    Choosing a photographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make during your wedding planning. It's so important to find someone you can trust to capture the big and small moments of your wedding day, and someone who makes you feel comfortable at ease.

Jordan & Andrew’s wedding – Riverside Landing, Oakmont

I knew that I’d hit it off with Jordan and Andrew right from our first meeting, when I discovered that Andrew shared my dislike of Seinfeld. Seinfeld detractors are pretty rare, so I do get a little excited when I find one. And I have to love a couple that gets married on Harry Potter’s birthday!

I LOVED Jordan’s dress.

Getting ready is rarely serious business. Especially for this fun group.It’s the latest rage – wedding day push-ups. Except Jordan forgot to cross push-ups off her list before she put her dress on, so she had to settle for push-ups on the wall.

While I was with Jordan and her bridesmaids, my assistant Jennifer Stein was with Andrew and his groomsmen. Where this was happening.

Each bridesmaid had a different color bouquet. They looked gorgeous with the deep blue bridesmaid dresses. Photo by Jennifer.These two share the same sense of dry, witty humor. Lots of laughs and lots of banter.Seconds after this photo, a bug crawled onto Jordan’s leg. Boy did she fly up off the ground quickly!

After we were done with pictures, we made our way over to the reception at Riverside Landing in Oakmont. Andrew approved of the cake.Guests were invited to share a wish, advice or prediction for the newlyweds.After dinner, Jordan and Andrew enjoyed a few minutes alone out on the deck overlooking the Allegheny River. It was a beautiful evening, finally having cooled down after the July heat wave.Jordan had assured me there would be lots of cookies. She was right.First dance.Last ones on the dance floor for the anniversary dance – Jordan’s grandparents, married 66 years!So, Jordan is quite expressive. Not everyone would appreciate a photo like this of themselves… but then there is Jordan. You’re welcome, my dear.No idea what they were talking about during the father-daughter dance.I love to see couples stick together and find time to dance!Congratulations Jordan and Andrew!

I am in love with all of Jordan’s expressions. And that photo of Andrew wearing the hat, holding the megaphone is just what a groom’s portrait should be. So glad I could join you too.

Christina, Tx you so much for making Jordan and Andrew’s day. I was so busy dancing once I was at the reception, that I did not notice that you were everywhere. Jordan forwarded me your website. The pictures are wonderful and priceless and your comments are a hoot. Scott and I would perhaps like to talk about some pics for ourselves. Talk soon. Tx again for being so cool. Karen
