modern pittsburgh photography

this is one of scarlett’s favorites.  she says jenn looks like the little mermaid.

so i decided to start the post with jenn as the little mermaid.  -tif

:) yeah she kinda does look like a mermaid, but that’s okay i think ;) – jonathan

…now back to the non- cartoon inspired photos.

after a long night at the reception, jenn and cecar woke up at 6am, so we could shoot at sunrise!-tif

hey i woke up at 6am too? where is my shout out ;) – jonathan

the water in the bahamas had this amazing teal green color to  it!- jonathan

after the sun was up, we all moved over to the “prop bar” aptly named.

there was a plain sticking out of the other side.

but this side was warm and sunny yellow.  -tif

i like propellers.- jonathan

lovin the laughter and good times we had with you while getting wet and sandy- jonathan

this was the first time jenn and cesar actually got into the water,

i’m not saying it was warm, but it could have been alot worse.  -tif

I love that your wearing white Cesar, and your soaked!- jonathan

once jenn and cesar were thoroughly soaked, we decided to go swimming.

we brought along a 35mm underwater camera just for fun, and had no idea how these would turn out.  -tif

this shot was given to us by jenn’s dad jeff and his wife bonnie, thanks guys!  -tif

my bottom is wet, try not to look at it – jonathan

…and you have sandy ankles.  -tif

you looked at my bottom, i just know it :( – jonathan

how amazing was it of jen and cecar to jump in the water and

just generally ruin their wedding clothes because we asked them to!

PS. please noticed in the above picture i have a hoodie on.

it wasnt all that warm out

which further shows how awesome those two were to get soaked at 6am!- jonathan

i can’t say shooting with film is easy.  I’m so used to the instant gratification and shot confirmation of digital.

…not to mention, i had no clue as to what i was shooting.  :)-tif

every time i saw i coconut tree i kept thinking to myself.

“i wonder how bad it would hurt if a coconut falls on your head, and how often does that happen?”  -jonathan

I’ve heard that 150 people die every year from coconuts, but with further investigation i found..

it’s estimated that over a four-year period five deaths in his hospital’s service area were related to coconut palm trees

(including climbers falling out of them).  -tif

you two and your entire family are awesome!

thanks for letting us have our way with you in your wedding attire. – jon & tif

as with many wedding blog posts, i just don’t know where to begin talking about this amazing couple.

I could start off by saying that they both look like models,

or maybe i’ll just start by saying that dan and jesenia

have devoted there lives to those living in the garbage dumps of Nicaragua.

people don’t get much more amazing than this. – jonathan

sweet shoe shot tiff! i’m diggin’ the soft colors- jonathan

Hola Wifey!

if you didn’t guess by now, jesenia speaks spanish.

I loved listening to her and her friends talk. I just had no idea what they were saying- jonathan

i’m sure this is good for the toilet seets?- jonathan

i think these were the strangest shoes i have ever seen.

i’m not sure jesenia knew i was taking her picture while she was in the stall but i’m opportunistic.  -tif

ummm.. gross. but i do have to admit they were some great flip flops- jonathan

this was the biggest veils we have ever photographed.

we had a lot of fun with it on the “day after” shoot- jonathan

this was also the first time we have ever shot a wedding that had translator for the bride.

good times :) – jonathan

i love candy at weddings, especially if they’re mints!

i was so surprised, i thought these were m&m’s, which i’m not too fond of.

but mini york pep. patties, i’m in heaven.  -tif

nice ring shot tiff! – jonathan

we love the strip in pittsburgh. so, we took daniel and jesenia out on this super windy day.

being from Nicaragua, jesenia handled it pretty well.

…sorry again we didn’t have any snow, i know you were looking forward to it. -tif

it was crazy windy that day. It wasn’t all that cold. but the wind just bit pretty hard.

we left the car running the seats heated and heater blowing full force

so that in between locations she could thaw out- jonathan

haha  i love it!

and my butt crack isn’t even showing.  just my undaroos.- jonathan

i don’t remember who took this shot, but i like it!

you two made the shoot.  you had so much fun.

all we had to do is point and shoot – jonathan

daniel was so patient with us too.

in between shots jesenia would warm up in the car

and he would just stand there so we could set thing up.

i love the colors here.  -tif

absolutley stinkin’ adorable.

and that’s about all i can say about that- jonathan

you two are awesome.

i think this is one of my favorites from the day- jonathan

although i am quite fond of this pic also.

she used one of these vines to “choke” him later on.

it was hilarious!

we couldn’t blog it :( to many pics already. – jonathan

ha ha, both views of the same shot.

I had to move the one up in the blog, for some reason you had it so far away.  -tif

that’s because blogging is the most tedious time consuming annoying thing.

seriously!  i think we are doing it wrong. it shouldn’t be this hard.

Whomever designed wordpress must have never used a mac. the interface screams PC- jonathan

this is one of my favorite shots of yours tiff.- jonathan

these guys have so much personality,

they were so fun to work with, even with a slight language barrier.  -tif

surprise!  i was shooting the couple from the other side of the train

and jesenia turned around to find jonathan scaling a wall behind her.

priceless face.  -tif

i was just going to post the bottom picture of this set,

but i was afraid it would kinda look morbid,

kinda like she was dead.

so i threw in the top two to let you all know she was having great fun! – jonathan

tough guys don’t look at explosions. – jonathan

alright, i will give you props on the photoshop skills in the above one jonathan, it’s hilarious.  -tif

haha! if you saw it in full size,

you would see that my photo shop skills are that of a 6 year old girl- jonathan

very sweet shot tiff.  i love the fact that you just have to look at it for a few seconds to really see it- jonathan

while we were shooting this, a random guy shouted from the wendy’s parking lot

“are you guys models?”

dang right, you two made this shoot so easy.

your both ridiculously beautiful, and so much fun-tif

good job on your first blog jonathan.  -tif

what…  first blog?! not!

i have blogged before and i will blog again.

i just think wordpress is kinda antiquated.

good thing we got the awesome and super talented
