Hotel Conneaut in Conneaut Lake, PA Wedding | Bri + Derek

Bri and Derek celebrated their wedding at The Hotel Conneaut at Conneaut Lake, PA. Being in this historic hotel was a beautiful experience, because the locations for photographs were endless. Plus being by the water just adds to the charm of this venue. The ceremony was right by the water and even though it was a gloomy September day and It ended up raining a bit, we got the most beautiful sky after the storm. Not to mention the night we got with a pitch black sky with beautiful stars surrounding us where we were able to capture night portraits that Bri and Derek were happy to take.

10 Things You’re paying for when booking your wedding photographer

I’ve been having a lot of consultations with clients, and I’ve realized that many people don’t know what you’re actually paying for when you hire your wedding photographer. You’re most likely hiring your wedding photographer because you saw his/her work and fell in love with it. You can’t put your finger on what’s that thing exactly, but you know it’s something from their style to the way they document moments, lighting, poses, and the editing of the photos. But is that really it? Is that why you’re paying so much money for?! Just for a day to document your wedding?

Absolutely NOT. Let me explain what you’re paying for when you hire your wedding photographer and what goes on behind the scenes of and all the hidden costs you don’t see.

The Home Farm Barn Wedding in Indiana, PA. | Carlee + Joe

Carlee + Joe's Wedding took place at The Home Farm Barn in Indiana PA where we celebrated their union in a beautiful fall day with the popular autumn's foliage we wait year-round for. 

Their wedding decor was all fall themed with pumpkins that look very aesthetically pleasing. The combination of the bridesmaids' color dresses with their bouquets made for an elegant feel to the entire wedding. 

Also, if you haven't been to The Home Farm Barn in Indiana PA it's totally worth a visit. The hand-hewn barn located in Indiana PA is a venue which offers different spaces for the ceremony, reception, and even the getting ready portion of the day, which is very helpful because everything happens all in once place and you don't have to drive from location to location, which is very convenient and ends up saving you time and stress, which is a life saver when talking about one of the most important days of your life.

Schenley Park Maternity Photos in Pittsburgh, PA.

Mommy & Me sessions are incredibly special and rewarding, because we capture the maternity session (pre baby) and then once the baby is born, we do the newborn session at the baby's home. 

We document these moments that are so joyous, full of emotions and incredibly intimate for everybody in the family and also for me, because what a privilege it is to document such a beautiful and special moment of your lives it is for me.

The Scottish Rite Cathedral Wedding | New Castle, PA

We arrived at The Scottish Rite Cathedral to do her first look with her father, which was really sweet because we got to capture his true reaction seeing his daughter dressed in her white dress for the first time. The ceremony took place in this gorgeous historical place, and I could not be happier. Brittney had told me what an incredible location it was and she wasn't exaggerating. The high ceilings and architecture of the cathedral were beyond beautiful!

MT. Washington - Grandview Overlook Engagement | Steve + Alaina

I knew this surprised engagement was going to be special the moment Steve contacted me, but what I didn't know at the time was that this was going to be one of my all-time favorite photo shoots. There's an elegance and delicacy to the way Alaina reacted that was hypnotizing, and the way Steve's eyes sparked when he saw how happy Alaina reacted. I would say that this was the definition of what romanticism means.

We did Meshaim's maternity session at Pittsburgh most gorgeous parks, Mellon Park. I feel like that's a wonderful location option for elegant and creative shots, and you can get so much out of this location because you can walk to different areas of the park and get another vibe, which is always a good idea when planning a photo shoot, especially when your pregnant and hiking and doing more adventurous activities is not really an option.

Mellon Park Family Photo Session in Pittsburgh | Kristen + Parker

Kristen and Parker's family session at Mellon Park, Pittsburgh PA was amazing! It really was. They have the cutest baby who was so curious and kept looking at me, which only got us even more beautiful and unique results.

When clients give me the time we need for a session, especially when there's a baby involved or they bring their dogs, we can stop and make sure the baby gets feed, if that's something he needs in order to feel better and not cry, or get a diaper change, or get cleaned up.

Downtown Pittsburgh Photos | Summer Couple's Session

Don't underestimate the beauty of having a couple's session at Downtown Pittsburgh. The buildings and the vibe of Downtown is very unique and what can come out of the session is totally up to you, the time of season, the time of day, and whatever you bring for props, or outfits. 

In this case Amanda + Dave chose to have theirs during the Summer season in Pittsburgh, PA. June is the longest month of the year and probably one of, if not the most warm month of the year.

McConnells State Park Couple's Photos: Hunter + Kristin

It was sunny, it was cold, and it was a perfect day to do a couple's session for Hunter & Kristin surrounded by the beautiful evergreen woods at McConnells State Park. 

If there's anything that I would like to add about this beautiful photo shoot is that love is love, and it transcends gender, age, space and time. If anybody thinks or feels differently, I invite you to see this gallery, and reflect on what your definition of love is, and why you'd think differently. 

Personally, I loved every minute of this session, and my face hurt afterwards for smiling so much.
