Glen & Julia – Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Engagement Photographer

April 24, 2013

Meet Glen and Julia. These two hold a very special place in my heart. Not only because their love and their lives inspire such greatness, nor that these two just radiate and ooze happiness and joy… but, Glen is my second photographer. Many of my past clients have grown to know and adore Glen, and with good reason; he realizes the depths of love – to his friends, strangers, or the orphans he and Julia endlessly give their love to when they’re in India.

Glen and Julia were married last fall in an outdoor ceremony while rain poured down on a tiny, cramped tent that was heated such devotion, such love between all their family and friends. It was such an incredible, heart-warming ceremony… and maybe someday I’ll share those incredible images. But tonight, I wanted to share a few frames from their engagement session in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania last fall.

Glen and I start our 2013 wedding season this Saturday together, on a family farm in rural Pennsylvania. We couldn’t be more excited; I have a feeling this is going to be such a creative, artistic and amazing wedding season.

recipe – heirloom tomatoes and blue cheese

September 13, 2012

There’s nothing like a fresh heirloom tomato straight from the garden. So, as the last of these are plucked from the vines, I wanted to share what I cooked for dinner tonight; it was perfectly simple and perfectly delicious.

 

Heirloom Tomatoes with Bacon and Blue Cheese 

Serves 4

Cut tomatoes into thick wedges. Lightly drizzle with blue cheese dressing (see below) and finish with snipped scallions and plenty of fresh cracked pepper. I also topped mine with a little bit of bacon.

  • 3/4 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1/2 cup coarsely crumbled blue cheese
  • Buttermilk

Mix first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Add blue cheese and stir until well blended. If too thick, thin with buttermilk by tablespoonfuls to desired consistency.

Eric and Erica – Troy, Pennsylvania wedding

September 5, 2012

It’s so rare for me to shoot a wedding back in my hometown, and so I was delighted when Eric and Erica contacted me for their June wedding. During our engagement session, Erica said their wedding was going to be fun, bright and cheery; a very whimsical carnival theme – and whimsical it was! This wedding was completely DIY and thoughtful – and I loved every detail each of their families poured into it; from the mountaintop setting on the family’s farm, the elaborate candy bar and popcorn maker, to what seemed like hundreds of balloons. This wedding perfectly captured the personalities of Eric and Erica; fun, lighthearted and youthful in spirit.

This couple is the most BEAUTIFUL couple I have ever seen. I know them both and they’re the perfect example for a life long commitment. Whenever you seen one, you seen the other. They’re stuck like glue. The wedding & pictures look amazing! Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Shedden!
