Julie and Hannah committed their lives to one another in an emotional, intimate ceremony and reception held at James Gallery in the West End of Pittsburgh. Here are some of my faves from the evening:
Julie wanted an urban feel to their couple portraits, so we took advantage of some the glorious dilapidated backgrounds the West End offers:
loved Julie's dress
One of my faves:
Another fave:
Another fave. I love the softness of Julie's shoulder plus the intensity of Hannah's gaze. Captivating.
Some of their friends performed to Michael Jackson's Thriller, and I have to say, it was the best tribute I've ever (personally) seen. They were amazing!
Julie and Hannah- your love is an inspiration. Thank you for having Joanne and me along to photograph your commitment to sharing a lifetime of it together.
