Pittsburgh Weddings | A Quick Stop at Starbucks

On my wedding day I made sure I had my coffee, but it was purchased before I ever got dressed. With the cold and dreary day we had yesterday, that first cup wasn't enough. I should have known we would stop at Starbucks in Moon Township on our way back from getting some pictures. I covered my first car's floor mats in a lovely chai and white mocha mix getting this particular bride (and myself of course) coffee a few years ago. The things we do for coworkers... So the lovely limo driver stopped for us while the bridal party, limo driver and I got Starbucks and the boys got fries at McDonald's. Seriously an amazing pit stop and the people there LOVED it. So you know I just had to take a few shots of the rings...

I seriously took a million shots, I couldn't get enough.

Just a few different shots, I couldn't pick one favorite!

Now I want a pumpkin spice latte. I've got a lot to edit so there should be a couple more posts this week!

Boyce Park | Engagement Pictures

They met through friends, and had their first date at the Waterfront to see a movie. We've all been on that movie date. You don't have to talk once the previews are over so there isn't much pressure. Obviously something clicked. I'll never forget when Amber told me they were engaged, it was during a fire drill! (My favorite thing to do at work) Her ring was gorgeous and I knew they would be happy together. I had met Jason once before, but it was because we ran into eachother at show for a band I used to take picutres for. I didn't even remember he wore glasses when we met up for their engagement pictures. Just three weeks ago we had unseasonably warm weather and a cloudless sky that made it hard to get pictures with out weird lighting. And today, for their wedding, I am looking out my office window at a bunch of snow we should not be having. You'd think the two days were seasons apart! Hopefully the snow brings you both lots of luck in your marriage, I can't wait to see you in a couple hours.



Rebranding | Justina Mikalik Photography

I am rebranding now that I am married and it is a very involved process! I have an engagement session to post here and two weddings. I will have another engagement session this Saturday as well, so I am one busy bee! The old Facebook page at Justina M Photography will be shut down once the new one at Justina Mikalik | Photography  is completely loaded with pictures and most of the fans are switched over. Thank you for bearing with me through this process! I will be taking some family sessions for the holidays starting this month and with them you get a free personalized holiday card file that you can print or order prints through me! Please contact me for pricing. Now I have to get back to uploading to Facebook, blogs about the recent wedding will be coming this week!
