When my good friend Natalie got engaged to Matt, I was thrilled for her. When the two of them asked me to photograph their wedding day, I knew it would be an absolute favorite of mine. \u00a0They set the date for February 2, 2013, \u00a0and I absolutely LOVE winter weddings! \u00a0Their day was beautiful!<\/p>\n

Natalie decided to take a referral from me for her hair stylist, and she booked Casey at\u00a0Revelation Hair Designs<\/a>\u00a0in Moon Township, Coraopolis. Casey has been my stylist since early 2012, and I have always been so thrilled with her amazing work! Needless to say, she did an incredible job with Natalie’s wedding up-do, and several of Natalie’s bridesmaids also booked stylists at Revelation Hair Designs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\nNatalie’s bridal party enjoyed the weekend preparing for the big day at the\u00a0Pittsburgh Airport Marriott<\/a>. \u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Matt and his groomsmen “prepared” for the wedding in their own way at the bride and groom’s home nearby.\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The Crowning Ceremony took place at the gorgeous\u00a0St. Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church<\/a> in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. \u00a0The natural light in the church was beautiful, and the ceremony was perfect (except for that one time when the Best Man dropped the rings!). \u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Without much time between the ceremony and the reception (and a nice little afternoon snow storm), we stopped near the Old Economy Village in Ambridge to create some formal images in the streets \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0This wedding party was an absolute blast.\u00a0\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The limo bus then brought us to the site of the reception, The Club at Shadow Lakes<\/a> in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. \u00a0This is one of my absolute favorite venues and the happy couple and their family and friends enjoyed the evening celebrating their new marriage.\u00a0\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n
