Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer

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.

M’s Boudoir | Pittsburgh Intimate Boudoir Photography

Monday, March 8, 2010 Posted in Boudoir

Had a great time photographing M’s boudoir session last week, and received this wonderful email from her:

Heather, Thank you! My boudoir session experience was amazing and I cannot wait to see the pictures! I can’t wait until it is not a secret anymore so I can tell everyone and anyone that it is an experience not to be missed! You made me feel completely welcome and relaxed. Lisa did such an amazing job with my makeup. I felt like I was hanging out with a bunch of girlfriends that I have known for years. I know that I will forever look back on my session as a highlight in my life- Thank You!

She will be giving the album to her husband for their 10 year wedding anniversary this summer. What an awesome gift! And believe it or not, she has FOUR children!

Once again, the fabulous Lisa Johnson from Kiss and Make-up did an amazing job with M’s make-up.

Lightroom Workshop | Photoshop Workshop – March Dates

Tuesday, March 2, 2010 Posted in Workshops

Lightroom – Thursday March 11th, click here for details and registration.
Photoshop – Thursday March 18th, click here for details and registration.

We’ve been having so much fun with the workshops, and I received the nicest review from Sandy at Red Lotus Photography regarding her experience:

Heather is not only a vast encyclopedia of Photoshop knowledge, but she is an open book as well. Ask her anything, and she doesn’t hold back any information. Why? Because she loves sharing and helping people. She is an awesome teacher–organized, enthusiastic, and an excellent communicator. She has a way of teaching new information that just makes it click in your mind.

A Heather workshop experience is such a pleasant one; friendly atmosphere, great presentation, and thoughtful touches like notebooks and little care packages waiting for you at your seat when you arrive.

Although I had a pretty good understanding of Photoshop before this, I knew that I would learn a lot from Heather by taking this seminar. I was not disappointed. Go to her Photoshop or Lightroom workshop, and you won’t be disappointed either!

You can read all of the reviews by viewing my listings at Teach Street. And because it’s difficult for me to post without including a picture, below is one of the images we work on in our Photoshop workshop.

Photoshop Workshop Giveaway!

Monday, February 22, 2010 Posted in Workshops

If you follow me on Twitter, then you may have read how I won a Wacom Bamboo Tablet last week. The awesome folks at Evernote and Wacom teamed up for the giveaway and I was so excited (and shocked) when I won! If you are a photographer, or use Photoshop on a regular basis then a pen tablet is a must have. I have been a Wacom Intuos user for years with my current tablet being the medium Intuos 4.

Because I already own a Wacom Tablet, I thought it would be fun to give away the Bamboo that I won at my Photoshop Workshop this Friday. The workshop has been sold out since last month, but if you are enrolled, you could be the lucky winner of brand new Bamboo Tablet!!! YEAH!!!!

Having an awesome gift to share with my students made me think about what it would be like to have a real sponsor for my workshops. Wacom? Evernote? Are you guys listening? Tap, tap. Is this thing on? A girl can dream.

4 Days Old | Newborn Photography

Thursday, February 18, 2010 Posted in Newborn

Awww, so sweet.

I am amazed at how intently he was starring at his daddy, he’s only four days old!

Meghan’s friends got together and purchased a Weddings by Heather gift card to give as a shower gift. I’m told that it’s one of the only gifts that made her cry! A newborn session makes a unique and very special shower gift, click here for more information.

Gorgeous mommy.

A family of three.

I must be hormonal because this picture makes me cry… it is absolutely beautiful to see new parents so in love with their baby.

This is one talented little boy, he manged to get his thumb in his mouth!

I met Troy and Meghan last year when they were in Andy and Lilly’s bridal party. We had an instant connection and they were trying to tell me… without exactly telling me… that Meghan was pregnant. He was tiny, but he was in there!

Angela & Joe – Slideshow | Grand Hall at the Priory Wedding

Saturday, February 13, 2010 Posted in Slideshows

Interesting story about Joe that I neglected to mention in their wedding post. When I arrived at the wedding he told me that he knew everything about me because he had read every single post on all of my blogs. I was flattered… thought… awww, that’s so nice that the groom took an interest in my work.

Then he goes on to explain that when he was stationed in Afghanistan just before the wedding he was bored out of his mind, and when there was absolutely nothing on the planet left to do, he checked out my sites.

Whoa, wait, wha??

Nothing left on the planet to do, bored out of his mind and THEN he looks at my sites? As an absolute last resort? Geesh, glad I could help pass the time. Good thing I’m not easily offended or I might be inclined to post a not-so-flattering photograph of my new friend. Love ya buddy!

Lightroom Workshop – next Friday 2/19

Saturday, February 13, 2010 Posted in Photographers, Workshops

Still have a few spots open in the Lightroom Workshop next week, click here for more details and registration. Please join us, we have so much fun!

A few comments from past attendees:

You are an incredibly gifted teacher. It was great to watch you in action (plus learn new things! win!). Thank you for your generosity, your knowledge, and your friendship.
Great workshop that covered all the aspects of LR, good material and examples used that made it practical and applicable to our own work.
I learned so much from the workshop and have successfully applied lightroom into my workflow – and I can get things done so much faster! still a few kinks to work out.. but if i figured correctly – lightroom has already cut my editing time in half. =)
I learned a lot today. Among a few: You helped me see that organization is something not to overlook ever! I now understand color labels and how to keyword properly and with simplicity. I loved going over LR preferences and learning how to upload to the blog. I love your passion and generosity. I feel like I’m glowing. Your generosity it so appreciated! Sometimes I feel a little beaten down by the world and circumstance but the fact you believe in me enough to help me brings me to tears. Thank you and I pray God’s blessings shower you in the upcoming year!
Great time….you are a wealth of info- thanks for sharing your research! I am excited to get moving on using your processes.
Heather is fantastic. I’m interested in any photography or business related subject she teaches. Specifically, camera use, Photoshop, Lightroom, starting a business, marketing your business, session critique.
First of all I want to say thank you for having me out to your home for class, I really enjoyed your teachings. Also, I think that your approach to business is very unique even though you don’t think so. I received a lot more education then just Adobe Lightroom. You’re very contagious in a good way.
As a novice this workshop was incredibly helpful. I thought the instruction was well executed. The Lightroom book was also a great piece to the workshop.
