Bridal Portrait Project

So, about 2 weeks ago I held my very own workshop. Yeah, I know I’m a little new to start holding workshops, but I held it for myself and therefore I was the only attendee.  Overall it went well. Besides the 9 billion degree weather with 10billion percent humidity.  I not only accomplished a few objectives, but also acquired a few noteworthy items:

1. Extra practice working with lighting, posing, and bridal attire.

2. A BUBBLE GUN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

3. Vintage suitcase from Le Mix (Regent Square) &  a vintage globe which I didn’t use but is now part of my living room decor.

4. Several variations of dried flower bouquets now displayed in my dining room from Roxanne’s Dried Flowers (in The Strip).

5. Cupcakes from DOZEN Bakery in Lawrenceville & one leftover, oversized swirly lollipop to save for a rainy day.

Hope you enjoy the images as much as we enjoyed creating them!  Special thanks to my friends and gorgeous models Julia Howard, Terra McBride, and Kristen Willoughby for their willingness to participate and bringing the fun/bold/sultry/natural personalities you are about to see.  Also if you are intrigued by the amazing design and chic-ness of that indoor location, be sure to check out Hot HAUTE Hot in the Strip (2124 Penn Ave).  It has always been my absolute favorite place for unique finds -distressed furniture, home decor & jewelry!  The ambiance is TO. DIE. FOR.  As soon as I figured on needing an indoor location, I started having visions of brides in HAUTE, and they were so kind to make room for us!

Craig & Dawn!

I met Craig & Dawn in Oakland for a post ceremony wedding shoot! They were married by the magistrate earlier in the day. Oakland has some of the most amazing architecture in Pittsburgh. We started at Pitt’s Cathedral of Learning, headed across the street to the famous pillars of Carnegie Mellon Institute, and then to the not so artchitectural but delicious Fuel & Fuddle for a martini/beer.

Meat Tray Anyone? I mean, Meet Trey Everyone!

Introducing my newest nephew! He is Tres Trey, the rock star baby from Seattle, WA. He traveled all the way across the country to meet us! He is the cutest baby boy with a rock star mom (who also happens to be my sister).

And finally a shot of the sisters…courtesy of Sam.
