Kristin & Mark's Wedding, May 19, 2007

I have been having a wonderful time this season photographing my couples and their families and this past weekend was no exception! You will hear me say this again and again...and I do so because I am truly moved at every wedding I witness...the love and warmth that I observe and get to create my beautiful imagery from is simply a gift and I'm always so grateful that I get to do this for all of you. Kristin and Mark's ceremony was held at Heinz Chapel and their reception was held at Fox Chapel Golf Club (412.967.9081) where Joe made sure that everything was done to perfection. Kristin was beautiful dressed in her gown from Anne Gregory that was perfect, for her and Mark looked absolutely handsome as well! And the flowers - WOW! Rachel Check of Hepatica (412.241.3900) did an extraordinary job, and I mean extraordinary! It simply was a spectacular ceremony and reception made possible by the artistry of Hepatica and Joe at Fox Chapel GC. Everyone was so relaxed and seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves throughout the day. It truly was a day filled with warmth and love! Below is a slide show of the images I created from the many wonderful people, places and things throughout the day:

Michele & Chris' Wedding, May 05, 2007

Michele and Chris were married at Heinz Chapel in Oakland and their reception was at the Fox Chapel Golf Club. Their wedding was the first one at Heinz that day and Michele ran a bit late getting to the chapel - I thought Digby was going to go through the roof, but all went well after all and we even made it out of the church with plenty of time before the next wedding. Michele is so sweet and was absolutely stunning in her gown! We had a wonderful time going all over the city to photograph and the end results were spectacular! Here is a little slide show from Michele and Chris' wedding with a few examples of the beautiful imagery I created of them with all the time we spent together that day:

Busy, busy!

Wondering where I have been? Well, I'm wondering when life will ever slow down! Topic #1 that I'll be touching on soon... Any way, I was out of town all last week caring for my mother who had to have major surgery. I'll be blogging on that in the near future too, but needless to say, it was a difficult week. She is recovering nicely and hopefully will continue to but I spent four days with her in the hospital, never leaving her side which in the end I'm glad I did because I saved her life, no kidding; no exaggeration. More to come on that later...topic #2... Where am I now? Well, let's see...back in town last Friday; a 14 hour wedding on Saturday in which I created some spectacular images from...that I've yet to get posted...topic #3...; Sunday was my recovery day and I was preparing for the next event...flew out to Chicago on Monday, where I am currently at a conference and won't return from until Thursday...topic #4! Are we sure that cloning is still outlawed? I could really use another one of me, but perhaps that just might be too much for the world to handle!!! LOL! Or maybe we could request that some of those 48 hour days be standard so we could do all that we need to do! I'm going as fast as I can and will blog soon in detail about all of it, I promise!
