Mr. and Mrs. Will and Jamie Wright – 8.11.12

I’m not even really sure to begin with this one – but let’s start with WHAT A DAY! Will and Jamie were truly a joy to work with, and every single minute detail was thought of and carried out with precision. And then we’re going to throw in Lingrow Farm in Leechburg as the backdrop for everything? Again, WOW! Just an absolutely beautiful day all around.

Mr. and Mrs. Jim and Annamarie Hurley — 5.26.12

Yes, it was hot, and that should probably be spelled with a capital H, but what a great day for the newly married Mr. and Mrs. Jim and Annamarie Hurley! St. Mark Lutheran provided a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and the Greensburg Garden and Civic Center was the spot for the reception. What a great day all around!

Mr. and Mrs. Andrew & Katie Costello – 5.12.12

There are times when I am truly at a loss for words when trying to express how things went at a wedding (admittedly, this is almost always in a positive way!) Yesterday might be the definition of this feeling — it was just flat out that great of a day. If you are ever looking for the perfect day for a wedding, the perfect church, the weather, the vendors — well, this was it! I don’t know that Katie could have made it any easier – and there can’t be many guys more genuinely nice than Andrew. Just an incredible day all around! What a way to get the 2012 Wedding Season under way…

One of the highlights of the day for me was to see the contributions that the Costello family has made to the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg in memory of Andrew’s mother, Debra. The Costellos helped to convert an area of the University that was truly lacking, to say the least, turning it in to yet another upgraded, beautiful area of the University.

Congrats to

Mr. and Mrs. Andrew & Katie Costello!

2012 Wedding Season Begins!

Let me see if I’ve got this straight – I get the opportunity to capture incredible memories for incredible people on a beautiful day like this??? Yes, I’m truly fortunate. Katie and Andy kick off the season later today and I couldn’t be happier to work with them. Typically, I like to visit the ceremony site on the night of the rehearsal just to make sure that I’m familiar with the setting and to introduce myself to the church’s coordinator (it also helps to find out what I am and am not permitted to do in advance!). I have seen pictures from the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Irwin, but had never been inside before last night. Wow! It is just flat out beautiful. To top it all off, the weather is doing everything it can to make this day even better (and I always joke that when it’s as beautiful as it is today, then this was also included in my services – yeah, I know, I crack myself up!)

At any rate, here are a couple shots to give you an idea of what I’m working with today – and how darn cute is that family pic outside the church???
