HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

Today is the day Love is celebrated! Let's be bold and daring and celebrate love EVERY day instead of just once annually! To everyone, everywhere... I wish that you all experience love today and every day in some small way, be it through family, friends, that special love in your life or an act of loving kindness that you may offer to someone who really needs it. Happiest of Loving days! Pay some love forward! BIG love, Joanne

Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, Hepatica Floral Design, Dan & Trina...and me!

One of the things I want to do for the many vendors in Pittsburgh is to sing the praises of those who do a wonderful job for the couples we all work with. That is where this blog entry comes in... The good news is that most everyone I have had the pleasure to work with do a WONDERFUL job at making our clients wedding days special and memorable on each occasion, be it Bridal Salons, Hair Salons, Videographers, DJs, Caterers, Florists and the many beautiful Reception Venues around town. I will be doing my best in the coming months to visually highlight the remarkable professionalism, precision, timing and artistry of the many vendors here in Pittsburgh through the images I have created of the people, places and things that depict their creative work. For those I don't have images of to use in my blog, I will be writing a review. Call me if you'd like to talk about how I can help you promote your work! This blog entry has been created to highlight two special Pittsburgh Wedding Vendors: Pittsburgh Center for the Arts (CFA); a uniquely creative wedding and reception venue where Joy Sato will do her best to make your day perfect! Joy is a DELIGHT to work with and I have known her for many years; she will take good care of you! And, Hepatica Florist (412.241.3900, or hepaticapgh@verizon.net) a uniquely beautiful floral designer who strives for artistic perfection. CLICK HERE to view a slide show from Trina and Dan's wedding from June, 2006 where you will be able to view the beauty created for Trina and Dan by CFA and Hepatica. They did a BEAUTIFUL job! Oh, yes...don't forget...I took the beautiful photos! ;-) I LOVED Trina and Dan's wedding...and love them as well! Their stylishly contemporary personalities came out perfectly through their wardrobe and the many beautiful details they planned for their wedding. Trina's dress was beautiful and she looked gorgeous in it! It was definitely meant for her. That slight, off the shoulder strap denoted her unique and elegant taste that stood apart from all the rest and it fit her like a glove! And Dan couldn't have looked more handsome in his suit (I love it when grooms wear a suit; it is such a fabulous look!). But, he added his own personal(ity) touch to his suit with his stylishly colorful tie and his fun striped socks with the lips on them - nice touch Dan! Really, they did a great job and the wedding was one of my favorites from 2006! I'll be creating another slide show of just Trina and Dan's wedding in the near future. As always, it was a delight to create such beautiful images for everyone! Without further delay, enjoy the show! Joanne
