kelly + kevin . married.

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

Kelly contacted me in a panic. It was a few weeks before her wedding and they no longer had a photographer. Somehow their wedding happened to fall on my off week. It was meant to be. I first met with Kelly and Kevin about a week before their wedding day and got to know them a little bit. Their wedding was a laid back celebration of their love and their new life together and I am so happy that things fell into place so that we could be there to capture it!  Best of luck to both of you in Indiana this year and thank you so much for the amazing indie dinner music and the vegetarian meal. Doesn’t get much better than that!

Ceremony :  First United Church of Chirst Millvale

We headed to Washington’s Landing for their portraits. It was about 100 degrees out and they stuck it out like champs! And hello amazing shoes…

Their reception details were SO sweet…

maria + jonathan . married.

If you were to Google “two of the most in love, crazy-about-each-other people in the world”, a photo of Jonathan and Maria would appear. When we photographed their engagement session last year, it was obvious that their love was serious business. On their wedding day there was SO much excitement and joy from everyone around them (and there were a LOT of people surrounding them with love). This was officially the biggest wedding we have ever photographed and it was so much fun. In every moment there was genuine emotion, tears, belly laughs, and happiness. Jonathan and Maria, we are so excited for you! Thank you so much for choosing us to capture your fabulous day and enjoy your honeymoon :D

Maria’s Dad seeing her for the first time…

While I was with the girls, Jim was with the guys in an identical suite…

Dad sees Mom, Maria sees Jonathan…

Sacred Heart is absolutely GORGEOUS but very strict. Jim’s angle…

Jim’s view of the kiss on the left, mine on the right…

Yes, everyone threw money at them. Loved it!

I like Jim’s view better…

Toasted and roasted ;)

“Uh how do we cut this thing?!”

39 Mariner was absolutely AMAZING. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

While everyone partied, Maria slipped into her second dress. LOVE IT!




I’m sure the party went on well into the night. xo
