MARRIED {Jessica + Lealon} | Southpointe Golf Club Wedding
May 18, 2011 by Heather · 2 Comments
Over the weekend we photographed our first Pittsburgh wedding at Southpointe Golf Club. It was a gorgeous club in a beautiful location and Jessi and Lee are such a fun couple. Add to all that a ton of sunshine and we had the perfect day! It was pretty incredible how the rain stopped just in time for the outdoor ceremony and resumed right around dinner. It couldn’t have gone any better if planned. We met Jessi and Lee at Brett and Anna’s wedding last summer, its always nice to see familiar faces at a wedding 
A few notes about this wedding before I get on with the photos: I absolutely LOVED the men’s grey tuxedos — they just looked so fashionable and handsome! And Jessi’s dress? Totally gorgeous! I loved that it was ivory and that the look of the dress carried over to the wedding cake. I also love that they did a first look — it gave us SO much time to get a ton of great portraits. Their day was seriously a photographer’s dream!
J&L: thank you so much for having us be there to document your day. We had such a wonderful time and you two are a perfect couple, surrounded by tons of great people. We hope you have a fantastic honeymoon in Mexico and we can’t wait to show you the rest of the images!! <3 H&M
Family Portraits | Chautauqua Family Photography

I recently had the fun task of capturing an adorable young family’s portraits. It was an extra special session because Amanda was a roommate of mine in college, and prior to that we battled it out on the volleyball and basketball courts throughout high school I met her husband Chris in college as well so it was wonderful getting to hang out with these guys after not seeing them for a while!
Their little man Ayden is so cute and wasn’t the least bit camera shy { way to train him, dad! } It was so great seeing Chris and Amanda’s new home and just seeing how well they are doing, I’m so happy for them! <3
Fill in the Blank Friday

1. Fridays are usually my day off. I prep for weddings and accomplish things that I don’t have time to do the rest of the week.
2. Newborn portrait sessions make me terribly happy. They are my absolute favorite subjects!
3. Something that inspires me are books that encourage me to think big and accomplish my goals.
4. If I had the day off today I would go shopping. I need some new clothes.
5. If I had to put a label on my home decor style, I would say my style is evolving. Now that I spend more time at home I’m thinking more about decor, furniture, paint, etc.
6. Concerning politics I would say my views are kind of up the middle. I think both sides make valid points but both definitely have their issues as well.
7. I’d like to go somewhere warm so I could escape this crappy weather, its seriously bumming me out. I’m ready to sit out on my patio in the sun. Ugh, talking about the weather is so passe at this point but really???
Okay check back soon for a new family session post that’s been waiting for me to hit submit on for a couple of weeks…
