Rachel + Lorin :: A Super Rad Royal Park Wedding

ceremony + reception ~ The Royal Park Hotel

dj ~ Mary Ann Ross

cake topper ~ etsy shop Mudcards

veil ~ etsy shop Brendas Bridal Veils

dress ~ Vogue to Vintage

florist ~ Nino Salvaggios

string quartet ~ La Corda

linens ~ Sposa Seating

I talk sometimes, well actually a lot, about certain couples that I feel a special kinship with. Rachel + Lorin took that to a whole new level. I have never been more certain that two people were meant to be bestest friends ever. BUT they live in Pittsburgh! Blarg!

FAIR WARNING TO RACHEL + LORIN: If you move back here, we are going to be instant best friends.

They had gorgeous details. Her shoes were amazing. There was a custom designed comic book inspired invitation.  A delightful bird cage veil. His funky socks. A custom cake topper with their pooch, Simon.

The ceremony was incredibly personal and hilarious. But, the very best part was the reception. They pretty much had only rap and hip hop played. Melt my heart. It was incredible.

A special thanks to Jennifer for being by my side to shoot this amazing day with me.

Carrie + Charlie :: A Sexy Retro Car Themed Portrait Session~!

Carrie + Charlie have been wonderful clients and friends for years now. It all started with their wedding and now we get to do super cool sessions like this one for their anniversaries.

This concept was their idea. It was something very important to them. For the past 91 years, The Vinsetta Garage has been a functioning auto garage. It closed it’s doors and waas listed for sale at the end of 2010. Most who were familiar with the icon, were terrified that it would be torn down and replaced with a new generic building. However, the same people that brought us the amazing Clarkston Union are turning the garage into a restaurant (yes! it will have mac + cheese!). They say that the exterior will remain mainly the same, keeping the old garage vibe. Very cool. Let’s face it though, just that mac + cheese is enough to be labeled very cool ~ side note: if you have not bee to the Clarkston Union and tried that mac + cheese, do it asap.

So anyways,  Carrie + Charlie are super awesome and hot and happy and friendly and photogenic, so I know going into a shoot with them that it won’t be like work, it will just be fun and easy. This was no different. As soon as I point a camera at these two something magical happens. They make me love my job and photography more than I did before I pointed my camera at them.  That’s powerful.

A very special thanks to my friend Andy for helping me out on this special session.

Thomas’ 1 Year Portraits ~!

 

Deanna has been an excellent client and I have really loved getting to know her! I first met her when she came in for a pooch portrait with her insanely handsome Rhodesian Ridgeback, Rufus. Then came her maternity session and now baby Thomas’ 1 year portraits. These are the kind of relationships that help small businesses like mine thrive. Loyalty and forging friendships is so important to keep our small businesses afloat. So, thank you Deanna for being a loyal mod4 client and friend!
