Jamie + Nathan

We had a wonderful weekend! If you keep up with the blog, you know that we welcomed our new nephew, Dylan to the family for one. Secondly we shot the wedding of Jamie and Nathan who are very special to us! Jamie's family has been a part of my life for many years and having the pleasure of shooting her wedding was an honor.

The day started off at the Renaissance Hotel across the river from PNC Park. First class, all the way! They had two rooms on the top floor, one of which included the balcony overlooking the city. It was such an ideal spot for getting ready! Jamie was so elegant and beautiful. Everything was detailed perfectly and she walked through the day with amazing grace. It was so much fun seeing the anticipation and emotions she went through. We were so glad to be there to get them all :-)

They were married at St. Anne's Church in Mt. Lebanon, PA. After the ceremony, we made a quick stop on Mt. Washington and then headed to The Priory, Pittsburgh's Grand Hall. What an amazing venue! Absolutely gorgeous. Jamie and Nathan also selected a few other 'top of the line' vendors. Videography by Gordon and Barbara Schu and the sounds were by DJ Spike Real. These people are so great to work with. So, if you ever need videography or DJ services, look no more. Be sure to tell them davidburke photo sent ya ;)

We just want to say 'Thanks' to Jamie and Nathan for trusting us to capture their day. Many blessings to both of you and enjoy your honeymoon!!

Be sure to check back soon for a slide show!

Here is what we saw:

This picture speaks volumes to me. Jamie dancing with her father, Ralph. This was a very touching dance because they selected a song as a dedication to Jamie's mother. Joyce, Ralph's love and Jamie's mother, passed away earlier this year. Being so close to the family, trying to shoot with dry eyes was more than a challenge. Seeing Jamie's smile and Ralph's tenderness is timeless.
