Abby and Nicholas were married on a beautiful day in Washington, PA. I had the pleasure to work with photographer, Dino Bovo, and tagged along for their photo session. Here are the results from that!



Congratulations and best wishes to you!!!

Patrick and Rebecca - May 29, 2011

I know that I have some catching up to do on my blog, but I wanted to start this year on the right track as far as blogging. So, I'll do my catching up in between this current season's weddings!

Patrick and Rebecca were married on Memorial Weekend at the Foxburg Inn, along the Allegheny River. I have to say this venue was awesome and I can't wait to go back to enjoy the rest they have to offer. I had a great time working with this couple and the season couldn't have started any better! Thanks for everything and best wishes!

Here is their pre-ceremony montage from their video... enjoy!

on this one... which is always a good day for us! We also got to see Jodi from Accents Unlimited in action as the DJ... she was GREAT!  Thanks Don and Sara for letting us share in your special day!

Larry and Tiffany - September 6, 2009

While waiting for materials to wrap up editing weddings from 2009, I put this together from Larry and Tiffany's photo session. Its extremely unique, especially toward the end. This was our first wedding ceremony at Highland Park and the first reception at the Pittsburgh Zoo Water's Edge! It was quite amazing and they put a ton of work into making it special for their guest.



Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!

Grant and Bethany - October 17th, 2009

The wedding of Grant and Bethany was absolutely beautiful. These two were awesome to work with and if there was an award for being easy going, these two won it! Seriously, we don't have many "bridezillas", but when it comes to being relaxed on the big day - Grant and Bethany take the prize!

They were married at St. Sylvester's Church and the reception was at South Hills Country Club. We got to work with Dino Bovo, a long time friend and great photographer. Bethany was absolutely stunning, both beautiful inside and out!

Here is the Reception Highlight from their Highlight DVD. Congratulations to you both and thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!

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!

Ryan and Rachael - September 19, 2009

On this beautiful day in the fall, Ryan and Rachael were married at Duquesne University Chapel. We were actually hired by Rachael's sister, who's wedding we filmed back in April. Rochelle and Steve decided that after they saw their video, Rachel and Ryan HAD to have a video to remember their day (view their review and trailer here)!

We met up with them first at the Omni William Penn for their preparations, and then headed up to the chapel. The wedding ceremony was beautiful... this is one of my favorite churches for some reason (maybe its the fight we always have to have with the "guards" to park on campus... lol... the lady this day was a sucker). They were hitched... and for the first time ever, I left for the day! A life long friend of mine was getting married across town, so I left the rest of the day up to Katy!

They did a photo shoot around the church, and then headed to South Hills Country Club (again one of our favorite places) for the reception. Katy did an awesome job covering the details and events at the reception. When I started editing, I almost felt like I was there! Thanks Katy for all your hard work, and CONGRATULATIONS to Rachael and Ryan!!!

Ryan and Rachael... getting ready for their big day!

Mike & Lauren - August 22nd

Mike and Lauren were married on my birthday weekend in August (YAY)! There ceremony was at Heinz Chapel with the reception to follow at Sheraton Station Square. There was a slight threat of rain on their wedding day, but instead, we got an absolutely perfect day. Thanks for everything and Best Wishes for many happy years!

And their awesome first dance - ranks right up there with Dancing with the Stars!

You ROCK!!!

Hi Dawn,
I just wanted to tell you how awesome the video was!!! We just watched it! I am so happy that we went with you. It was the best decision we made! Honestly, Dawn you are amazing! You have such a talent and I promise you, I will recommend you to all my friends who are thinking about getting a videographer.

Thank you for everything. I hope to work with you again sometime in the near future! Have a great rest of the year and keep me up to date if you think of anything that we might me interested in!!

You're the BEST!

Erin!

I just received this email today from Erin, from our July 3rd wedding. It made me smile, because, like I told her, it helps to make all of our hard work and effort worth while! Thanks Erin for sharing!

And in honor of the bridal show last weekend where people were "not sure" if they wanted a videographer, I am posting our "why hire a videographer" demo again!

Chad & Carianne - July 18, 2009

After Steve and Rochelle's Wedding back in April, we posted a Trailer online. We were immediately contacted by a wonderful woman, Carolanne, asking us to video her daughter's wedding as a SURPRISE! I was so incredibly excited to work with them. So, on July 18th, Chad and Carianne were married. The ceremony was amazing, and the reception was awesome as well. These are two wonderful people, beautiful inside and out. (I hereby nominate Chad as my "GQ Groom of the Year"!)

This wedding was very special to me because of the surprise, and also because we got to see our past couple, Steve and Rochelle, and because although we hadn't met anyone until the day of the wedding, they treated Katy and I like family! Thanks for everything and we wish you the best Chad and Carianne!

And because Carianne really had no idea what to expect from a wedding video, she asked her mom the night of the wedding if she'd have a cool trailer like Steve and Rochelle... HERE YOU GO! ENJOY!
