Erica and Darren were married at Rolling Hills Country Club in a beautiful outdoor ceremony.

The unpredictable Pittsburgh weather was overcast and breezy = perfect conditions for outdoor wedding photos!!

Erica’s shoes were a work of art.  They deserve a blog post by themselves!  ha!

Erica found her wedding dress at the Exquisite Bride in Murrysville!

I received a call from Jesi on a Thursday asking me to shoot her wedding that following Tuesday at Phipps Conservatory.  It was to be a small, intimate ceremony, with only immediate family present.  And that’s exactly what it was.  It was beautiful.

Here are some of my favorite images from their Phipps Conservatory wedding:

To make this ceremony even more memorable, Ralph’s father married them!

Since this wedding happened so suddenly, I walked in not knowing too many details.  Walking towards the ceremony location I heard this beautiful music, and asked the Phipps events coordinator when they started piping music in all the rooms.  She said that it was LIVE music!  And then I saw my friends Misha Istomin and Cindy DeAlmeida playing oboe quartets!!  How AWESOME!

Jesi and Ralph only had Phipps for a very limited amount of time, so we decided to visit the Desert Room for some portraiture:
