Hi! I’m Ashley of Ashley Sara Photography! I'm a luxury wedding photographer based in Pittsburgh, but I capture love stories all over the globe! I've been to Germany, Italy, Bahama's, Mexico and countless states in the US, all because two people fell in love with each other, and then with my work. My significant other offers videography and we both are familiar with Super 8 and film so together, we offer everything you could need!

Ashley Sara Photo is hands down the best choice you will ever make! She is not only the most incredibly talented photographer, but also the kindest soul. You will be in awe of her skills and want to be best friends with her all at the same time. She made our wedding day 1000x better and we had the best time exploring our venue with her while capturing the most beautiful memories. I look at my wedding pictures at least once per day because they are just that good. I am someone who hates photos of myself and does not enjoy being in front of a camera, and she somehow managed to give me literally hundreds of beautiful photos that I adore. She’s also a pretty awesome hype woman and will give you plenty of confidence boosts. We already have 1 year anniversary pictures scheduled with her and plan to use her for every other occasion we can because who doesn’t need more beautiful photos they love!? To sum this up, just hire her. I promise you will not regret it :)

It's YOUR friggin' wedding and I promise you tons of laughs, creativity, and killer photos. I love working with people and find inspiration in REAL life couples. We have fun, we get silly... hell, we even get a little weird if you're into it (safe word is, "Camera Shy") 😳. At the same time I obsess over crafting exceptional and authentic images. So whether you're some groovy hip kids or a couple of squares, let's go make some art together. I’ll put in the blood, sweat, and tears… you just show up. By the end of your wedding day, we will be best friends. I believe so much in marriage and weddings and truly enjoy being a part of them.

Our wedding photos turned out so lovely and vibrant! They were so great to work with!

I want to capture your essence. People are often nervous when you begin to photograph them, but I have no expectations for you- aside for you to simply be your authentic self! I want to capture your silly, your tender, your sweet, your love. I’ll guide you and your loved one to interact in natural, timeless ways to create art that will have the honor of living in your home and being a part of your family for generations to come. I don't create for the now- I create for the forever.

We hired Anne has our part of our wedding day vendor dream team, and I am so, so thankful that we did. It was one of the best decisions we made. Anne is an incredible photographer. Her work is dreamy & ethereal, yet perfectly captures the essence of her subjects. Her work is also versatile - her candids and styled shots are both fabulous. Anne worked with us on engagement photos, so we had the chance to get a sense of her style and personality, and it was love at first photo. She is so warm and effervescent that we immediately felt at ease. Both my husband and I aren't super comfortable in front of the camera, but Anne's encouragement made the photoshoot fun. She even brought treats for our pup, which endeared him immediately. The engagement photos were incredibly and perfectly captured our romantic garden party vibe and our connection as a couple. Leading up to our wedding, Anne worked closely with our planner to make sure that our timeline, photo locations, and shot list were in perfect order. She worked tirelessly to create a rain plan that eased my panic when we couldn't take photos inside the hotel. On day of, Anne & her assistant arrived promptly at our bridal suite and quickly got to work doing flat lays, detail shots, etc. before moving seamlessly into first look and group shots. Her sense of humor kept our group laughing and made sure the groom didn't get tired of photos. She even helped carry my shoes and got my husband water when he lost his voice. It was like having a close friend at our wedding to cheer us on. Of course, the photos were incredible! Our preview was full of gems, I can't choose my favorite one. I can't imagine having to pick for the full album! She captured our love for each other and made sure we had a good time the whole day. tl;dr Hire Anne because she is very talented photographer and her team is fabulous, and also hire Anne because she is an amazing person. She will make your wedding day even dreamier.

The space is sizable but still has has a nice intimate and warm feel and they were actively distilling during our ceremony/reception, which was cool to see. The bartenders are kind and talented and all the craft liquors (which are made on site) are top notch. No bottom shelf here. Excited to visit and try the rum created during our vows!

I photograph I do's in PGH & love it - I'm unapologetically unfancy w/ always messy hair 😆 My favorite moment of a wedding day is when the new Mr. and Mrs. are announced into the reception because of the anticipation right before the doors are opened, the cheering of friends and family, and the happiness on the face of the couple.

Kristen is absolutely amazing! She is so easy to work with! She gave us an amazing outline of the day, she took so many amazing poses and different shots, and she took every idea I had and made they work great! I am so happy that Kristen was part of our special day!

Do you know what I love the most about my job? People. The people that I photograph. The people that I get to know. Their lives, and the story that has helped to shape them. There are never two stories that are the same. Life is beautiful that way. I began my journey as a photographer happenstance- I took some photography college credits because I loved the art, and wanted to fulfill a degree in it. Photography helped me to outwardly express the visions that I dreamed of, the visions that I couldn’t express into words.

Not only as a wedding and event planner but as a client, we have worked numerous times with Lavender Leigh! Leigh is so easy to work with, sweet, kind and overall just amazing at what she does! The natural light she looks for always is classic and timeliness and her pictures are stunning. I, Ali, had a boudoir done with Leigh for my husband as a gift for our first anniversary. I was nervous and overall never super confident about my body. Leigh made my boudoir session not only turn out beautiful but she helped me love my body and enjoy the process and the session. It was a wonderful experience and I am SO glad I did it! I will cherish the photos forever. Leigh is organized and timely. She is professional yet friendly and personable. Barry is so much fun and the guys of the weddings always have a good time with him! These two are a wonderful pair and are so good at what they do! We cannot recommend them enough.

Gary from Great Day Entertainment was an amazing addition to our team of vendors for our wedding. He was professional, on time, and a great assistance in keeping things moving through the evening. He was able to handle any issues that arose to make sure we had a great evening, from our outdoor ceremony that ended up going completely off script to keeping the dance floor full until the end of the night. If you’re looking for a great, experienced DJ to get the job done you will not be disappointed.

Pastries A-La Carte is featured through many local establishments such as: Aramark (in association with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Pirates), The Georgetown Centre, LeMont, George Washington Hotel, and more.

Pastries A-La-Carte created a beautiful cake for our wedding day! Communication with them was easy and smooth throughout the planning process. We ordered both a gluten-free sheet cake and a sweetheart cake. The sheet cake was a hit - even our gluten-free guests raved about how moist and delicious it was! Our sweetheart cake was so tasty too. We did have a small hiccup when I picked up the cake - it was in a different system. But they brought the cake out and everything was fine. Despite that little scare, our cake looked and tasted perfect on the big day. The whole cake was beautifully decorated and added a lovely, sweet touch to our wedding. We were so pleased with their work and prices. I would happily order from Pastries A-La-Carte again!

Congratulations to all the beautiful brides! These have been trying times to say the least. Life still goes on and like you, I was planning a wedding in the midst of it all. Throughout my process of trying to find vendors and all the things that come with every bride-to-be's well deserved special day, I was shocked at the cost of everything. I am a huge DIY fan if its doable. I do know, however, that not everyone is in a position to go that route so I started my own company dedicated to providing custom, high quality bouquets and other floral and misc wedding decor. No bride should have to sacrifice beautiful flowers on their big day.

Absolutely amazing! They showed up early and decorated the entire venue, including the ceremony aisle and all the details in between. I couldn’t have asked for a better florist!!

I currently do not pay for a Zola listing, so if you inquire here, I am unable to respond. Please inquire through my website if you legitimately would like to inquire. I’m Dawn, and I photograph your real, blissed-out wedding moments so you can relive them later. With me, there is no separating the now from the nostalgia, because I always deliver both.

