I’m not sure if you knew….but Greg and I met online 12 years ago so when I get to photograph couples who have met the same way……….it’s AWESOME-SAUCE!! Although, Greg and I didn’t meet on Match.com like Ellie and George, I still remember how exciting the whole process was! <3

“We met on Match.com! I had just moved back to Pittsburgh after living in New York City since college. I was not really looking to date anyone really but was trying to meet people in many different ways.

Our first date was at Starbucks and I knew George was special right away. I thought he was really cute and smart and interesting. I had to go back to NYC for work for two weeks a couple days later. When I got back to Pittsburgh we went out again and the minute I saw him get out of the car to pick me up I had a “woah” moment. We had an amazing date (I felt electricity when he put his hand on my back at one point), but he was leaving for Vienna the next day for two weeks. He surprised me by sending flowers on my birthday while he was away. It was a loooong two weeks! We were pretty much together from then on.” -Ellie

The entire day took place at the Mansion at Maple Heights. They have some of the BEST mirrors ….so I had to play around with some reflection shots!

The FABULOUS Julie Marckisotto was the makeup artist…….she’s amazing! Just sayin! Ellie looked AMAZING!!

She also had the most gorgeous thick dark hair. I won’t lie….I’m A LOT jealous of people with thick hair! 🙂 Brooke Rockwell, the hair stylist, worked her magic as usual!

POW!

Seriously…….stunning! <3

George is a lucky guy for sure!!

    Ellie, have you considered becoming a model? You would be much in demand! You look FABULOUS.
    Jen did a GREAT job with your pictures, as did everyone involved in preparing you for your BIG day!
