Attn: 2008 Brides - Pre-Wedding Interviews

I am posting this here first, and will sent emails shortly to those who are affected. We are now setting up dates for the 2008 Pre-Wedding Interviews. There are several brides who have included these in their packages, so we are trying to stay organized. The dates are marked on our Availability Calendar, and are all on Sundays. If Sunday don't work for your schedule, no problem... we'll work to find a day that works for you. The scheduling of these is first come, first serve, so those who are out of town, should contact me ASAP.

Depending on location, I may be able to do more than on per day, so just let me know which date you'd like and we'll work to schedule a time. I request that you schedule AT LEAST 1 month before your wedding, but no more than 3 months early. As always, Contact US with any questions or if you'd like to add this to your package.

I am looking forward to shooting these interviews and trying new things with new faces! See you all very soon!

Booking OVERLOAD :)

Well, the time has come that we are going to have to start putting an end to bookings for 2008. As usual, January has lead to an overwhelming amount of requests for dates in 2008, and dates are filling up quickly. We do still have a few available, but we will very shortly be ending our availability. We do this to insure our clients experience the best quality and personal commitment for each video we complete. We have a few dates available in early spring for 2008.

Brides and grooms interested in our services for 2009 are encouraged to contact us soon as well. After an amazing year last year, we are starting to book further in advance than ever before! I am so excited, looking into the future, to work with all of the new couples and venues of the next 2 years!!!

December 29th Wedding

The wedding of Ann and Jonathan ended our year for weddings. We had a great time and it was great to end the year on such a high note. Jonathan and Ann were married at St. John Vianney Church on Climax Street in Pittsburgh. It was a gorgeous setting and Ann looked amazing! I worked a little with the guys, and headed out to Ann and the girls on the Limo bus. They looked beautiful. Ann had chose different shades of purple for their bridesmaids dresses and the combination of colors was stunning.

The ceremony went great and was very meaningful. After some quick shots at the church, we headed to an overlook on Mt. Washington for some more pictures. They were a great bunch to work with... with their beer cans in one hand and terrible towels in the other... we went to work on the overlook. After we were almost finished, there were a couple Indian men that just had to have their picture with our bride and groom. I will post a picture of this later... but it was hilarious!

The reception was held at the Holiday Inn in the North Hills. We had a good time with the DJ's and one of our favorite wedding planners... Danielle Kramer. The dinner was good and then the festivities began. Wow was a crazy crowed! Ann and Jonathan had a blast... they were on the dance floor most of the night. We truly thank you for letting us take part in your special day!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday season and are now taking some time to relax and recover! We are ready to say goodbye to 2007, although it was a great year for us, and see what 2008 has in store for us!

We are looking forward to meeting with new people, buying some new equipment and trying some new things! See you all later in 2008, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Getting Ready for Christmas!!!

We went on Tuesday for some Christmas Pictures for the kids. We decided to go back to Sears at Pittsburgh Mills and here is what we came up with!!!!

They really do love each other!

My little peanut, Benjamin! And my Princess Pea, Caitlyn... wow doesn't she look ornery
What a pair... we're gonna be in trouble when these 2 get older!
Love the giggles!

I think next year, we're gonna have one of our photographer friends take the pictures, but for this year, something made me go back to a studio. They did good though, especially considering how the kids were acting. Benjamin was all wound up and and every time we got Caitlyn set, she'd just get up and walk away. Now that she's walking, she doesn't want to stay still.

Just wanted to share some of our holiday fun!!! I'll post pictures of our Gingerbread House later!

November 3rd Wedding

Last weekend's wedding took us high atop the city to Mt. Washington. Lauren and Mike were married at St. Mary of the Mount Parish. After a few preparation shots with the groom, the bride arrived in the Limo. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. Lauren and her attendants were absolutely stunning. I am becoming a fan of the "hair down" look and Lauren's gold locks perfected it!

