A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting a stunning wedding with Nicole Cassano in Pittsburg, PA and Youngstown, Ohio. Seems a bit odd to be shooting in two states…but they are just a hop and a skip away from each other and the locations were well worth the drives. Not only did we shoot in 2 states, but we shot in 5 different locations. Groom getting ready, Bride getting ready, Ceremony, portraits in Botanical Gardens in Ohio and then finally Strambaugh Auditorium in Youngstown for the second half of the portraits and the Reception.
Not only was this wedding well traveled, but it was BIG. One of the biggest weddings I have had the chance to photograph. Once I heard the guest count I wanted to have Nicole bring on several more photographers. Just shy of 400 guest and a Bridal party of 28, we had our work cut out for us!
Sadly we encountered a bit of rain and about 90% humidity after the rain at the Gardens, so we only spent about 15 minutes there, but we made up for it at the Auditorium which pretty much took my breath away. Candace (the Bride) was a dream bride to photograph and allowed us to drag her and her gown all over the place. Here is a peak at my view of the day. Thank you Nicole for having me…you are a pleasure to work with!
