Tessa and Brian’s Garden Wedding

When Tessa and Brian first came to meet with us, they described their vision for the wedding as an intimate candle-lit ceremony that would take place at dusk in an outdoor garden. And, as we listened to their vision, we became very excited. And, to add to the fun, Tessa and Brian are close friends with four of our favorite people, Michael and Angela and Lisa and Casey, so we already knew what a fun (high-kicking!) party it would be! :)

Tessa and Brian, thank you so much for trusting us to document your vision. Your wedding day was truly beautiful and unique, and we were so honored to be part of it. Here are a few photos of your beautiful day.

Wow, Milla! These photos are incredible. It looks like the lighting could have been tricky from a photography perspective, but the end result is absolutely gorgeous! You did a phenomenal job capturing the sweet, romantic ambience of all that candlelight and most importantly the beautiful, happy couple!

Heinz History Center | Jennifer and Ben

I have been looking forward to Jenn and Ben’s wedding for a LONG time. We did their engagement photos over a year ago, and we had such an easy, fun time together that I knew the wedding was going to be wonderful. And, it truly was. The ceremony was beautiful and reception was a blast. And, to top off the night, Ben’s band surprised Jenn with a song!

Jenn and Ben, here’s a quick preview of the photos from your day. Thank you, once again, for everything. :)

Beautiful job, Milla – as always! I especially love the 6th image. True photojournalism!

Meet George! Mellon Park Family Photos

Laura and George are two people who feel more like friends than clients. They have been in front of our cameras many times, starting with their engagement photos in Schenley Park and then their beautiful Pittsburgh Wedding at the Pittsburgh Golf Club. Now, I am absolutely thrilled to have photos not only the two of them, but a THIRD member of their family: George!!

Laura and George, thank you for allowing me to be part of the milestones in your lives. Your little man is absolutely beyond words. I was smitten.

Here are a few favorite photos. :)

Beautiful!

Amanda and Brian are married!

As I entered Amanda’s family’s beautiful Regent Square Victorian home on the morning of her wedding, I was greeted by hugs and warm welcomes from every side. “Now, this is going to be a great day,” I thought. And, it was. From start to finish, the day was beautiful and the people were warm and welcoming. Amanda and Brian have a very special love that you feel immediately, and not just for each other but for friends and family as well.

Amanda and Brian, thank you so much for asking us to be part of your day. Here are a few favorite photos from your wedding.

It was great to work with you again Milla! This reception was just awesome! And we always like to see the ceremony pictures since we are rarely there…

Lauren and John | Mansion at Maple Heights

The minute you meet Lauren and John, you know they are a perfect fit for each other. They are easy-going and kind, and most of all, they are totally happy and comfortable together. Their beautiful May wedding was held at St. Maurice Parish, and their reception venue was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen: the Mansion at Maple Heights. Tucked away on the streets of Shadyside, this stunning mansion is the perfect setting for a beautiful indoor/outdoor celebration.

Lauren and John, thank you for welcoming us so warmly to your wedding celebration. I will NEVER hear Thrift Shop again without thinking of you two!! haha! Here are a few favorite photos. Enjoy!

Beth Crook Insalaco - May 30, 2013 - 5:51 pm

Sheraton Station Square | Julia and Patrick

Julia and Patrick were married on a beautiful spring day at Prince of Peace Parish on 15th Street in Pittsburgh’s South Side neighborhood. And, they held their reception at one of my favorite Pittsburgh venues: the Sheraton Station Square. Afterwards, we took photos along South Side’s beautiful tree-lined streets and enjoyed the stunning view of the city from the North Shore as well!

Julia and Patrick, thank you for asking us to be part of your celebration. Here are a few of my favorite photos of the day!

And, since I know you are wondering, Julia’s beautiful makeup was done by the wonderful Joy Lager (pictured above!). It was so nice seeing you, Joy!

Published | Wedding Dogs Book

To say that I love dogs would be an understatement.  I have two veterinarian parents and grew up working in their small-animal hospital.  We have two slobbery boxers who add so much joy to our lives, and we even started an arm of our business focusing specifically on documenting the lives of dogs!  

So, when I was contacted by Katie Preston Toepfer about publishing a photo from Ellie and Josh’s beautiful Atlanta wedding in her newest project, a beautiful hard-cover photography book entitled “Wedding Dogs: A Celebration of Holy Muttrimony”, I was absolutely thrilled to contribute to this collection and honored to be featured alongside other photographers who I greatly respect and admire!

The book will be officially released later in April, but I just received a copy in the mail and truly enjoyed looking through the photos and reading the touching stories of how dogs are truly family.  If you love dogs and weddings, you can purchase this fun, heart-touching collection of photos and stories at Amazon.com on April 16th.

Be sure to “like” the Wedding Dogs facebook page here!

