Weddings are such a wonderful opportunity to be creative and make a statement about ourselves. How lucky am I to help you do that?? I am blessed to be able to share such incredibly special moments in peoples’ lives. And recently relocated back to the Pittsburgh area from Los Angeles, I am excited to do so in my own hometown!
Remember Shannon and Travis from their relaxed engagement session on the North Side? …. I’m excited to share a handful of photos from their beautiful wedding with you! They married and celebrated at the very elegant Italian trattoria Bella Sera in Canonsburg, but started off first getting ready at the nearby Hilton Garden Inn…
How about a silhouette of the bride Shannon as she waits for her mom to lace her up? Gorgeous!
I also loved the way the window reflected itself into this scenic painting on the wall…
Down the hall, Travis readied himself as well.
Then it was time for the bride and groom’s First Look! Shannon and Travis chose to see each other before their ceremony, in a very intimate moment in the courtyard. That allowed us for a little more photo time in a much less stressful environment than trying to squeeze it in after their ceremony. They were so excited to see each other! Here’s one of many taken during the couple of minutes they shared alone together (and you’ve already seen another, in your sneak peek)…
But first a quick shoe fix.
HA!
And vice versa, of course.
I couldn’t get enough of these wispies. They’re just so romantic. Especially when you put a kissing bride and groom in there!
They are just so adorable!
Love this shoulder move. Hot!
A little bit of wind can really make a picture I’d say!

And of course elegantly beautiful
But you can’t keep a smile off her face for too long!
Quick shot of the attractive bridal party before heading to the ceremony!
Last minute prep work. How about all those mirrors!
It’s always so romantic when a groom gets emotional upon first sight of his bride walking down the aisle! Travis did not disappoint.
Congrats you two!
Travis and Shannon chose to cut their cake and dance their first dance before their sit down dinner. They chose to have an adorable (and delicious!) cupcake tower, and just cut the topper.
The toasts were incredibly touching. Shannon’s sister and MOH surprised her with a few words.
Time to eat, but first a newlywed kiss!
Shannon’s first dance with her dad…
And then the dancing begins!!
DJ Jack Millz did a great job keeping folks on the dance floor all night, mixing songs the whole time.
Enjoy a couple of dancing pics… This group was really enjoying themselves, and there are many many more for the bride and groom to enjoy!
And finally, a ring shot. Yes, I did eat those cookies. Yes, they were delicious.
Shannon and Travis, you guys are awesome! Thanks so much for welcoming me into your day! (and may I say, you had one of the best cookie tables ever!!)
Much thanks also goes out to Steve Dietz of Sharp Image Studios for his always stellar help!
Friends and family of the bride and groom can access the images from the wedding here. Enjoy!
