David and Meghan - October 10th, 2009

David and Meghan were married at the gorgeous Heinz Chapel on a beautiful day in fall. The temperatures were a bit brisk, but its okay, its fall in Pittsburgh! I had the honor of working with Autumn from Skysight Photography... and what a great time I had!

After the ceremony and photo session, we headed over to the Circuit Center on the South Side, where I ran (yes, ran, traffic was nuts and I was running behind) in to say hello to a DJ friend, Eric Schiemer from Schiemer Entertainment. The evening went off without a hitch and the day was amazing. Congrats to my "Cinderella" bride and groom. (Every once in a while, I give my brides and grooms titles - and this one is so fitting... every hair was perfectly in place, her gown was stunning and after they bustled her dress, wow, she just looked like Cinderella straight out of the movie. By far my favorite bustle of the year)

Here is their pre ceremony montage:

Ryan and Brittany - October 3rd, 2009

The wedding of Brittany and Ryan was one that I was looking forward to for almost a year! They were referred to us by Brittany's cousin Kaitlin, who was married to Shawn in an absolutely beautiful wedding last June.

Ryan and Brittany were married at St. Peter Parish and the reception was held at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriot. We met Brittany at the hotel to film the girls preparing for the big day, and then off to the ceremony we went.

Things were going great and Katy and I were having an excellent day... until we arrived at the ceremony and realized that I had left the tripods in our other car almost an hour away. After a brief panic attack, I decided to have a chat with our photographer friends, Paul and Cyndy Meyer. Paul came to my rescue, allowing me to use their monopod, while Katy improvised using the front pew railing as a stabilizer. I started with the monopod, and when Cyndy looked over and saw my slight fatigue (LOL), she quickly offered up her tripod for the remainder of the ceremony. I can't thank them enough for their generosity and it make me smile to know that photographers and videographers can not only work happily together, but also have each others back when necessary.

Anyway, so off to the photo session and reception we went. Their day was absolutely amazing and I am so happy to be a part of it. Congratulations Ryan and Brittany and we wish you all the best!
