Amy and Chris

There are so many beautiful photos from Amy and Chris' wedding last night, but so far this one taken early in the day is my favorite.

The wedding was at The Succop Conservancy, an old estate near the Butler County Airport that is managed by Butler County Community College. It's just across Rt. 8 from The Mansion, where Mackenzie and Matt's wedding reception was the week before.

The grounds and house provided a fantastic scene for the wedding.

Of course, the weather is always a factor when you're planning a wedding outdoors. At around 8:30 it started raining buckets. Kudos to Amy and Chris for going with the flow (sorry, couldn't resist the pun) and continuing the dancing!

Credit goes to the Conservancy staff for braving the torrential downpour to put down the canvas walls on the pavilion so that the party could continue.

I'll be posting more photos throughout the week as I continue to edit. Thanks again Amy and Chris.

About Me

My photo
Pittsburgh, PA, United States
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.
