Congratulations Brandon & Tyler – Married May 26, 2013!

Ceremony  held at: Memorial Park Church in Allison Park, PA
Reception held at: Pittsburgh Marriott North 
Catered by: Pittsburgh Marriott North 
Transportation By: Shamrock Limousine 
Cake by : Jennuine Cakes
Bride’s Dress by: Jacquelines Bridal
Bride’s Hair: Bellisima Hair Studio

Although no one could seem to get the couple’s names straight (even the bride’s uncle during the ceremony!) no one could be confused about how much Tyler and Brandon love each other! These two are a perfect pair, and they had a perfect day for a wedding, with beautiful weather and a stunning bride, Tyler. Her dress was amazing, as were her blinged out bridesmaids dresses and chic reception decor! These two were so excited to see one another, they couldn’t even wait until the ceremony, so they did a first look!  They met before the wedding to have photos taken at the brides show-stopping home and then in North Park. The first look helped to make the day run smoother, left a lot of  time for photos, and allowed for them to move quickly from the church to the reception, and not keep their guests waiting for hours. We were privileged to share in this couple’s special day, and we will you all the happiness in the world, Tyler & Brandon!

Grant and Emily’s wedding was no ordinary wedding for the Ovation Images team- it was a personal celebration for one of our own! Emily is Don’s beautiful daughter and she was married to the love of her life, Grant in Albuquerque, New Mexico on May 18th, 2013. Shawn went down to New Mexico with Don to celebrate and photograph the wedding, but even Don took a few shots (as photographers we can’t go to a wedding and not pick up a camera)! The couple chose mostly local vendors, including a  fantastic outdoor venue called Casas de Suenos, but the bride did get her dress from Davids Bridal! The day as a whole was fantastic, beautiful bride, beautiful wedding, beautiful memories. So join in with us to wish one of our very own, Grant and Emily, congratulations on their marriage! Sending you both all of our love and a lifetime of happiness together!
