There is a saying that your first love is the sweetest love. That is certainly the case for Jon and Alexsys, high school sweethearts who said "I do" in a Phipps Conservatory wedding. Bridal portraits and the first look took place at the Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh. Jon's reaction to seeing Alexsys in her gown has got to be one of my favorite moments to date.

Of all the stunning greenhouse locations available for weddings at Phipps, the South Conservatory is the most dynamic. This area is home to the conservatory's seasonal flower shows. Pictures taken here will be especially unique, as the displays change regularly. There is also more beautiful glass artwork here that provides a dramatic backdrop.
Botany Hall is surrounded by vibrant, Mediterranean-inspired garden. This area is complete with meandering walkways, curved benches, and a bubbling stone fountain, making this garden an idyllic and peaceful setting for intimate portraits.
For couples interested in a more unique green backdrop to their photos, the Desert Room features plants that thrive in arid desert climates. Exotic varieties of blooming cactus and succulents provide an impressive diversity to the surroundings here, and the setting provides an excellent background for some fun and quirky portrait options.

The Broderie Room is a charming setting filled with exquisite romance. Framed by glass and arranged in a style that evokes a classic Louis XIV-era French chateau, this setting provides an elegantly romantic backdrop, ideal for portraits or an intimate wedding ceremony.

How can we book you?
You will get both! I photograph every wedding using two different cameras -- one dedicated to black and white and the other to color. The ratio of black and white to color photos you receive in your gallery may change based on your chosen wedding colors, venue, and/or preference. If you see a black and white image that you want in color, or vice versa, it is very likely that I will have it and can add it to your gallery.
I see mostly black and white Photos in your portfolio. will we get ANY photos in color?
