PITTSBURGH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER: WEDDING PHOTO HIGHLIGHTS 2022

What a beautiful year FILLED with amazing couples it has been! These highlight posts are always some of my personal favorite blog posts from the entire year, because I get to see not only all of the beautiful couples I’ve worked with, but also because I get to see highlights from my full body of work throughout the year – that in itself is so rewarding!

It’s hard to believe that I photographed my first wedding 10 years ago this year… so much has changed since 2012! At the time, I never thought that photography was something I would do full time. In fact, I was pursuing two degrees at the time in Graphic Design & Web Design, and was using any photo gigs I booked as a means to pay for them! I am so grateful that God has allowed my business to grow to the point of being able to support my family as my full time job. It is a blessing to get to serve so many people and explore so many beautiful places – and to get to work for myself!

Today, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite photos from my 2022 weddings and engagements. Some might seem like obvious favorites (because they’re of beautiful people or details, or technically beautiful!), but some are my favorites simply because of the emotion they show, and others because of what I had to overcome technically to make the shot happen. Weddings can be quite unpredictable, and often put photographers in situations where they need to make “magic” happen out of less than ideal lighting and timing situations (among other hurdles!). While that part of the job can often be stressful (especially when someone’s memories of the best day of their life are on the line!), that pressure has also given me the opportunity to produce work that I am proud to share with my clients!

So, without further ado – here are some highlights from 2022!

Casey & Danny: Picturesque Fall St. Vincent College Wedding

Casey & Danny met at St. Vincent College, got engaged at St. Vincent College, had their engagement photos taken at St. Vincent College, and on a beautiful October weekend, they finally said "I do" in the St. Vincent Basilica at St. Vincent College!

And even though we had a little sprinkling of rain on and off, we had was the most beautiful fall day to celebrate their marriage!

I started off the day with Casey at her childhood home for getting ready photos, then we headed off to St. Vincent's for a beautiful ceremony, and some photos around the campus that brought them together! At the reception, they had a beautiful foot washing ceremony followed by lots of dancing, cookies, and mingling with family and friends!

One of my favorite details from Casey & Danny’s wedding: Casey carried her grandma’s Bible with her bouquet down the aisle that has been carried by all of the women in her family since. What a sweet tradition! ❤️

Casey & Danny, thank you so much for the honor of being a part of your beautiful day. It was such an honor!

Allison & Anthony: St. Vincent Basilica & Stratigos Banquet Center Wedding Photos

What a beautiful wedding day Allison & Anthony two had towards the end of November! These two were another couple of mine who postponed their wedding day from last year to this year - but I would say that it was well worth the wait!

Their day was filled with joy, love, and was an absolute pleasure to be a part of. We were even able to take wedding portraits at the place where they first met... at the Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve at Saint Vincent College!

Congratulations on your wedding day, Allison & Anthony! We are so very thankful to have been a part of your beautiful day!
