I love going back through the photos of each year and reminiscing on the fun times I had with my beautiful brides. I also like to go back and check and scour through the details that usually get lost in the day. For the next couple of days I decided to post my BEST OF! Enjoy =) ^ Lavender Leigh Photography ^ Nicodem Photography ^ Alison Mish Photography ^ Elizabeth Anne Studios #weddingvendors #weddingattire #bridalattire #weddingplanning #weddingdress #pittsburghwedding

Jenni Grace and I met over the past two years when we had the priviledge of having mutual brides. I have always loved her images and think she is an amazing photography and mom =) Here is a peek in to Jenni Grace When and how did you start out in your profession? I guess it all started when I ended up with a photography class as an art elective in college. I briefly decided that I was going to study Art, until I realized I was really terrible at painting and drawing. :) I h

I met Brooke a few years ago while assisting another wedding artist. I instantly loved her and her work. She truly is a professional in all sense of the word. The hairstyles are amazing, her patient and gracious nature make her a pleasure to work with. Here is a sneak peek into Brooke... I went to Cosmetology School during high school because my mom said I should! I've been doing hair since I was 17 and can't imagine doing anything else! All of my clients, brides and non-br

I met Cindy at a photoshoot in 2012.. I knew who she was and we had become friends on facebook. At this time.. she was still doing hair and makeup and she rocked!! We got to talking.. then ended up having a little lunch date at Primanti's.. We had a lot in common and instantly became friends. Over time.. she got more and more into being behind the camera and LOVED it. She rocks whatever shoot she does.. and I am so glad to call her my FRIEND! When and how did you start out in

It is not common in our area to have many specialized boutiques that cater towards wedding gowns. Enter - Glitter and Grit. I first heard about this boutique from my neighbor (she is friends with the owner), then I heard about it from another makeup artist friend, and then I heard about it from a photographer friend. I apparently have many friends who are friends with Erin, the owner, but I have YET to meet her! Such a small world.. and I am totally excited to share her and h

This is not your typical wedding vendor highlight.. but it is a highlight that definitely deserves attention.. and in some way it is relevant to the wedding process. Read on... About 2 years ago I walked into the Double Tree Hotel in Green Tree for a 2 hour hip hop fitness event. At the time, my friend Bri and I took classes at LA Fitness and one of the hip hop teachers was doing an event with a girl named Kam. So while we were waiting.. I saw so many people with her tank top

I had the pleasure meeting Leeann at one of our favorite frequented places... Nails by Dallas. She was getting a pedi and I, a manicure. One thing led to another.. oh wait that's another story.. Next thing you know we are talking about what we do for a living and come to find out we work in the same industry. Weddings! We also seem to know some of the same people.. (a few photographers, our fitness instructor, our nail gals.. etc etc) Small world huh? A few months later, Leea

I first found out about Nails by Dallas from a Friend, client and bride of mine from 2013. Her naisl looked amazing on her wedding day and I had to know who did them. For almost a year now I have been getting my nails done by a girl named Dallas.. or Kate if Dallas can't take me and in this past year I have loved every gel manicure I have received. They last about 2 to 3 weeks with me and only because my nails grow so fast that I need to get them redone. I feel as a makeup ar

I truly get happy when I am able to go back to venues that I have been to before. The Mansion at Maple Heights was the setting for Kim and Matt's wedding and I had such a great time with Kim and her bridal party.

I am super excited to highlight one of my favorite photography duos.. Ann Louise photography. Sisters by blood and photographers by passion, I was lucky enough last year to have 3 brides use them and the images are to die for! From sweet and classic to total movie star.. they capture the complete essence of the bride, wedding, and the entire day. Let's learn more about them! How did the two of you come up with Photography as a business? Growing up, we were always doing someth

I am super excited for this Vendor Highlight as Briana and I have become great friends over the past 4 years. We met by 'accident' while being contacted for a shoot in 2011. To this day I still call her Bri-AH-NA... and its really Bri-AN-NA... I just can't help it! Since then.. we have done countless photoshoots, weddings and events together and she is the hair ying to my makeup yang. She has always impressed and wowed her clients with her professionalism, her ease of giving

Flower's are one of my most favorite things about a wedding. Other than the Bride. naturally, they give that extra something special. Whether it is the bridal bouquet or the centerpiece, they are sure to stand out.I recently met Lauren Work, the owner of Farmer's Daughter and I just love her background and what she is all about. Take a read... My name is Lauren Work and I'm the owner of The Farmer's Daughter. I grew up on a farm in southwestern Pennsylvania and have been draw

I met Alison this year at Stephanie's wedding.. first impression : sweet, attentive, polite, and from the moment she walked in.. got right to it photographing some important elements and in the most clever of ways. Her photography is simply amazing and she never misses to capture those perfect, timeless moments. Who is Alison Mish Photography? *We are a fun-loving, down to earth husband and wife team of Pittsburgh wedding photographers. We believe in commitment, choosing to b

So in 2013, I got the chance to work with Epic Event Planning by Jessica and Kourtney.. otherwise known as EEP! They were absolutely wonderful to work with and even my bride informed me that she wouldn't have known what to do without them. For any brides considering event planners for your big day.. look no further. EEP is all you need! Since working with them, I have been in contact with them and decided to do a little Q and A. Here is what they had to say! What started you

Excited to share this link from Epic Event Planning by Jessica and Kourtney. They did a Vendor Feature on my business and turned out simply beautiful.
