Chad & Abbey {Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer}

Pics By Chicks Photography, Beaver County Wedding Photographers, had an awesome time capturing Chad and Abbey’s wedding at Brush Creek Park. More information – including pricing – on our wedding photography can be found by clicking here.

Another beautiful May wedding has made it to the blog!

It was a bright, sunny and beautiful day for Chad & Abbey’s wedding celebration. It was a pleasure for us to shoot their ceremony at Brush Creek Park, which is an absolutely beautiful location!

Here is a small collection of their photos – just some of my favorites. We wish you all the best, Chad and Abbey!

I LOVE veils! Every bride should have a veil – EVERY BRIDE! 🙂 I love the softness the veil creates, and well, as a photographer there’s no better “prop” for the photos! Abbey’s veil was simple, yet elegant. Love the softness of the below photo.

Love the smile on Chad’s face as he begins to read his vows. I love little moments like this – you don’t realize it when it’s happening but when you capture it, it’s a moment you love to relive.

The new Mr. & Mrs. The arch is something that the family made and put together just for the ceremony – it was such a beautiful and personal touch.

Oh, now it’s time for bridal portraits!

Brush Creek is so beautiful – love the pond, little bridge and the trees all around the area. It’s the perfect location for a spring wedding! And in the fall – it’s even more gorgeous!

I always say to my clients – “Gotta get that mom & dad shot” – this is what I mean.

So warm and beautiful! Love these next few black and white photos.

Always like to capture these candid moments from the reception. I think this captures their personalities beautifully.

A few more details from the day. They wrote their vows on cute little notebooks, and instead of a unity candle they shared a glass of wine.

Throwback Boudoir Style {Pittsburgh Boudoir Photographer}

PLEASE NOTE:
All images shared with permission.

This lovely woman came to her session with many different outfits. This was the last in the long line of options I had, and as a photographer I love options. This last outfit was so inspiring – she put it on and immediately I knew which pieces of my jewelry collection I was going to put with it. Then it hit me – MY LACE GLOVES! I rarely use the beautiful gloves in my photo shoots but I thought it would look perfect.

As soon as she put them on, my mind was all in a tizzy as ideas were floating around in my head with posing. I stopped after about 30 photos and said I felt like this was a throwback to the 80s and we were channeling a modern day Madonna. I don’t know why – maybe it was the gloves or the stacked bracelets, maybe it was the looks she was giving me but WOW! I loved every minute of shooting this outfit. But, who am I kidding – I love every minute of every boudoir shoot.

Enjoy a few of these photos from just one part of her session – more is to come so stay tuned!

Shelly & Seth {Pittsburgh Wedding & Engagement Photographer}

This was Shelly & Seth’s second engagement session with us. You can see photos from their first session at Mellon Park by clicking here.

At the clothing change during their session in October, Shelly realized she forgot her heels, which she wanted to wear with her second outfit. We continued with the session in spite of the shoe issue but then it started to rain. We decided to go out for another session once they moved back to the Pittsburgh area.

They will be married at Hartwood Acres in August, so I thought it would be cool to do their quick second engagement session there as well. I adore photographing at Hartwood Acres – the mansion & grounds are just beautiful.

We had such a great time with them – I am looking forward to their wedding more than you know!

Enjoy these few photos from engagement session #2.

They are just so cute together!

He LOVES her! I mean, WOW! Seth just impresses me so much with the way he wants to hold her, touch her and kiss her! I loved capturing the love between these two!

Love how he makes her laugh! There’s never a shortage of smiles between these two.

Can’t wait for August!

Elyse & Chad {Pittsburgh Maternity Photographer}

You’ve seen Elyse a few times on my blog – she’s one of my muses, and the uber talented makeup artist at The Brush – Mobile Hair & Makeup Artistry.

Elyse & Chad are expecting baby Cooper in just a few short weeks! We went out last month for their maternity session and it was amazing. I always have fun with Elyse and this photo shoot was no exception. It has been a joy to get to know Elyse and watch her business grow. She’s got a personality that you are instantly attracted to, and she welcomes you into her life with open arms. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her and her growing family. I jokingly say to her that I feel bad for whoever Cooper marries because that person will never be able to love him as much as she loves him!

The fun will continue for us – if everything works out with scheduling, I will be photographing Cooper’s birth! Yay! We’re both so excited to capture the birth in beautiful candid photos.

Of course, Elyse’s makeup was top notch! 🙂

Oh, that belly!

Love the way he makes her smile.

Anniversary Boudoir {Pittsburgh Boudoir Photographer}

Please note:

All images shared with permission.

I don’t know where to begin when I talk about this session. This lovely lady was a referral from my photography mentor, Heather Lahtinen (WeddingsByHeather.com). I have been honored, humbled, blessed and proud that my mentor refers people to me – wow! That says a lot about how far I’ve come in my boudoir journey.

I had such a great time shooting this boudoir. We were full of laughs the entire day and had such a awesome time getting to know each other. It was so much fun picking & choosing outfits – and she came with some KILLER stuff! I was so inspired by her that it was hard for me to stop taking photos! 🙂

One of the things I’ve been experimenting with lately is a modest boudoir. She brought a white tank top and I was all over that. I loved the way something simple looks so sexy! Take a look at the photos below and you will see what I mean. White tank top + lovely panties = 100% sexy! 🙂 I loved it so much that I even went out and bought a supply of tank tops to have on hand for other clients.

Truth be told – I’ve gotten a few thank you emails from her. ” I can’t thank you enough for the amazing job that you did on my pictures, they are absolutely beautiful!!!! I can’t wait to see my husband’s reaction to them, he’s going to LOVE them!!!!! Most of all, thank you for making me feel so beautiful, you have boosted my self confidence which is exactly what I needed at this point in my life! You’re AMAZING!!!!”

I walked around with a smile on my face all day and a few tears in my eyes.

I got the most lovely email once her husband received these photos as his anniversary gift. She said to me, “I have to say THANK YOU one more time for the awesome pictures that you took and the amazing experience that you gave me!! My husband was completely shocked and speechless!!! The entire evening at dinner and was just speechless, smiling, and thanking me over and over again! He said that was THE BEST gift that he’s EVER gotten!!! THANK YOU!!!!!”

Look at all those exclamation points! 🙂 I was grinning from ear to ear for a few days after this email. I’m SOOO happy and thankful I was able to give her this amazing experience, let alone amazing images! Let me give you this experience too – it’s simply the the best!

MANY MANY thanks to my client for letting me share some of her images. She’s been such an inspiration to me, and I’ve loved every minute of getting to know her. Isn’t she beautiful?!?
