Adam and Lindsey’s Wedding, April 2011

Tom — Wed, 25 May 2011 03:13:37 +0000

Erin and I were blessed to be a part of Adam and Lindsey’s incredible wedding weekend extravaganza in Cook Forest, PA. It’s one thing to photograph a wedding, it’s a completely different experience to photograph an entire weekend destination wedding in one of the most beautiful corners of Pennsylvania. It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of it. Adam and Lindsey are an amazing couple and if you’re in the Pittsburgh area I encourage you to get to know them by stopping by the Acoustic Moose Cafe in Bellevue (their cafe and my second office!).

Beautiful setting + Beautiful people = one of the most beautiful weddings we’ve ever been a part of.

Here’s a sampling of the gallery.

Veterans’ Day Service, National Cemetery of the Alleghenies, 11 November 2010

I had the pleasure of shooting the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies’ Veterans’ Day Service last week. This sacred space, located just south of Pittsburgh, is especially important to me not only because of the patriots who rest here, but because my own grandfather was buried in this cemetery. It was an absolutely beautiful day and a fantastic service. Congratulations to my friend and colleague Jon Meier for putting together such a reverent and special service honoring all who have sacrificially served our nation.

Alright, Pittsburgh…it’s time to be heard!

Improve the Vue

I enjoy photographing pretty much anything, but there’s nothing like photographing people voluntarily working to improve their community. Hundreds came out to Bellevue’s “Improve the Vue.” Sadly I was only able to stick around for a few hours, but here’s a sample of the shots I was able to capture in the little bit of time I was able to be there.

Long Time No Posts

I realize how long it’s been since I last posted some new Pittsburgh-related images, but I wanted to let it be known that the lack of posts has not been due to lack of work. I have a number of projects I’ve been working on (some FOTP related, some from my “real jobs”..yes, I said jobs).

Nevertheless, here’s a little sample of one of the photographic projects I’ve been working on. Enjoy!

Let’s Go Bucs!

I am a baseball fan. I love the game. However, I’m an even greater Pirate fan! Don’t get me wrong, I can get into a ball game regardless of who’s playing, but nothing is more enjoyable to me than sitting at PNC Park watching our very own Pittsburgh Pirates take the field. And nothing beats Opening Day! The sudden change in the weather here in Pittsburgh has me really looking forward to April 5th, the annual start to my frequent afternoons/evenings at the ballpark. In honor of the coming season and hope that 2010 is the year we’ve all been waiting for here’s a few photographs from last season at PNC Park.

Haiti Relief Art Show/Concert

I’m lucky enough to have been invited to display some work at this amazing event being put together by the folks at Emmanuel Christian Church in the Brighton Heights community of Pittsburgh. Between the art, music, and food that are being offered, this should be a fantastic evening and to support a great cause.
