On August 8, Natalie and Steve said “I do” at beautiful Grand Vue Park in Moundsville, West Virginia.

From their heartfelt, personally written vows to the quiet moments they shared throughout the day, their wedding was filled with love, laughter and genuine emotion.

Their wedding film closes with the beautiful song their pianist played during the ceremony, a perfect final note to a truly unforgettable day.

Thank you both for allowing me to capture such a special day!

Congratulations, Natalie & Steve!

I stumbled on this article from earlier this year and found it interesting because this wasn't a wedding-specific website, but rather the LA Times and it's titled "The Top Wedding Day Regrets."

At the top of that list: Not Hiring a Videographer

Don't let this be your regret as well! I have weekends open as early as this upcoming September.

I forgot to share a post about this site I designed that went live a few months ago. This web redesign was for in Pittsburgh.

This was a revamp with a deeper focus on search engine optimization while still retaining the ability for their team to update and manage their website on their own.

This website contains a lot of content, including overviews, BTS and examples of their work.

I was only able to make it out to day 1 of the Heritage Music BluesFest and it was my first time attending the festival but my gosh what a festival it was! I was blown away at the entire setup that I got to see and know that festival HAD to of been a lot of hard work to pull that off. Just mind blowing!

Anyways, here's the top 80 photos (FB limits at 80) I captured on day 1:

Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day for a wedding! I met and talked with both Steve and Natalie a few times before their wedding (actually realizing I photographed their dog at a studio I worked at before as well). Two great people that I hope nothing but the best!

These are a few screenshots of their future wedding film. Thanks again to Steve and Natalie for allowing me to capture such a special day in their lives!
