Hello, and welcome to my little story-time corner of the internet! Settle in, grab a hot cup of coffee, and browse my latest posts. Here, I weave together snippets of the personal stories from beautiful humans and their beautiful lives.
Julia + Matt | Carnegie Museum Wedding
"La famiglia!"
That's what Julia said when I asked her to name the most important part of her wedding day.
Family.
It is a theme that Julia & Matt incorporated into every single part of their wedding: from nieces and nephews in the bridal party to Julia's mother officiating their gorgeous Carnegie Museum ceremony, to a glorious outdoor reception in Schenley Plaza (complete with carousel!), Julia & Matt wanted to make sure their family had the time of their lives. There were children everywhere. Literally EVERYWHERE. And it made for the most epic dance-party of all time. There is truly nothing like the carefree move-busting of a 3-year-old to make everyone cut loose. See pictures below for evidence.
Alexandra & Rob | Renshaw Farms Wedding
It was a dark and stormy night....well, afternoon. But still dark and stormy. And absolutely perfect--because it was Alex & Rob's wedding day! Despite the disappointment of having to move the ceremony inside at Renshaw Farms, the sun broke through the rain for a few shots and we ended the night with the ever-popular sparkler celebration. It was an absolutely joyful day!
Christina + Mike | Butler Wedding
What I will always remember from my first meeting with Christina and Mike is how much they both kept giggling. They blew through the coffee shop at a level of giddy joy that seemed to completely spill out of them as they talked about each other and their future together. As I usually do, I asked them what they were looking forward to most on their wedding day and Christina broke into the widest smile I'd ever seen and responded:
"We just can't wait to be married!" And they both giggled.
I was completely smitten with these two.
Katie & Terrance | Pittsburgh Engagement
"Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering." - Nicole Krauss
When you meet a couple who is truly, deeply in love with each other, you know it. You sense it in the way he looks at her, in the way her hands brush his arm.
You can especially hear it in her laugh.
Terrance is a writer, and I know he could fill a book with beautiful things about Katie. I can only show you a glimpse into who these two are as a couple through these images. So look for the way they laugh together, as though they are the only two people in the world. As if the only thing that's important is that right now they're together, enjoying simply being able to hold each other.
Their love is being so happy you can't help but laugh, from the sheer joy of it all.
