Jenn and Craig II
My wife and the kids and I just got back from a short vacation. It was great to get away to see some old friends, enjoy some good food, and swim in the ocean. It was very refreshing, so this morning I was eager to continue editing Jenn and Craig's wedding photos from last weekend. There are plenty of wonderful photos, here are a few:
The reception was at the Crowne Plaza Pittsburgh South. The staff was organized and attentive and the food was great (thanks!). It was a nice room that anybody in the South Hills who is looking for a venue ought to consider.
Craig is an avid hunter, so he pulled out the head lamp when he went for Jenn's garter. It made a reappearance later in the evening during the dancing.
I loved the cake topper - a capital G in pink rhinestones.
Not only did the baker do a great job with the cake, but the strawberry tuxedoes and wedding dresses were pretty cool, too.

I find it a privilege to be able to document in pictures the day when a couple enters into marriage. Family is the most important thing we've got and a wedding strengthens and enlarges those ties. It's a day filled with emotions and beauty and I approach it with reverence as well as a sense of humor.
My way of working is unobtrusive. After all, it’s your day and you are the center of attention. Couples are often surprised by the many candid moments in their photos given the fact that they really didn’t notice that I was taking their picture.
That's the essence of photojournalism. It's a philosophy and a way of working, not just a style of shooting pictures. I tell clients that once they become used to my presence they'll find that they and their guests will go about their day without being concerned that their photo is being taken. That's when the best "moments" reveal themselves.
As a photojournalist it’s my job to tell the story of your day. From the time you prepare, to the ceremony, and through the reception I’ll be there to capture the memories you will treasure forever. In addition, I’ll work with you to get those important portraits, and photos of the wedding party and your family.
Unlike many photographers who claim to be wedding photojournalists, I am a working photojournalist. I do it every day and have been since 1992. My work appears daily in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and has appeared in many magazines and newspapers including: Rolling Stone, USA Today, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Palm Beach Post, the New York Daily News, the ABA Journal, Highlights, Motorcyclist, Road Racer X, Sport Rider, Super Street Bike, and many others. My photographs have received recognition and awards on the state, local, and national levels.
