When I'm not photographing or with my family, I get lost in pop- impressionism oil paintings. Check out some of my work here.
Winter weddings didn’t really used to be a thing in Southwest Pennsylvania – then COVID happened and it was like couples were willing to give the winter months a try! And i’m SO glad for the change!
I get it, the spring/summer months are magical, the weather can be warm and sunny, and there are tons of flowers and greens in bloom. However, the winter is a gorgeous time of year too — snow, elegance and the overall feel of festivities from the holidays linger. Sam and Sanjay host a perfect Winter Wedding at the Mansions on Fifth and it is stunning. Gorgeous rich florals, lovely mauve accents — not to mention the incredible and historic venue — The Mansions on Fifth. You simply cannot go wrong with a winter wedding at this luxury hotel. It has all the ambiance and warmth you want for such an occasion!
One part of their day stands out to me — the First Look at Phipps Conservatory. If you aren’t aware, I am a fan of First Looks for MANY reasons. I won’t reiterate them all here, but they will always hold a special place in my heart. After Sam and Sanjay did their first look, they took the time to reach their vows to each other. So meaningful and special! Enjoy some photos from their wedding, I love reliving this day.
