Colleen + Ryan | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer

I am thrilled about this wedding post.  Colleen is my childhood best friend.  We were inseparable .. passing notes all day at school, sleepovers every weekend, and family vacations together.  She was my family's 4th child.  When she asked me to photograph her wedding I was ecstatic about the opportunity, but also really nervous.  I would be 37 weeks pregnant at the time of the celebration.  I agreed despite my worries.  With the help of my hubby, I had a great time shooting and was able to capture the day and their love for one another just as I hoped.  Thank you Colleen and Ryan for having me!!! Enjoy! 



Colleen and Ryan had their wedding ceremony in July in Antigua.  This was their reception at home to celebrate with all of their family and friends.  Hidden Valley resort was a beautiful location for the party! 

  She had the most beautiful dress and accessories!  

BLING BLING!


And her wedding rings were absolutely AMAZING!!  Check out that rock!


And of course Ryan is rocking a camouflage wedding band.  


Her sister-in-law, Wendy, helped her into her gorgeous dress!





Ready to go babe?  


It was raining off and on... 


We were lucky the rain stopped long enough to get all the family pictures outside! Love this family!








Her dress was perfect for her - stunning!









I love getting close ups of all the details!







Love the twist in her hair and the baby's breath!






LOVE this smile!  They are so happy!


  




The shot below makes me all warm and fuzzy :)








Waiting to be announced


Colleen was all happy before Ryan made a cake mess all over her face.  


And she forgave him so quickly!


Genuine Love right here!





Time to party!!








shots, shots, shots, shots, shots

Colleen is as light as a feather, and was swept off her feet multiple times!

Colleen and Ryan, we can't thank you enough for allowing us to photograph your special day with your family and friends!  We truly enjoyed every moment and wish you a lifetime of love!
