We specialize in documenting your life. Seniors, Families and Weddings.
A million years ago in February we traveled to Pittsburgh to photograph Melisa + Ryan's gorgeous wedding at Carnegie Hall. We had a blast-and the wedding was a photographers delight in so many ways.

We have been bad bloggers since with this new blog we were still trying to figure out how we wanted to present our images. We have decided to go back to our original method of showcasing bigger images since our loyal blog followers enjoyed that best.

Enjoy!

Venue: Carnegie Hall, Pittsburgh
Dress: Monique Lhuillier (custom)

We had the great joy of finding out we placed two images in PDN Top Knots 2009!

We placed back in 2007 and it was amazing to place again! Even more so since we took home Best of Category: Candids from one of our favorite images ever-Amanda + Matt's vintage wedding at the Guardian Building in Detroit.

If you want to check it out on newsstands-this is the cover:

Today we had the total pleasure of photographing rupert + sarah's e-session.  Towards the end of the session sarah said "wouldn't it be awesome if we could get some balloons and take some photos with them?" and we said  "YES!!" so we did. More to come soon!

Way back in December (which still feels like yesterday!) we were asked to photograph Liz + Ken's gorgeous-intimate 20 guest mid-week wedding at the Ritz Carlton. We were more than happy to oblige. We were also thrilled when Style Me Pretty did a 8 set feature on their wedding last month.

You can check out their wedding on SMP here:
