She wanted a garden party setting…I’m thinking she nailed it! I just love the different textures of the flowers, table cloths and all the shiny, sparkly fun candles and flower vases!!  Anytime I shoot a wedding at the Mansion at Maple Heights in Pittsburgh, PA-my brides never cease to amazing me by all of their ideas!

And this! So I know most of the photographers on the planet CRINGE when someone is using their cell phone while you’re trying to take photos-I get it, but don’t get me wrong, it’s part of our culture now and you can either fight it or roll with it….besides how else would have Eric’s dad been able to be present at his son’s wedding had it not been for facetime! I love technology! This images is of them having a quick chat with his dad from his hospital bed! It seriously warmed my heart! <3

Eric and Theresa surprised us all (including me) when their slow song went to a fast song and they started busting out some dance moves! It.was.awesome!

How cool is this? Theresa didn’t want to do a traditional bouquet toss so she did a lottery ticket toss…..the guys also got to participate! IT was so much fun!
