Lindsay & Bill: Engagement

Lindsay & Bill met and started dating while they were both working for a local politician in Pittsburgh, but they had to keep their relationship under wraps for a while.  When their local politician ended up losing the election they were working towards, Lindsay said it was the best thing that could have happened to them, because they could finally announce to the world that they were a couple:)  Fast forward a few years, and Bill proposed to Lindsay on July 25th.....that's right, he gave her a "Christmas in July".  I thought that was such a creative and thoughtful idea!

I met up with Lindsay & Bill for their engagement shoot last weekend when I was out in Pittsburgh - I had a great time hanging out with them for the morning!  Here are some of my favorites from the session:

[...] so excited to do this wedding because I had an awesome time with Lindsay & Bill during their engagement session.  I think Lindsay’s sister and Maid of Honor described Lindsay perfectly during her speech – [...]

Traci & John: Wedding

Happy Wedding Season!  The wedding season officially kicked off for me this past Saturday, and I couldn't be more excited!  I have a crazy busy summer ahead of me, packed full of weddings and engagement sessions:)  This past weekend I had the pleasure of assisting Heather out in Pittsburgh for Traci & John's wedding.  I just love working with Heather!  She is an amazing photographer and is a great teacher.....I wish I lived closer to Pittsburgh so I could work with her more often:)

Anyway, back to Traci and John - their wedding was held in a huge log cabin type venue in the middle of the woods.....I just loved the setting.  It made for some amazing pictures!  Here are a few that I captured from their day!

First, all the details:

She was also such an expressive bride!  I caught this reaction from her a few moments before she headed down the aisle:)

Then she had to peak outside before she headed down the aisle with her dad:

The Colsons

Right after I got back from vacation this past weekend I had the pleasure of driving out to South Jersey to take some more pictures for the Colson sisters. At this point they're all married and don't have the last name of Colson anymore, but they'll always be the Colson family to me:) Both Sarah and Mary are pregnant right now, so along with the pictures of the kids, they wanted some pictures of the two of them.....since you never know if they'll both be pregnant at the same time again! I thought that was such a fun idea, and it's a great period of their lives to document. Here are all the Colson sisters: Mary (left), Dawn (middle) and Sara (right)

Mary and Dawn are the fabulous sisters behind A Garden Party - they do amazing work with flowers, and bring a fun, fresh feel to the floral industry....I highly recommend them for any of your events!

This is Sara's daughter Annabelle - we tried to have her play with this pretty yellow tulip for our photoshoot:

But she was much more interested in picking up rocks in the dirt:

And carrying around as many as she could hold in her tiny little hands:)

And here are a few of Sara and her family:

Doesn't Sara's dress look amazing against the yellow flowers and green grass?  I loved it!  Great location choice Mary!

And of course I had to snag some pictures of Dawn's two girls too - they are SO cute, and so easy to photograph.....I'm spoiled when it comes to taking pictures of them!

I just love Grace, and I can already predict what she will be when she grows up.  If she isn't a party of A Garden Party, she will be a model - as soon as I start taking pictures of her she moves into all kinds of fun poses and works the camera all on her own:

I think we have another budding florist on our hands:)

I LOVED this picture when I first saw it - she has such a sweet look on her face while she is holding her little flower, and it looks like she is imitating Mary and Sara by holding her little belly:

Look how sweet Annabelle looks sitting in the middle of the flower field - she really loved it!

And here are the two pregnant sisters!

I loved this shot:

And lastly, there isn't anything special or amazing about this picture, but I just loved it, because it's all the Colsons just strolling along together.....they're just such a great family and I love them all!  The only one that was missing was Mary's husband John - but don't worry, you'll see some pictures of John and Mary in the near future:)
