Outstanding in Her Field

Wow! Two fantastic weddings this weekend.

I'm really lucky to be able to photograph the weddings of such great couples. It is truly inspiring. As the Reverend said at the wedding yesterday (I'll paraphrase): What the world needs more than ever is for people to come together, and what better way to accomplish that than the marriage of two people who love each other.

Armstrong Farms in Saxonburg provided the backdrop and as always owner Kathy Allen came through with a beautiful day.

I'll be posting photos from both of the weddings this weekend, so check back.

As the full moon rose over Armstrong Farms last night an event unfolded that Joe captured in wonderful images that will warm my heart for years to come.

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.
