• Weddings by Heather | Celebrating Love in Photography

    Welcome to our website, we are wedding photographers based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My name is Heather and I'm addicted to weddings, romance, sexy images and Photoshop. I am absolutely blessed beyond measure. I am hoping that my passion for photography is evident in my work, but I also have a passion for my clients. Documenting the most important day of your life is such an honor!

    I am also an educator and offer seminars and lectures on wedding photography and business. As an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop, I offer technical training as well. It is very rewarding to hear a student proclaim, "you have changed my life!"

    We have a love for God, our family, our clients and our art. We are driven by an overwhelming passion and desire to document couples in love.

Angela & Joseph

Angela and Joe held their ceremony and reception at Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall at The Priory. Both of them serve in the Air Force and were the winners of the The Priory’s Winter White Wedding Giveaway. The staff at the Grand Hall understands that simply providing the entree, the lighting, and the table linens isn’t as important as fulfilling the needs of each client, as well as their friends and family. Every year they give away a wedding package to a deserving military couple. They take great care in providing top notch service to every guest, and their attention to detail is flawless. The results are always beautiful and perfect. I cannot say enough about the Grand Hall, and highly recommend them for any event.

Loved Angela’s necklace.

Isn’t she just a classic beauty?

She looks so radiant! And so excited!

I thought that Joe’s expression was so perfect. If you know him, then you know he’s a really funny guy, which means that a natural, genuine expression is sometimes hard to get. But not for me! I told you that I had my eyes on you, Joe!

After the ceremony we headed over to The Priory to take some photographs.

They got cozy by the fire, it was very cold invigorating outside!

Love this shot.

This sweet, little girl was so much fun. Do you remember what it was like to dance with everything you had in you without worrying what others were thinking?

A special thanks for Angela and Joe for sacrificing so much to serve our country. And thank you to the Grand Hall for inviting me to participate in this wonderful event, it’s truly an honor!

Advanced Photoshop Workshop – January

After receiving numerous requests, I am finally offering an Advanced Photoshop Workshop! As an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop, I love playing sharing my knowledge with others. If you have ever wondered how or why my images look the way they do, then you may wish to attend as I will be disclosing many of my techniques.

This workshop will be geared towards photographers, with an emphasis on efficiency (shortcut keys, actions, presets, etc). We will be working on a variety of photographs, including; wedding, portrait, newborn, family and children. I will also ask the participants to send me one of their images that they would like to transform or improve. I am really excited about the content, sometimes it even keeps me awake at night! Dreaming of curves and droplets. Ha

Advanced is defined as the following:
Familiarity and basic understanding of layers
Working knowledge of Photoshop

Our Photoshop workshop is a mix of instruction, demonstration and hands-on application. Exercise files are provided.

Photoshop is an extremely robust, diverse application, we will not be working with Bridge, Image Ready, slices (or anything to do with website design). As mentioned previously, we will focus on the use of Photoshop as it pertains to photographers.

These are a few of the topics we will cover:

Curves
Layer Masks
Actions
Droplets
Color Enhancements
Creative Color Techniques
Body Scultping
Typographic Design Tricks

In addition, we will create and save a few of my favorite actions for you to take home! The most exciting of these is my complete retouch action, which includes skin softening and facial enhancements.
