Boating in Pittsburgh…

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with bridges – not exactly sure why that is, it just is. I had the opportunity to go boating on each of the three rivers for the first time last night and had a blast. I’m not really sure what it is about being on the boat, but it’s just incredibly relaxing to me – absolutely love it – and the views of Pittsburgh – and the bridges – from the boat are absolutely amazing.

Mr. and Mrs. Mark Siegel – because once just isn’t enough!

When Jen and I met to deliver her proofs, she mentioned that her parents had some incredible land that would make for some tremendous backdrops and wanted to know if I’d be interested in getting together again for some more shots. Um, yeah, that was a no-brainer! I knew the instant we turned off Rt. 31 and I saw the views that we were in for another great day. I can’t speak highly enough of either Jen or Mark – or Mr. and Mrs. Lori for that matter. These guys have seriously been just flat out awesome to work with!

Photo of the Week: Mr. Roman

I’m not sure that I can put into words just how much fun it was to be involved in the Roman-Kubas wedding this past Saturday. Part of that fun came from just how nice everybody was and how great of a time everybody had on this great day. I know it’s not one photo but a series of four, but I just couldn’t resist with this one. Mr. Roman was a great time all around – here he is doing the “Dougie”…

Kim and Marc: St. Bruno’s, UPG and Roosevelt Hall (a preview)

I had the opportunity to work with both Kim and Marc today on what was just an incredibly fun day all around. St. Bruno’s is a beautiful church and a great place for pics (floor to ceiling stained glass? thank you very much!), UPG can’t be beat and the party really got going once we hit Roosevelt Hall – combine these great settings with some genuinely fun people and it was just a heck of a time… So happy that I got to play a part in your special day!

 And one of my absolute favorites…

 

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Marc and Kim Kubas!

Photo of the Week: Tony and Noha…

I recently had the opportunity to spend some time in Washington, D.C. with my brother Tony and his wife, Noha. It was a getaway of sorts for me, but also a chance to spend more time with these two, which was even more fun. I had the chance to take a lot of photos, but this one is probably my favorite. We spent the day walking around Annapolis, toured the Naval Academy, had lunch at Pusser’s and just had a great time. In addition to all of that, I really wish I could pull off that hat like Tony can! Thank you so much to both of you for the hospitality and a tremendous getaway…