The ceremony went off without a hitch and exactly on time...as all weddings at this parish do. It was a catholic mass and we ran 3 cameras because of an angel requested by the bride. I can't wait to download the tapes and see how it really went (this camera was static on a tripod).

After the ceremony and some formal shots, we got thrown out of the church and off to the West End Overlook we went. This was out 3rd wedding with Dino, and again, we had a blast. He came up with some awesome shots at the Overlook and I was happy to check it out, cause we had never been there before.

Then we headed to Le Mont for the reception. As a guest, the wedding was perfect, the dances were all very nice and the food was probably pretty good. HOWEVER, I must say, for such a high class resturaunt, they sure don't treat the wedding vendors very well. We asked for a table to eat, and the guy in charge rudely told us "NO" with no explaination. After an awesome salad, we were handed a plate of cold pasta. It's pretty bad when the people that park your cars are nicer than the staff inside.

Done ranting... the reception was georgeous and we got some good footage. The set up here presents a challenge because of the tightness and the windows everywhere, but we worked around it pretty well. CONGRATULATIONS Lauren and Mike and thanks for making us part of your day!

October 27th Wedding

The spectacular wedding of Kelly and Randy led us to St. Mary Church in Apollo. What a beautiful and quaint little church. It was there that I ran into Dino Bovo again! He actually referred Kelly to me, and I am forever grateful because this was a wedding to remember!

After setting up (and making a phone call to my hubby to bring me a battery I forgot back in Plum), I got to meet Randy, the groom. He was great to work with, as were his groomsmen. I peaked in the limo to Kelly... wow what a stunning bride! She looked absolutely gorgeous and her beautiful blue eyes were just sparkling!

(I love this picture... Kelly caught me snapping this shot!!!)

The ceremony went great for us... and for the bride and groom. There was so much love between these two! Its not often you see this connection between two people, I can't even describe it in words. After some formal shots at the church, I headed to the Mayernick Center to set up their Childhood montage for the reception.

Kelly and Randy and the gang arrived shortly later and we got some awesome shots outside at the Mayernick... thanks Dino for all the fabulous stuff and Kelly and Randy for just being so in love. Dino hardly had to pose these two... they just fell into it themselves.

The reception was DJ'd by Andy Booth... love him! He was great to work with and a treat to get to know. We had great conversation over a wonderful meal and I was very impressed with his ability to pack the dance floor! Every aspect of the reception was just perfect. These two were inseparable. CONGRATULATIONS KELLY AND RANDY and thank you for everything!

October 20th Wedding

This wedding was another beautiful fall wedding in Greensburg, PA. Kelly and Thom were married at the Harrold Zion Luthern Church, near Hempfield HS. We always called it the "church that the giant sat on" as kids because of the amaizing architecture of the church. I met Thom first and got to know him and the guys a little. Then Kelly showed up, as radiant as ever, and we worked with the girls for a little while.

The ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch. The colors of the wedding were just beautiful and I can see why fall has become more popular than spring for weddings. After the ceremony we headed to a private location off of 130 for some Bridal Party shots, and then off to the reception we went.

The reception was at the Harrison Room. Things went great and the bride, groom and all guests had a blast. The food was delicious also. This wedding was neat because it was the first wedding I have run into people I know... both the best man and one of the guests (that went to my HS). Congratulations Kelly and Thom. Pictures to follow!!

Zoo Boo!

Yesterday, my husband and I took the kiddos to the Pittsburgh Zoo for their Halloween Zoo Boo event. It was really fun! We walked around to see all the animals... because they do it during the day now... and they had trick-or-treat stops along the way! The kids got all dressed up and had a blast.

They also had pumpkin painting and haunted houses too, but we had to skip out on that stuff. Benjamin was dressed in his Little Devil costume and Caitlyn was Tinkerbell. Enjoy the few pictures we took. I'll post more of them in their costumes after Wednesday... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
