Jade + Brian | weddings

Jade and Brian are my second couple this year who are living in Texas but came back to Pennsylvania to get married.  Their ceremony took place at St. Benedict’s Church in Carrolltown and their reception was held at one of Jade’s family member’s farm in Loretto.

While several of my brides have carried rosary beads on their wedding day, this was the first time that I’ve seen it as a rosary bracelet.

I love when heirloom jewelry is included – this ring was attached to Jade’s bouquet:

Isn’t this beautiful how the candlelight is illuminating their hands?

Jade is just a stunning bride…

I was at the opposite side of the dance floor when spying the flower girls watching intently while the newlyweds shared their first dance; I moved behind the two girls to capture this photo with them looking on.

I love this detail photo that was taken while the best man was making his toast.

It sprinkled off and on throughout the day, but it always seemed to stop at the points when it would have been inconvenient for Jade and Brian to do all that they wanted…of course, one of the pluses that sometimes occur as a result of rain happened as I was driving back to Pittsburgh that evening – we were getting a beautiful and colorful sunset and I spotted a rainbow, so I pulled off to the side of the road to take a photo or two.

Wow!! You are truly an artist!! We love how you captured Jade and Brian’s special day. Of course, our favorite picture is the one of our two littlest girls watching intently as Brian and Jade share their first dance! We cannot wait to see the rest!!

Andrea, The pictures are absolutely stunning! You are such a creative artist. Jade and Brain should be models. We can’t wait to see the rest of the photos.

Andrea, we just LOVE the photos. It was such a pleasure working with you. I am so glad you were able to catch all of the details as well. My aunt Julie gave me that bracelet the day before the wedding, and it just worked perfectly. My aunt Peggy had bought us our unity candle, so it’s nice having a good photo of that too. Thank you for everything. We can’t wait to see the rest!
