Armstrong Farms Wedding Krystal Healy Photography

Jacob and Kathleen were married on April 21st 2018, with a ceremony and reception at the Fieldstone Barn at Armstrong Farms. This couple was a lot of fun and I loved everything about this wedding!

I spent the morning with Kathleen and the girls as they got ready, while Lizzy, my associate photographer and second shooter, spent her time with Jacob and the guys at the farm. Both of us were sure to get plenty of pictures not only of the couple but of the details that were poured into this wedding.

This was particularly important because Kathleen’s aunts made ALL of the florals. They took a few classes and put their new skills to work to produce details that were a wedding photographer’s dream! Oh, and if you’ve seen Friends, then one look at the cake topper and you’ll immediately know why I love this couple!

The way these two feed off each other and make each other laugh constantly is contagious. I had a smile on my face the entire day—and nearly cracked a rib laughing at Kathleen at one point during the bride and groom portraits!

Since Jacob is 6’9”, the height difference was pretty extreme, but Kathleen wasn’t about to let that stop her. Instead, she jumped up on a tree swing! I was petrified until I saw her swinging about like she was an acrobat—and remembered that she was in gymnastics growing up. Once I calmed down, I had to laugh, and that moment made for some of my favorite photos!

That’s really what a wedding is all about, after all. You want to be able to smile and have fun on one of the most important days of your life! And boy, do these two know how to do that!

Kathleen and Jacob, thank you for asking us to be part of your wedding day—and for bringing so much joy and laughter with you!

Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh Wedding Krystal Healy Photography

Chris and Colleen were married on April 14th, with a ceremony and reception at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh.

These two originally met about 11 years ago because their siblings (Colleen’s sister and Chris’s brother) married each other! Actually, the two of them avoided each other for the first 8 years or so after that wedding, but about 2 and a half years ago, they finally connected at a party thrown by their siblings. So, of course, their wedding hashtag had to be #judge-golden2.0, and their families were thrilled to do this celebration all over again!

On the morning of the wedding, my second photographer, Lizzy, hung out with Chris and took some great photos of him and the guys. As for Colleen, I am in love with the photos of her dress that we did in their amazing Airbnb. Just look at how gorgeous that dress is! It’s perfectly suited for a stunning bride like Colleen.

I was also in love with the venue and the locations that we were able to use for our portraits. We did photos on the “Mexican War Streets,” which was also where Colleen got ready and which was only minutes away from the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. Those street pictures were among my favorites from the whole day. The children’s museum is such a unique venue. As a Pittsburgh wedding photographer, there are so many opportunities for unique backdrops. I was so excited to capture a wedding at such a fun venue. They couldn’t have chosen anywhere better to capture the whimsy and fun that everyone enjoyed throughout their wedding.

I’d like to send a big thank you to Chris and Colleen for choosing me to capture the day! Your friends and family were so welcoming and treated Lizzy and me like one of the crowd. Also, thank you to the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh for hosting such a phenomenal event!
