.
