Becky and Ryan

On my birthday morning, I had the gift of hanging out with Becky and Ryan. They are getting married this October. They were in for the weekend, from Kentucky. We met in the AM to take advantage of the great lighting. We have been so blessed here in Pittsburgh with Lots and Lots of sunshine!! It is such a breath of fresh air :-)

These two have no trouble showing affection for one another and they interact so naturally. They are a pleasure to know and I am happy to call them my friends. I had so much fun with them and look forward to seeing them again soon!

Birthday Post.

Yesterday was my Bday. I am in my Thirty Somethings again! We had a great day. Lots of family and great friends joined us. We had the slip n slide out and the kids had a blast. Click the picture for a few random shots I took. There is even one of me in there!

I want to thank my wonderful, beautiful (and hot of course!) wife, Bridget, for putting this all together. I love you sweetie!!!

Such a Cutie!

Check out this adorable little lady I got to hang out with on Friday. Isn't she a doll?

I love doing these sessions with kids! If you would like to have one of these relaxed portrait sessions with your child or children please give us a call @ 724.597.7525 or email to info@davidburkephoto.com

Growing up Fast!

I have had the opportunity to photograph my good friends' (Linda and Craig) son, the past few years. He just turned 2 on May 8 which is just 3 weeks before Brayden turns two. It has been fun watching these guys grow. This Post has some images of him a year ago.

He is a riot. Staying in one place, just is not happening! haha. His vocabulary is out of this world too. He says, 'I am going up the steps now. Oh look, an airplane!' with such clarity. Such a cutie.

It is always an honor to capture kids for me. It sure does keep me young. I am getting back on a roll with kids and will be launching some cool stuff in the near future.

Jamie and Doug - Engagement

Hanging out with Jamie and Doug was a blast! They are getting married this September. We decided to meet in South Park and start at the Children's playground. We could have stayed there the whole time. We did not stop laughing very often. What fun! I am really looking forward to the wedding.

We had mostly overcast skies the whole shoot, but the sun peaked out literally for about 10 seconds and then 20 seconds at the end. We were able to take advantage, quickly!

Thanks Jamie and Doug, I will talk to you soon!

Donna and John Wedding

Saturday, Bridget and I drove up to Old Stonewall Golf Club for Donna and John's wedding. It was a beautiful day for a wedding! The location was stellar as well. Donna and John both come from great families and their friends are awesome too. The entire event took place at the Golf Club, which made it very nice. They were married on the back patio overlooking the golf course. What a view! We did struggle with the wind a bit on Saturday, but it created some fun moments too (you will see below).

One of the coolest parts of the day was that Donna's, best friend, Ing, was her maid of honor and the officiant! Ing is a Baptist Minister. The ceremony was so touching and unique. What a wonderful friend! It was so sweet.

We had a really fun time on Saturday and wish Donna and John the best on the beginning of thier journey as husband and wife. Enjoy the next two weeks in Hawaii!! Thank you and your family and friends for making us feel so welcome. We enjoyed being with you all!

Here are a few moments from the day:












I mentioned the Wind earlier. We had Donna and John for some alone shots. So we were shooting along, having some fun and using the wind to create some drama with the veil. We ended up getting more than we asked for! The wind swooped in and took the veil up the side of the castle and onto the roof!! We did eventually get the veil returned, thankfully. Donna was so calm and relaxed when it was happening. This is the first I have seen something like this happen :-)

Check out the Fly Away Veil!!

Holy Communion

Yesterday I spent some time with a lovely family at St. Louise De Marillac Church, in Upper St. Clair. This lovely little lady had her first communion a few weeks ago. I was happy when I got the call to meet with them and create some portraits for them. We had a blast! We started with a few formals inside the church and then headed out onto the grounds of the church for some more casual shots. The rain held off for us too, which was great! She had so much energy and really loved to be in front of the camera. At one point she said, 'Are we done?' I said, 'Would you like to be?' Her answer, 'No!'. hahaha So needless to say we kept on shooting.


Photographing kids will keep me young! It is the best...

Check it out!






I Love this shot!


She wanted to make some funny ones :-) So Cute.
