I don’t think you could pack more energy and love (and color!) into this wedding at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. Ariel and Peter’s cups definitely runneth over. After they were married under the brightest and most colorful chuppah I’ve ever seen (created by the always brilliant, Jimmy from Green Sinner), they danced their butts off to the reggae sounds of a fabulous and energetic band called Yellow Dubmarine.









It wasn’t easy to get Ariel to sit still. She was a beautiful little ball of excited energy the ENTIRE day! Her portraits started out normally…..


….and then quickly went downhill. HAHAHAHA!!!


Peter on the other hand, was surprisingly subdued as he got dressed…




RAWR!!! HOT!!!


Ariel and Peter opted for a “first look”. It was such an exciting moment!!














After their portraits, we went back inside to sign the ketubah…





At the entrance to the ceremony space was a confetti bar!! Guests were invited to create their own mix of confetti, each color labeled as well wishes for the couple, such as heath and happiness. After Ariel and Peter were married, the guests pelted them with their “well wishes”, aka confetti!! Cool, right?!

LOOK AT THIS AWESOMELY COLORFUL CEREMONY SPACE!! I’m shouting because I can’t contain my excitement about it!!! EEEEEE!







MARRIED!!!






There were a LOT of creative things Ariel did to make her reception extra special, much of which I will share in another blog post at a later date. For now, take a look at all of the colorful flowers and black and white striped tablecloths which decorated the tables. Ariel’s reception was a fantastic combination of Boho-chic with an explosion of color!















The dance floor was packed the ENTIRE NIGHT. I don’t even think the band took a break!






To Ariel and Peter – You guys are THE BEST. Thank you for making my job SO EASY!!! I love you both!

I’ve been waiting a long time for this wedding! Alaina and Alex had a beautiful wedding mass at the Chapel of the Holy Spirit at Duquesne University on a rainy day in June. Luckily for us, the skies cleared up just in time for photos afterward! After that, we headed over to their reception at the Wendel Inn in Baldwin, where they danced and partied with family and friends. It was such a relaxing and perfect day! Here are some of my favorite photos…



Alaina had the most beautiful skin EVER! Allison of Allison Roth Studio did an awesome job on her makeup! AND…Allison gave Alaina a cute little mini makeup kit for touch-ups throughout the day! Totally convenient and thoughtful!




























MARRIED!!!!


After the ceremony, we took some time to do portraits around the campus of Duquesne University…


Alaina has impeccable taste when it comes to flowers! I can’t get over how gorgeous the colors of the flowers were! The ladies at Bella Floral Shoppe in the Shop n’ Save in Bridgeville are so great at what they do!


















My dear friend, Eric Schiemer of Schiemer Entertainment kept the party going all night!!





I LOVE YOU ALAINA AND ALEX!!! Thank you for having us along to capture your wedding day!!
