Have you always imagined your wedding being held outdoors with your reception in a beautiful barn?  Western Pennsylvania has plenty of old barns and farms to choose from!  Lingrow Farm is located in Leechburg and is a beautifully maintained farm…a perfect place for your family and friends to gather and celebrate your wedding!

There are two different locations on the grounds where the bride and groom can get ready separately.  The bride usually gets dressed in the farmhouse….

big thank you to Aaron Varga for having me as his second shooter at this wedding!

I’ve been waiting MONTHS to share these photos with everyone.  I take my job very seriously.  But there are down times on wedding days where a little comic relief is needed.  Like I’ve said before – I wouldn’t be a wedding photographer if there wasn’t any fun involved!  I must say, these photos capture my personality pretty well. 🙂

I vaguely remember Tristan asking me to stay out of his way so he could get this shot.  Guess I didn’t listen too closely! (and he did capture a clean shot after I realized he was shooting me haha!)

Katia was shooting the groomsmen as I finished up early with the bride and bridesmaids.  I *love* the look on the bridesmaid’s face in this next shot….

Sometimes other people walk into my shot not knowing I was there.  This is a videographer who reeeeally wanted the same angle as me….

It seems that at most of my weddings there are animals.  I am a huge animal lover, so I am okay with this.

This St. Bernard puppy slobbered the entire right side of my face right before this next shot was snapped….

And then I saw a dog who was the same breed as my Peggy.  I of course asked if I could pet him, and he gave me his ball….

Teasing him….

But he would NOT let me pick him up!
