Amanda and Ross - ACE Hotel Pittsburgh

From the bride and groom: We chose the ACE hotel Pittsburgh because of the hip and cool vibe it gave off, and of course the amazing food from Whitfield! Our whole idea was to go for a fun, simple, elegant, modern and light hearted feel. If we had one piece of advice it would be to hire a wedding planner/coordinator specifically Melissa with Devoted to you. She was amazing! We seriously did not have to worry about a thing and we just got to enjoy ourselves all day.

Our trip to Kentucky

Our trip to Kentucky!

On our last weekend off we knew we had to do something fun before wedding season starts! By now I am sure that most of you know that Chrissy and I love Whiskey, particularly bourbons and ryes. Our number one visit was Willet. A craft distillery just outside Bardstown, KY and it was AWESOME. You immediately feel like family when you enter the grounds and every bit of it is genuine. We also visited Heaven Hill, Maker's Mark, Buffalo Trace and Woodford. Every one had something cool to see and offer. We would HIGHLY recommend a trip to Kentucky....whether you like whiskey or not, it is an awesome trip!

Our trip to Park City, UT

Our trip to Park City, UT

Our annual trip to Park City was a blast this year! Instead of skiing for 5 days we decided to do some more exploration and activities throughout the area. We look our Neice snow tubing or as she says "snow skiing!" and she had a BLAST. We went over to Heber, UT and took a swim in the hot springs and finished our trip with a tour of Blue Sky Ranch where the High West Distillery is located. It is always nice to get away for a week and see some new things. It is easy to forget how much the U.S. has to offer!

If you ever get the chance to go to Park City, UT take full advantage! There is so much to see and do and everyone is so nice! UT really does have so much to offer and if you're up for a drive you can be to Zion Nation Park in 4.5 hours! 

A tree farm engagement - Carmen and Seth

A tree farm engagement session! When Carmen first reached out for an engagement session I knew it was going to be an awesome time just from our conversations and planning. After rescheduling a few times we finally got a date nailed down and WOW did we get lucky! Between the weirdest weather days we've seen in Pittsburgh in February it started dumping snow during their session and we took full advantage! Carmen and Seth's love is so genuine and their laughter and energy is contagious. It was such a blast working with these two!

Our trip to Florida

With all of this teeth chattering cold we have been having in Pittsburgh, Chrissy and I decided to head on down to Florida to visit family, friends and go to Disney World! Chrissy and I had not been to Disney World since high school (13 years at least!) It was quite pleasant to escape the cold and have a week in 70+ degree weather. If you ever need a quick escape you can always check out Spirit or Frontier Airlines. We got KILLER deals on tickets!

Renaissance Pittsburgh New Year's Eve wedding - Emily + Aaron

New Year's Eve is one of the most fun days of the year to photograph a wedding! Not only is it NEW YEARS EVE, but it's also a day when everyone is over the moon happy! The two combined make for an AWESOME day and celebration! Emily and Aaron had such a beautiful day at the Renaissance in downtown Pittsburgh. The Farmer's Daughter did an amazing job with the ceremony backdrop and all the flowers for the day...it was unlike anything we had ever seen at the Renaissance! We will let the images speak for themselves, but SERIOUSLY, if you're thinking about a New Year's Eve wedding....DO IT!