 

 

 

Beth Crook Insalaco - April 2, 2013 - 3:17 pm

Now that’s an awesome way to be published! Awesome work, Milla! I love dogs, too :)

Caryn Azure - April 2, 2013 - 3:23 pm

Awesome, Milla! What an honor! Absolutely beautiful photograph!

Heritage SS Atlanta | Whitney and Jon

Whitney and Jon were married on a beautiful, spring Atlanta day and we were so happy to be part of their celebration. Whitney and Jon live in New York City, and I was able to visit them there last year to take their engagement photos. But, their families and many friends are down south, so they planned a beautiful wedding and reception at Heritage Sandy Springs.

Whitney and Jon, it was so special to be part of your day. You two are so obviously perfect for each other, and it’s been such a joy to know you as a couple (not only as an Auburn girl). Jon, you take great care of my wonderful friend! :)

Here are some favorite photos from your day. Much love to you both!

Lake Martin Wedding | Michael and Ashley

As I pulled up at the beautiful old lodge at Lake Martin and moved in our suitcases, cameras, and dogs for the week, I knew it was going to be a truly special time. My parents, sister, brother in law, nephew, grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and their kids all drove in from different states to stay together and celebrate the wedding of my cousin Michael and his fiance Ashley. And, as we sat around the fire, took long walks by the lake, held babies, ate great food, and caught up on the past year, I was reminded that the reason weddings are so special, the reason that we all truly celebrate together, is because we all become family. And, family is truly one of the greatest blessings.

So, cheers to the wonderful new couple and to gaining a sweet, beautiful cousin. I am very honored that we were asked to document this wedding weekend. Here are some of my favorites.

Mazel Tov Michael and Ashley! We love you both.

Nancy McHan Cattarius - January 12, 2013 - 3:18 am

Pittsburgh Baby Photography | Phoebe

This summer I got the sweetest email from a former wedding client of my friend Mary Schwarz, who now lives in Washington DC.  Lindsay and her husband Aaron were expecting a little girl AND that they had a very sweet dog who they wanted photographed. So, this summer we had  fun playing in their back yard with Rudy and capturing his personality. And, now, Lindsay and Aaron have welcomed sweet Phoebe into their world, and I was thrilled to be able to document this new phase as well.

Lindsay and Aaron, thanks so much for trusting me to document this wonderful time in your lives. You two are really special and I truly enjoy the time I get to spend with you. Phoebe is absolutely perfect, and I am so happy to have met her. Here are a few photos from your session. I hope you love them as much as I do. :)

And, just for laughs, Phoebe isn’t the only baby in this family. :)

Cindy Crisp Davis - February 8, 2013 - 6:20 pm

Beautiful photos of a sweet baby.

NYC Maternity Photos | Rachel and Vito

There’s nothing quite as exciting as being pregnant with your first child. Everything is unknown, and there is so very much to look forward to. Rachel and Vito are expecting their first, a little boy, this March. And, it was so much fun for me to spend time in their home and NYC neighborhood to take their last photos as a family of two.

Rachel and Vito, I felt like a friend as soon as I walked through your door! And, I am so excited for you both. Your love is very sweet and natural, and I know that you are going to be wonderful parents. Hopefully I’ll get to meet the little man one day soon! :)

Here are a few favorite photos. Enjoy!

Jordan Feinstein - February 8, 2013 - 1:30 am

Saint Vincent Basilica | Norma and Tim

When you plan a wedding in Pennsylvania in January, you never know what type of weather you might have. Norma said from the beginning that she was praying for snow and WOW, did she receive her wish! Norma and Tim are such a special couple, and ever since getting to know them at bit at their engagement session, I was so excited to be part of their celebration.

Norma and Tim, thank you for asking us to be part of your day. Though you were married on a cold winter day, your wedding was nothing but warm from start to finish. As soon as I walked through the door and started receiving hugs and smiles, I felt more like family than your photographer. And, as a side note, your amazing pine candle has been burning in my kitchen almost non-stop since Sunday!

Here are a few favorite photos from your day. Enjoy. :)

I saw the side profile of Norma’s face and I didn’t recognize who it was at first, and I thought what a pretty complexion. Haha, the picture of my brother and Norma dancing is hilarious because of Sean’s face! Hahaha.

NYC Newborn Photography | Hudson Davis

NYC newborn photography

Hudson Lee Davis was born on September 13, 2012. A beautiful baby boy, he is sweet, happy, and easy-going. While I was there to visit with his mama, he continuously grinned and flashed me those big blue eyes. Rebecca is a childhood friend, and it has been so sweet to see her become a wife and now a beautiful mother. I was able to spend time with Rebecca and Ben last summer and take a few photos of them before Hudson entered the world. And, now, they are a sweet family of three.

Ben, I am so sorry I missed you this trip, but I look forward to seeing you next time. :)

Here are a few photos of Hudson and Rebecca.
