The ceremony was preformed by Father Anthony Gargotta. The bride was escorted down the aisle by her father Joe and grandfather Herb.

Following the ceremony the couple celebrated with family and friends at the Monroeville Doubletree where Kimmie Fitzhugh-Kelly and her staff had set the room beautifully for a winter wedding.

Lea’s Floral provided the flower arrangements for the event. The brides gown was from The Exquisite Bride. Oakmont Bakery provided the wedding cake.

Craig Lawrence, my buddy from Red Hot Chameleon Entertainment, rocked the event – like he always does!

It was also great to meet and work with Gordon Schu Video Productions.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!  Here are a few images to enjoy!

I spent this week in New York City attending the PDN Photoplus Expo at the Javitz Center. Always a great time to network with other photographers from around the country and reconnect.

I’m very excited about some of the new ideas and product offerings that were announced by many of our fantastic vendors. Our top line album vendor, Graphistudio, has some great new upgrades to their already “Best-in-the-industry” hand made Italian albums that we are very excited about.

Here is a photo shot from Weehawken Park in New Jersey. I managed to get a few shots of the city in before the Nor’easter blew in.

The intimate ceremony took place in the Fireside Room. The bride was escorted down the aisle by her father, Jim, and her son, Matthew.

The cocktail hour and reception followed at the club. The reception room was beautiful thanks to Barbara Sachko and her staff at the club.

Breitinger’s created the flower arrangements and Pastries A-la-Carte  provided the couple’s wedding cake.

I was also fortunate to work again with Dan Davis of Rockin’ Bob’s DJ. Dan always does an outstanding job as MC and DJ.

Congratulations and Best Wishes for the Newlyweds!

 

Here are a few of my favorite images.

The Catholic ceremony was officiated by Father Dennis Buranosky. Following the ceremony the bride’s father, Fred, provided his black Monte Carlo for transportation (the same car he used to bring Amanda home from the hospital in after she was born). How cool is that.

The traditional photography of the family groups took place in the church sanctuary. A quick trip to the top of Mount Washington, on Pittsburgh’s South Side, followed for some fun and casual photographs of the Wedding Party. What great weather and perfect light for portraits.

The Chadwick Event Center in Wexford was the location for the wedding reception. Craig Lawrence of Red Hot Chameleon Entertainment announced the wedding party and the couple as they arrived. Mary Ellen and the staff of The Chadwick served the wedding meal. Following dinner, the couple cut their Lincoln Bakery wedding cake. Red Velvet, yum.

Craig then cued “So Beautiful”, by Musiq Soulchild as Amanda and Greg shared their first dance together as man and wife. Following the parent dances the crowd made their way to the dance floor to to “get the party started.” The celebration continued into the evening.

A St. Lucia honeymoon in planned. Help me in wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness. Cheers!
