Kelly and James are married!

Kelly was a classic beauty in her Anne Barge gown from Anne Gregory for the Bride. James was handsome as ever in black tie. They celebrated all night long with their family and friends at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh. The space was dripping with romancantic, soft toned florals and candlelight. Mocha Rose Floral Designs really outdid themselves!

Pittsburgh weather can be temperamental but it was a truly magical day despite the rain. And hey, it's good luck, right?! Congratulations to the newlyweds!!

Sharing a colorful family session from this fall. I just loved the pop of purple against the fall greens and oranges. The area outside of Phipps and the Schenley Cafe is one of my favorite locations. There are so many options for portraits! It gets beautiful light and usually some amazing color on the trees near the cafe if you hit it at the right time! 

Another year is wrapping up and I'm finally able to blog all of the beauty from Andrea and Jon's wedding! They celebrated at the Treesdale Country Club on an unseasonably warm October day.  It was a sweet (and I mean literally sweet) celebration of Andrea and Jon's lifetime love! These two have known each other since the 6th grade and now they are married! Andrea owns Flour & Sugar Cakery , and is an incredible baker, so the treats were plentiful! No complaints here! You must go and get her cupcakes if you are out that way!! Go 'Like' and follow her shop on Social Media to see the daily flavors! The first time I met her she invited me to HER bakery after hours. Here I was supposed to be impressing them with my charming personality ;) so they would hire me and Andrea is winning me over with her kind heart and cupcakes. I ended up leaving with new friends AND a box of cupcakes! 

There was no shortage of sweets or love. The phrase 'Love is Sweet' was true at this wedding! Some of my favorite moments happened at the reception. Her dad's speech brought me to tears. It was so genuine and honest, just perfectly describing his daughter. I have a hard time keeping it together now with anything daddy/daughter related at weddings. I have to mention the cookie and sweets table at this wedding! It was massive and so, so good! Later on in the reception, Jon was completely caught off guard when a Stanley Cup grooms cake was wheeled out! He had no idea Andrea was making it and the look on his face says it all! Congrats to the newlyweds!
