Better late than never

Sunday I promised I'd tell you all about Steve and Aimee's wedding, but yesterday my already hectic life got even more busy. My grandmother broke her hip and we were in Maryland while she had hip replacement surgery. It was late when we got home and I didn't have a chance to update the blog, but I'm fixing that today.

Saturday's wedding was amazing! We first went to Aimee's mother's house and took some preparation photos as well as some shots of the bride and bridesmaids. I also met the adorable flower girl who loved having her photo taken. Why are flower girls always so cute??

After that, we headed to St. Paul's Cathedral which is is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh. It was my first time shooting at St. Paul's (we have a few more weddings there this year) and I was amazed. It is a gorgeous church with gothic architecture and is just stunning to see. The ceremony went great and after we shot a few quick "formals", we went a block up the street to shoot more photos at the Carnegie Building. I loved using the huge columns to frame the photos and it made for some great, dramatic shots.

Once that part of the day was over, it was time for the party to begin. We drove to the Youghiogheny Country Club for the reception. We did some shots on the golf course and then headed inside for the party. The night was crazy and so much fun. At one point, one of Steve's groomsmen when dragged me out onto the dance floor! I'm sure that must have been a sad site, and think they even got it on video. I'll never live it down. The DJ was Andy Hutelmyer and I have to say he was the absolute best DJ I've worked with so far. He played excellent music and really kept the party going. Hopefully we'll have more weddings with Andy at the helm!

Overall, it was a fantastic day and I love the photos we took. Aimee and Steve were absolute joys to work with and I hope they're having an incredible honeymoon!
