Wedding photography for unique, free-thinking, laid back Pittsburgh brides and grooms.
It happens often at receptions. After the bride and groom have their first dance, eat dinner, cut their cake and visit with their guests, they then end up spending a lot of time apart. The bride might be dancing with her friends, while the groom talks with his friends. Or they might be chatting with their respective family members.
So, I love when I find the bride and groom, late in the evening, carving out a moment to themselves. And the darkness adds a little more drama and romance.
Right on East Carson Street in the South Side, The Milkshake Factory/Chocolate Celebrations (note: there’s music when you launch the link to their site) is a timeless little dessert haven. The exterior sets the stage for the vintage feel within.
Once you enter, you immediately see an amazing spread of chocolates of all shapes and sizes and colors, each with a label that perfectly matches the vintage look.
Is your mouth watering yet?
I loved these colorfully wrapped chocolates. Beautiful and delicious.
Opposite the display case stands a wall of exquisitely packaged truffles and other delicacies.
As if all the chocolate (by Edward Marc Chocolatier) wasn’t enough… then there’s the ice cream! Two freezers full of amazing flavors, which create a menu of 55 flavors of milkshake. The best one I’ve had was a pumpkin milkshake in the fall. They added a little cinnamon and it was divine.
Here’s a small sampling of the milkshake flavors:
Yum. I highly recommend paying them a visit!

When Jonas wakes up in the morning, I hear some little footsteps upstairs. And then he sits at the top of the stairs for a couple minutes before he comes down. I don’t know, thinking about whether to ask for “juice” or “juice” or “juice” for breakfast? Unlike his mom, he doesn’t like change much.
One morning last week I was prepared to capture the unbearably cute little sleepyhead before he made his way downstairs. I just want to reach into the screen and hug the little guy!
