modern pittsburgh photography

first of all yea for the center for the arts!

jon and talia had an amazing wedding filled with bright yellows and fun times.

remember their e-shoot ?

All those sweet murals were painted by their wedding planner, no joke.

that’s just how cool these guys are.  -tif

i love the bathrooms here!  -tif

ha, this is the complete opposite of a first look,

it’s a first don’t look :)  -tif

i don’t always notice things like flowers and such, i’m learning,

but this wedding had some great flowers.- jonathan

these balloons were so fun,

they could have actually let go and the weight of the ribbons would hold them down.

plus, jon looks like he is going to the circus.  -tif

love the shot tiff! – jonathan

inside the center for the arts we got to play in front of the movie screen for a while,

and since jon is obsessed with film

i thought it pretty appropriate.  -tif

love this one  -tif

tiff you are________! ;)

sorry.  i’m not sure what to say to this one.- jonathan

the DJ was killer. he was definitely not the standard wedding DJ. – jonathan

talia told me he wasn’t a wedding dj at all.

She actually sent me a list of the killer songs that

she and jon picked out for the wedding.
in case you were wondering…
