Maggie and Jason…a lovely couple from two warm, loving and lovely families, gathered with hundreds of lovely friends, on a lovely special day. They had a lovely ceremony and one of THE most fun celebrations I’ve seen this year! Who could ask for anything more..lots of smiles, love, warm and wonderful people and FUN, which translates into many, many, MANY beautiful images! In fact, so many images that this little slide show doesn’t even do the many fun and beautiful images “justice,” but I hope you’ll enjoy it anyway - I know I did! Here’s a sneak peek at a few in their slide show - ENJOY!

I had a great time photographing last month with some good friends: photographer Kimberly Reed, deejay Jeremy Ganss and his lovely wife, Heather Wingard-Ganss during a Trash The Dress shoot where Jeremy and Heather were the models! We had a blast and Jeremy and Heather were perfect models! It’s obvious why they got married; they are simply crazy about one another!

I believe Kimberly Reed has been the industry leader in the TTD trend here in Pittsburgh, and she does it fabulously with her fashionable talents as a photographer and her warm, engaging and fun-loving personality. It was truly a delight to spend the day with Kim, Jeremy and Heather. Ahhhhhhhhhh, we ought to take more field trips and relax like this more often…! This was my first TTD shoot - don’t forget to comment on it to let me know if I did an “okay” job…LOL!

Enjoy a few photos from the session:
