Pittsburgh Wedding and Lifestyle Photography by Joanne Bartone Photographer

up and running again!

ALL FIXED! Jeremy, Heather...you can go back to watching again! LOL! ;-) -- 2 HOURS PREVIOUS: having technical difficulties...please stand by! It appears as if my host/server is down - I'm not able to send/receive email at my joanne@joannebartone.com email address AND all of the slide shows that are loaded into the back-end of my site are not visible. ...can you hear me pulling my hair out?! Oy vei... Sorry for the frustration and inconvenience and that you may not be able to see any images or slide shows right now. I'm working with my team to get this fixed as soon as possible! I'm going to blame this on Jeremy and Heather Ganss - they probably burned out my server looking at the slide show over, and over, and over....JUST KIDDING!!!! :-) I'll keep you all posted. BIG love, Joanne Bartone, Photographer

Jeremy and Heather Ganss Wedding!

This past Saturday, July 5th Jeremy Ganss, DJ extraordinaire and his beautiful fiance, Heather Wingard, married in an intimate ceremony surrounded by their loving family and closest friends in a beautiful outdoor setting! It was my honor to attend as a guest, but as I mentioned in my previous blog, how could I not take my camera?!!! I couldn't; I did! And Ryan Sigesmund, the talented photographer and friend of Jeremy and Heather's, who was actually hired by them to photograph was gracious enough to allow me to, well, kind of "second-shoot" with him. Actually, as a friend of Jeremy and Heather's, and as professional photographer I just HAD to photo them! For me, it was simply impossible not to. Heather, you were simply stunning and Jeremy, as dashing as could be! It was a beautiful day and it REALLY was an honor for me to be your guest and enjoy your beautiful love - CONGRATULATIONS! I love you both and am thrilled for you! So, here is a slide show of some of the many wonderful images I created for Jeremy and Heather from throughout their day...ENJOY! BIG love, Joanne Bartone, Photographer

I had a great time being part of Heather and Jeremy's fantastic wedding! These pictures are beautiful! My daughters and their friends didn't want to stop looking at them - Heather looks like a princess and Jeremy isn't one bad looking prince! We had a wonderful day and these pictures will bring back great memories in the years to come!

Jeremy Ganss, DJ extraordinaire!

Saturday, July 5th, 2008 will be my good friend and colleague Jeremy Ganss (DJ extraordinaire) and his lovely, sweet and special fiance, Heather's wedding! And, I couldn't be more excited for them! They are a perfect match for one another; both sweet, kind, talented and wonderful people and I have the honor of being a guest with them tomorrow as they celebrate and ENJOY one another on their big day! ...news flash...I'm bringing my camera even though I'll be a guest for a change! I can't just show up at a wedding without a CAMERA, right?! I would be like a fish out of water if I did! I'll post some photos from their celebration next week. I first met Jeremy at one of my October 2006 weddings, Heather and Chris S., and was immediately struck by Jeremy's talent and wonderful personality! I found him to be a great guy AND a top-notch DJ and that combination can sometimes run few-and-far-between, as the saying goes. But Jeremy had it all; elegance, class, talent, a great personality, good mojo - and the list goes on - and he was relatively new to the wedding business at that time, so I made it my mission from that point on to promote his services exclusively! I will forever talk him up - he is worth every penny anyone might ever consider paying for his services. This young man rocked the house and had people dancing constantly and all night, and I mean the floor was packed! Then, I had the honor of meeting Heather, Jeremy's fiance and wife-to-be at a photographer's picnic I held last year. I specifically made sure to invite Jeremy and Heather so I could promote Jeremy's DJ services to all the other photographers in the city and I'm happy to say he is a busy man. If you want him to DJ your wedding, you had better book him quickly because he is booking two years in advance. Anyway...these two are so SWEET! I absolutely love them and can't imagine anyone who wouldn't! Heather hand-makes Jewelry that is so very lovely - I should know - I have had the honor of being gifted two sets of Heather's earing designs, and I just love them! I think her work would be perfect for wedding party gifts as she does male and female designs. And wouldn't it be great to get such a personal hand-made gift from the couple? The answer is "yes!" So, tomorrow I'll be drinking a toast to Jeremy and Heather; may they be as happy always as they are sure to be tomorrow! BIG love to both of you, Joanne Bartone, Photographer

Traci and Tom's Wedding!

All these years in my career, and the pressure was FINALLY "on!" Traci is a good friend from Art School; a fellow photographer who is an absolute sweetheart with a smile so bright, a laugh so real, eyes that sing, dancing abilities like you've never seen and a heart of gold! And who did she marry? None other than Tom, another artist and a great guy with all the same qualities! They are a match made in heaven, that Muffett and Boris! But I'll tell you, because of Traci and Tom's artistic bent, I really wanted to create images for them that were real, like their personalities, but images that also portrayed their love for one another in a contemporary way - I think I've "done good," as the saying goes! I have a TON of beautiful and emotional images from the day that I believe depict all the happiness, love and splendor shared between two people surrounded by an intimate group of family and friends! The ceremony was held at Traci's father and step-mother's home in Gibsonia; a beautiful setting where the day was perfect, well, until that storm whipped up later that evening! Never-no-mind! Nothing dampened anyones smiles or spirits and the party lasted well into the night... I can't even begin to express my gratitude, delight and honor to participate in such a special day for such a special friend and her wonderful husband and family! Thank you so much for having me with you and for trusting me to create and capture your memories for you. Enjoy the show! BIG love, Joanne Bartone, Photographer

Traci Waters says:

Joanne, Joanne, Joanne, WOW, not only are you a fabulous photographer, but a magician as well!! You did an excellent job hiding my least favorite flaws! You hid my chin(s) oh so well, that's priceless!! We love all the pictures! I am so glad I was able to reconnect with you, and that you were able to shoot our wedding. Tom and I have both always complained that we don't photograph well, but you took so many pictures that we really love of eachother! Thank you so much for everything! I was so glad you were able to stay after all your hard work was done and catch up with us, we really had a great time laughing with you! We look forward to seeing the rest of the photos! Take care, talk to you soon! Love, Mr. and Mrs. Waters
