Late Summer Wedding

Cheers to Erin & Colten

Excitement fills my heart when I hear of a couple’s wedding day plans. I approach every wedding to best capture their unique relationship and Big Day dreams. Erin and Colten just had a great vibe when describing their Love Story. They included everything from historic buildings and an outdoor ceremony to a scotch bar and adorable “flower grannies”. Even though I packed this blog with more photos than usual, I think the best portrait of them is the nocturne. It includes only the props of a candelabra and her bouquet against a wooden backdrop. Colten kisses Erin’s hand as she stares directly into the lens, with a bit of an attitude that declares, “He’s all mine”. Their romantic vows to each other could have been stanzas lifted from a poem by Pablo Naruda. Everything was perfect under the breezes of late summer. Referral Fact: Erin was in her brother’s wedding as a bridesmaid back in 2020. Tyler and Jessica You can view all of Erin and Colten’s wedding photos at Aaron McGregor Photography. Thanks and Cheers! Wedding Venue: The Willow House

Celebration at The Barn at Madison

Posted on by

All day wedding ceremonies & receptions that take place in one location have been trending over the last 10 years. In addition to the venues providing separate locations for the bride and groom to get ready, it also gives me extra time to take formals and portraits! Kimberly and David booked The Madison Mansion for the weekend, which gave them plenty of time to decorate the day before their wedding. Kim designed the floral arrangements and decorated the wedding arbor. The three-story venue utilizes the top floor to house the pre-ceremony preparations, the middle floor for the formal dinner and the bottom floor opens as the dance space for the reception.  They held their ceremony on the luscious, green lawn surrounded by large pines, elegant gardens, a rustic, wooden barn and the mansion itself. It was a sweet, intimate wedding celebrated with their immediate family and friends. As always, thanks for your attention! Aaron McGregor Photography

Oak Lodge Wedding

Here’s a deep secret that I scream every day – I LOVE GETTING REFERRALS – especially when its the maiden of honor hiring us from 12 year ago! Sabrina & David had a wedding of the ages. At the edge of the Laurel Highlands in Stahlstown, PA, rests the lovely Oak Lodge. It is gorgeous and romantic. These two are magical together & their passion for life is endless. We captured their engagement session on Mt. Washington (blog post later). As for now… enjoy their outdoor photos! You can also check out their entire wedding at aaron mcgregor photography Side note: I am happily celebrating 25 years as a sole-proprietor in North Huntingdon, PA, & I STILL don’t charge an “arm and a leg”.

7 Springs Wedding

Romance radiated from the Laurel Highlands on the day of Stacey & Jason’s wedding. The day was filled with gorgeous people, earthy environs & luminous skies. Helen’s Restaurant at Seven Springs Ski Resort provided the perfect setting for their intimate wedding. The ceremony took place directly outside the restaurant nestled among the boulders and mountain laurel overlooking the pond. It was charming, serene, transcendental and perfect.

Photo Marketing Tips

Posted on by

“Wowzers!” you say. “I am getting clients from all over the place!” Sure I get some local bookings from recommendations on Facebook, or from word of mouth, but most people find me on Google. Hello!?! How many of you are surprised at a good ol’ Googling? I get contacted from people living in California, Minnesota, NYC & even Europe who need a photographer in the Pittsburgh area. I ask them, “How did you hear about me?” – Are you sitting? Their response, “I searched Google!” At this I click my ruby slippers and say, “There’s no place like homepage!” I applaud Search Engine Optimizations on my webhost, PhotoShelter. I do not advertise on the web nor feel the need to do so. I enjoy the benefits of pleasing clients and having them recommend me to their friends & family. By adhering to this marketing plan, I can keep prices within your budget! Best wishes and congratulations to Caitlin & Matt on their wedding in Pittsburgh, PA. Did I mention that having a blog on WordPress has it’s benefits too! I hope you enjoy these images of this gorgeous couple. amcgregorphotography.com