Dawn was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, she was open and super helpful - they were always available to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly amazing, jaw-dropping, and perfection. They brought such high energy and an incredible attitude on the day, capturing every special moment with such care and creativity. Our entire family and wedding party LOVED working with her. We were especially touched that they were willing to travel all the way to NYC for our engagement shoot, going above and beyond to ensure we had beautiful photos to remember that milestone as well. We cannot recommend Dawn Derbyshire Photography enough - they played a huge role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Happy Out Photography 

4.5

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,875
  • Serves Crafton, PA

Happy Out derives from Irish origin- ‘a feeling or strong emotion that you can’t quite put into words about how you are feeling in that moment…blissful, joyful, or pleased is just not enough to convey to others about the butterflies you have in your stomach and that permanent smile you can’t wipe of your face.’ So why is this important? — This is the feeling you should have throughout the entire wedding photography + videography experience, and more importantly when you look back at your once in a lifetime moments in your portraits and film.

We found Katie and her team on The Knot after searching weeks for a photography/videography team. We talked to many vendors, but none really understood our relationship/vision quite like Katie. On our first conference call, she made us feel so comfortable and ran through every detail with us. We chose her photography and videography package and also added a ceremony and speech taping. We worked with the Owner, Katie, the entire time and did not meet the second photographer or videographer until the morning of the wedding which was fine. Katie filled them in on everything and I felt like everyone was all on the same page. Our engagement session took place in September 2019 in front of the Phipps Conservatory. She let us do 3 outfit changes and even stayed a little longer after the sun went down to capture a quick photo shoot that was an ode to our love of movies. The engagement pictures came back quickly and were wonderful! She walked us through a lot of poses but also let us just do our own thing. My wedding fell into the “Covid-19” category so we had to postpone our June wedding until August. Our wedding day went on without any issues. Katie and her team went to my house first to capture my husband and his groomsmen then they came to our location to capture me and my bridesmaids. Since there were two photographers, I assumed that they were each going to come to each location, but that wasn’t the case. We weren’t rushed for time so it didn’t matter, but I just thought it was strange they stayed together instead of separating to capture more moments. Katie and her team captured the ceremony so well. The pictures were absolutely fabulous and truly captured the moments and the emotions behind them. The video was a standard camera that didn’t move so sometimes it was difficult to see what was happening. I would have liked to see more of the guests reactions. We were told that there would also be drone footage used, but there was no drone used throughout the day. After the ceremony, we stayed on location for bridal party shots and intimate couple shots. Katie walked us through everything and it was done in the hour that we needed it completed by. At the reception, again the events were photographed very well, but once the events stopped and the party began to take place, I’ll be honest I was a little disappointed in what was captured. I had asked Katie to take pictures of every table while we were making our rounds, but neither of the photographers followed us. Then during the reception, I wish that I would have asked Katie to capture more pictures of us with the guests. There were plenty of candid pictures of guests talking in groups, but no posed pictures of guests looking at the camera. I don’t really have any professional photos of me and guests other than my bridal party and family. One of my biggest disappointments after looking through pictures was that there is no picture of me and my mother on my wedding day. I have lots with my dad, but none with just my mom or just my parents. My husband had extra time with the photographers in the morning so he has a lot of family shots, but unfortunately, I don’t. DO NOT GET ME WRONG - my wedding pictures are AMAZING and Katie did a fabulous job. We received numerous compliments on her work. I just feel like if you use her, you need to make an exact list of who and what you want pictures of or it will not be captured. I recommend Katie’s services to any upcoming brides!!!

Hello! My name is Shannon Cole and I am a professional makeup artist in the Pittsburgh area! In 2011, I began my journey at Sephora, where I became a certified makeup artist. Now nine years later, I work as a full-time freelance makeup artist. There is truly nothing in the world that makes me happier than helping others to feel beautiful and empowered with the amazing power of makeup.

