WEDDING - Jim + Nicole, Phipps Conservatory + Pittsburgh Zoo

What a way to kick off our 2024 wedding season! Jim & Nicole held their ceremony in the gorgeous botanical gardens of Phipp’s Conservatory, followed by a reception at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium. The flower petal toss when they walked up the aisle as husband & wife, allowing their guests to have an up close encounter with a fennec fox during cocktail hour, and cutting the cake in front of a 2-story aquarium with a shark swimming overhead…what an unforgettable way to start a marriage, congrats to Jim & Nicole!

Our first wedding of the 2023 Season had a gorgeous day with a gorgeous bride…well make that “couple”, as Alex was looking pretty spiffy in his suit too. Danielle was simply stunning and all kinds of sparkly in her dress, and the glittery reception decor was a perfect match…a true fairytale wedding with a princess & her prince!!

WEDDING - Josh & Evelyn - Lakeview Lodge, Treasure Lake DuBois PA

A classic elegance and the warmth of family & friends filled Josh & Evelyn's day =) Tears from the bride as she shared a First Look moment with her father. Tears from the Groom as his soon to be wife made her way down the aisle. And tears from family & Bridal Party at the end of the night, as everyone watched our Reception Screening slideshow, with photos recapping the wedding day!

WEDDINGS - Eric Laura - Treasure Lake, DuBois PA

From the waterfalls of North Carolina to the lakes of DuBois PA...Sam & I were back on our stomping ground for this weekend's wedding, about 30 seconds away from our Studio actually!  What a difference from one week to the next ;)

Eric & Laura are simply lovely...as clients, as friends, and most importantly, as husband & wife =) And their day matched them perfectly: simple, fun, elegant. There were pops of purple & green everywhere you looked, along with big blue skies and a shining sun when it called for rain =)  We couldn't help but have our bridal party dip their toes in the water and relax on the docks for some photos ;)

WEDDING WEEKENDS - Tim Katie - Pisgah Forest, North Carolina
WEDDING WEEKENDS - Tim Katie - Pisgah Forest, North Carolina

In December of 2013, Sam & I photographed a delightful Christmas-themed wedding, where we met a super fun bridesmaid named Katie & her date, Tim...they fell in love with our work, in their words "We loved at Tabby and Bryan Dempsey's wedding how ORGANIZED you were! And pictures at the reception! How special is it that everyone gets a sneak peak into what was captured just a few hours before?! We love how timely you are with everything. It's exactly what we need."  Just 9 days after Bryan & Tabby's wedding, Tim popped the question and we had a wedding contact form hit our inbox from Katie ;)

So this past weekend, we had an AMAZING weekend with Tim & Katie for an absolutely gorgeous North Carolina wedding! Friday a Rehearsal BBQ, Saturday a rustic barn Wedding, and their Newlywed Photo Shoot in front of a Waterfall Sunday...photographer's dream ;) Enjoy these stunning photos!!!

We officially kicked off our 2015 Wedding Season this weekend and what a gorgeous day it was...incredibly hot, like 90 degrees hot, but sunny & bright.  Much like most brides dream their wedding day will be =)  Besides the sunny skies, Tom & Heather had a wedding day filled with sparkle, lace, and ruffles...oh the ruffles...I mean just look at that stunning PINK dress! I'm still swooning over it ;)

Josh Megan Wedding Weekend - Gateway Lodge, Cooksburg PA

We are officially back into the swing of things here at Rachel Anne's Photography with our first wedding of the Spring Season and our very FIRST post on the new RA blog & website ;)

Josh & Megan invited us to photograph their entire Wedding Weekend, beginning with the Rehearsal Friday, then the Wedding on Saturday, and ending with, one of my favorites, a Newlywed Photo Shoot on Sunday!

It was a lovely weekend nestled in the woods of Cook Forrest at the Gateway Lodge. An intimate wedding with 50 or so of Josh & Megan's closest friends & family, with personal touches everywhere to be seen: blue satin stilettos, floral Etsy bridesmaid robes, baby's breath placed here & there, and even personalized matching Converse Sneakers for the bride & groom.

What a fabulous weekend to kick off our Wedding Season here at Rachel Anne's Photography!
