Liz & John’s August Wedding

Posted on by

It may be frosty, okay downright freezing today in the Pittsburgh area, but Liz and John’s wedding occurred in late August. The weather that day was just like this couple – gorgeous and beautiful! We were greeted by an extremely happy, Liz whose smile was contagious. Everyone was brimming with excitement as hints of lavender, purple and white danced to a synchronized ballet. It was difficult for me to narrow down some of the best images from Liz and John’s wedding, but I hope you can be satisfied with just a sample of this gorgeous couple.

If you are getting married or know of anyone that is, please confide in us to capture all of your wedding memories. I always run specials during the month of February where you can save 20% off your wedding, portrait and pet portrait bookings. I refer to this as the “Sweetheart Special” because I believe that everyone should celebrate life and dance the cosmos! I hope you enjoy! http://www.amcgregorphotography.com

Candace & Andrew’s September Wedding Day

Posted on by

This smokin’ couple enjoyed the benefits of having a late September wedding. It wasn’t a scorching afternoon nor was it frigid. That wonderful Southern sun appeared to embrace everything in gold. The roses were at their crowning glories and upheld that prestige with sweet fragrances. This golden sun danced on Candace’s shoulders and tiara while Andy was completely chillin’.

There wasn’t any crazy pandemonium before the ceremony, no one was nervous and no one fainted. These two were completely committed to spending eternity together. It is such an amazing experience to witness all of these feelings of joy, love and good vibes.

So without further ado, it gives me such great pleasure to announce, “Candace and Andrew’s Wedding Day”.

Christine and Mark’s November Wedding

Posted on by

Some people fear the idea of getting married during the winter months. This was not the case for Christine and Mark. Sure, it may have been a little brisk, but they were bathed by love and the warm sun. Their wedding had it all: gorgeous people, romantic settings, elegant details and even a puppy!

As mentioned in a previous post, 2013 was a very busy year. This is the first post in a series of weddings that we photographed. If you find yourself wanting more than what this collection can offer you, please visit http://www.amcgregorphotography.com. I hope you enjoy!

The Magical Cookie Snatchers

Posted on by

The Cookie SnatchersVery few things compare to the magic of Santa Claus. It is really beautiful to envision a miniature sleigh being pulled by a team of flying reindeer. Throw in a little moonlight off glistening snow for good measure and you are on your way to sheer fantasyland. Reading “The Night Before Christmas” by Clement Clarke Moore to my two-year old son has awakened some of those childhood memories. The poem weaves a wonderful tale composed of rich language and wonderful metaphors. All of the elements contribute to this classical piece and inspire us even today, 190 years after it was penned.  Of course, the “fantasyland” I am referring to is only a figure of speech for the purpose of this letter. Let it be known, and rest assured, that there are a ton of examples that Santa Claus does exist and is very real. Never doubt that!!!

In keeping with a classic tradition, my wife Heather and I brainstormed ideas for a Christmas photo of our son, Emmett and mastiff, Ruben. We knew we wanted to create a timeless image so we fused a little bit of Norman Rockwell with some Clement Clark Moore. The props and set design were drawn up and the scenario of a child eating a cookie beside his loving companion was conceived. Overhead lighting and a warm glowing tree in the background was a requisite for the illumination. Now we were ready to take a photo that required the collaboration between two of the most uncooperative and unpredictable subjects – a young toddler and a hungry dog.

Heather and I really wanted something reminiscent of an innocent, yet naughty little boy sneaking a bit of Santa’s cookies. We also thought that our obedient mastiff, Ruben would try to sniff the plate of cookies that were placed right in front of him. The scenario that was inside our minds never played out since Ruben actually went for the cookie that Emmett was eating! Happy accidents are one of the joys of photography. I have included a few of the images that were from this session and a few other  images from clients. I hope you and yours have a Very Magical Holiday.