Absolutely thrilled with the experience I had with Shannon Cole for my wedding and bridal party’s makeup. She was on-time, (7:30am start) incredibly talented and took so much time answering all of my niece’s makeup and skincare questions, they have never felt more special! Her professionalism and passion for her craft was evident on all of our faces, we looked amazing. Shannon was responsive through email and her pricing was true to her estimate. I was running out of time to do a trial, but based off of her Instagram I knew I didn’t even need one. Her signature look suits every bride and I have never felt prettier in my entire life. The makeup lasted all day and night, even through tears. I received countless compliments from friends and family and the pictures look amazing too. Not only is she beyond skilled, but her personality made the experience so enjoyable and relaxed. We honestly just had so much fun getting ready together. If you are lucky enough to find an open availability with Shannon, do not think twice and BOOK that now. She made my wedding day incredible, and I will be asking for a one on one makeup lesson for a Christmas present. Thank you, Shannon!!

PBG is an absolutely stunning location to get married at. The grounds are well kept, clean, and even individually catered to your group (the staff trimmed up greenery just to suit our wedding party!). It is also extremely convenient to have the ceremony and reception all in the same location. This was accessible to all of our guests and made transportation very straightforward. The PBG staff are ready to transport the bride/groom and photographers around the garden grounds for private photos, which made leaving and rejoining the party quick and easy. PBG does require you to individually hire catering and equipment, which allows your wedding day to be highly customizable but can also be overwhelming if you are doing this on your own (depends on how much work you want to put in!). They are also pretty flexible on different customizations you want. The only thing we wish went differently was the communication with the vendor - leading up to our wedding weekend they were quick to communicate via email or phone. However, on the rehearsal and the day of we felt unsure of what to expect. For example, when we arrived for the rehearsal our wedding group was left outside for 15-20 minutes without access to the venue and no information on why our rehearsal was starting late. When we tried to contact the team their phones were not picking up, and a staff member in the adjacent office for horticulture told us to our faces "we can't help you." The late start was because of vendor coordination - which we totally understand, but not knowing why we were waiting outside in the sun for that long was upsetting. Once we had access, we were not given any information on how the rehearsal would run, and it wasn't until at least 20 minutes late from our start time that the event managers interrupted our officiant to let us know that they would handle the logistics and cues. Once we had the direction it went smoothly, but similarly on the day of our wedding we were not told that the staff would assist with our entrances which led me (the bride) to panic about 15 minutes before our entrances until we were told that it would be handled. I feel that the PBG events team could easily smooth this out with an emailed outline of the rehearsal plan and what to expect on the day of, or to reach out with a day-of contact number.

I’m a multicultural wedding photographer based in Pittsburgh, PA and serving the surrounding area. My style is truly unique. I would describe it as a cross between modern, fine art and documentary-style photography. What makes me unique is that I do not have a single form of editing style like you see on most photographers instagram pages. I believe each image is unique, and you cannot edit every image the same way. If you like darker edits, I do those. But if you like more vibrant edits, I also do those. So let’s talk about what YOUR style is and how with my artistic eye we can create photos truly personalized to your event.

There aren't enough words that my husband and I can say to demonstrate how fortunate and grateful we are to have had Danny be a part of the most special day in our lives. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for everything! Thanks to them, my husband and I have the absolute BEST wedding photographs from every single second of our wedding. They were able to capture each and every special moment throughout our day and now we will have them forever. The quality of work and professionalism that they placed in to our wedding and every other wedding that they photograph is priceless. Everyone at Danny Ahmed Visuals is a true professional and they honestly and genuinely care about each and every one of their clients. From the very beginning, my husband felt like we were in great hands, especially after meeting with Danny. He was incredible and just has the best and chillist attitude. We cannot describe just how amazing and professional our photographers were with us and everyone at our wedding. Both of our photographers also had the best energy and attitude throughout our special day and they made sure we got all the photographs we wanted. We also got our entire wedding photographs really quick after our wedding and that also blew us away. I have several friends who were married before us and their photographers still have not given them their photographs to this day. Danny and his second photographer never made us feel like, "Clients" but instead treated us like FAMILY. We cannot wait to share our AMAZING photographs with our friends and family and will always recommended them to each and every person we know. Again, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for everything!
