At last.. A Blog!

Wow! That is the one word that I can use to describe Pittsburgh! I really LOVED that city! It is SO gorgeous! I'll be posting a picture or two of me later that Jason took while we were looking around a bit. Right across the street from the hotel was an old European Style train station that was converted into an apartment building. Wait until you see the pictures! They are awesome. Pittsburgh has the "feel" of New York City but cleaner. Now on to the wedding... that was a little bit of an adventure! The ceremony was pulled off without a hitch.. it was after that things got a little crazy.

We leave the church to head to the reception. The groom had told us that the reception site was about an hour away. On the way was an Old Mill that we were going to stop at to take pictures. Well... that didn't happen. The limo driver got lost...she had GPS in the limo.. I guess she didn't know how to use it! So needless to say we were in the car behind them and we are following them to the most secluded area. We keep looking at each other saying WOW.. can you imagine this picture or that picture?! HA.. yea right.. we finally get back into the city and are a little down about the fact that all the shots we thought we were going to get were gone. The poor bride and groom were 30 minutes late to their own reception! (I WOULD BE TICKED!) Oh well, Jason and I had another plan for some gorgeous pictures. Before we had the chance to really talk about that though, Jason asks the DJ what the first dance song is. Well, the DJ tells Jason that the Brides father was supposed to bring him the CD. So the DJ heads over to the bride and even from a distance you can see that something isn't right. No one had the bride and grooms first dance song! NO WORRIES! Jason, by the grace of God, had brought his wireless internet card and we were able to pull up their song and download it on Jason's IPOD. YAY! The day was saved. So, luckily that all turned out well!

We ended up taking the bride and groom to this old alley and a gorgeous old Courthouse just a few blocks down. We got some AMAZING shots. If you want to see more of them go to Jason's blog. He has the slideshow up. His website is http://www.jasonlanier.com/. That is about all for now! Have a great day! Until next time...
