Erika & Kenneth's Longue Vue Club Wedding

Erika & KJ are surrounded by so much love in their lives. The way KJ takes care of Erika is such a beautiful picture of the gentleman he will continue as their marriage strengthens and deepens with time. I think one of the most beautiful assets to a relationship is the ability to light up the world and that is Erika. She radiates light and joy. Their people are their people and there’s nothing better than your own personal hype squad. Seeing their gentle spirits vow to one another for a lifetime, was incredibly beautiful to not only be a part of to witness but to document. Their beautiful day began the same way it ended, surrounded by those they love the most, settled in at Longue Vue Club, a stunning, European inspired wedding venue just east of downtown Pittsburgh. The old-world stone architecture is surrounded by breathtaking views of the golf course with rolling hills and picturesque views, overlooking the city of bridges. We snuck up to the infamous tree at the top of the course and took in every last bit of daylight as the golden sky began to settle. We took the long way back to the club before E&K danced the night away with their people.

Jordan & George

Over the weekend Jordan & George celebrated their one year anniversary and the perfect reason to share photos from their beautiful summer wedding at Oakmont Country Club. The emerald green bridesmaids dresses complimented by the blush free-flowing blooms from Mt. Lebanon Floral were just one of my favorite details of the day… and let me tell you, not a detail was missed. I loved photographing this beautiful day and it wouldn’t have been the same without the incredible team of vendors who made J&G’s dream wedding a reality. Happy first anniversary you two!!<3

Rachel & Kylan, Hartwood Acres Engagement

Abbie_Tyler_Photography_(188_of_259).jpg

When I first met Rachel and her mother at our consultation, I knew immediately how much I loved her and her family. I’d followed her on Instagram thereafter and realized we have so much in common. Rachel bakes homemade pies and pasta regularly (I just wish I did this) and loves Gal Meets Glam. Just a few of my fav things to be honest. I’d anticipated meeting Kylan at their engagement session, just knowing how much Rachel and I could commonly share and knowing how much she loved him only to realize Kylan and I basically grew up down the street from one another and it’s likely his dad handed me my diploma when I graduated. Kylan is currently in med school and is equally dedicated to his school and career as he is his relationship with Rachel and watching someone put 100% into each is just so admirable.

It’s funny how God works like that, bringing people into our lives that we can so easily share common ground and relate with. And to be welcomed in to such a beautiful season of their lives is such a beautiful gift. Rachel and Kylan’s love for one another seeps out of their pores and lights them up from the inside out. The love and laughs they shared at the engagement session is just a little taste of the joy their wedding day will be this coming March and I’m so so honored and thrilled to document their best day ever!

Enjoy their beautiful, light filled, summer engagement session at Hartwood Acres (a place special to them) below!<3

Heidi & Tom. Wow. I don’t even know where to begin with these two. They’re incredibly unique - in the best way possible! Their individual personalities draw so many friends and family to the depth of their souls - and together they’re dynamite. Witnessing Heidi & Tom bring together their friends & family to celebrate their marriage was an incredible blessing. They had running jokes up until the wedding day and the wedding was a continuous celebration of their love, joy and laughter. Something I know that will carry through a lifetime together.

Heidi & I go way back… we used to lifeguard together when I was 15…. and for the next 6 or so summers, we would celebrate our summer birthdays together. Crazy how God works like that. Bringing things full circle. Watching someone like Heidi, who I’ve known for so long, find her soulmate is just a gift in itself. And documenting her and Tom’s wedding was a day long heart explosion. I’m so excited to share their wedding story through the photographs I’ve created. And don’t miss out on the best part of the celebration at the very end…. glow sticks and all!

Hannah, Alex & baby S

Hannah & Alex are two of the most light-hearted souls and I could not be more excited for the two of them as they prepare to welcome their baby boy into the world at the beginning of May!

H&A also have hearts of gold and met white serving as EMT’s (I know this bc I had the honor of second shooting their wedding, cue all of the tears). Alex is in grad school and I’d never be able to tell you in a million years what it’s for because its way over my head. The footprint they’ve laid down for the son, is a big one to fill, but I have without a doubt, he’ll shine bright, just like his parents do!<3 I can’t wait to meet you little one!

Hannah’s incredible hair and makeup by the ever-so-lovely and talented See Jane Blush!
