I knew this couple was amazing from the very first phone call. Typically, it’s the Brides that call and chat with me about all things wedding, but this time…this time it was Sean. I was so impressed with our first conversation, I knew that they were going to be awesome to work with.

Sean and Amanda held their wedding and reception at the Mansion at Maple Heights in Pittsburgh, PA. They chose not to have a “formal” bridal party, but their friends hung out with them during the wedding day preparations……..and there was no shortage of laughs!

Her dress was gorgeous. She told me that originally, it didn’t look the way it does. There was beading all over the front which she had removed and instead of throwing them out, she came up with the idea of using them around the bottom of her bouquet.

I’m in looove with her shoes! They added a perfect pop of color…..and “something blue”.
Amanda opening her gift from Sean…a beautiful heart shaped necklace <3


How handsome is this guy?!

I told you there were tons of laughs.

Amanda’s gift to Sean were these cuff links which signifies where they met.


Insanely gorgeous…and there’s those shoes again!

The back of the dress scooped beautifully especially with her hair down!


Dad seeing his daughter as a Bride….these are ALWAYS my favorite shots!


A few finishing touches!

Although they weren’t “technically” bridesmaids……they were the BEST!!! I loved their light heartedness and sense of humor.

SWOOON!!!


These shots were taken just a bit before the ceremony….can you tell how excited she is?! Speaking of ceremony, wait till you see how gorgeous the ceremony space was! Stay tuned for tomorrow’s blog! <3




I LOVE the shot of the bride laughing in the chair! I hope that one makes the album!
just beautiful!
