Zach and Kelly’s Sheraton Station Wedding

Our Lady of the Angels Wedding Krystal Healy Photography

Zack and Kelly were married on June 9th, with a ceremony at Our Lady of the Angels and a reception at Sheraton Pittsburgh Hotel at Station Square.

Zack proposed to Kelly one night while they were on vacation in Punta Cana with Kelly’s family. They were having dinner at the beach with the whole family and walked down to the edge of the water to take a picture. All of a sudden, Zach got down on one knee—to all sorts of applause and congratulations from plenty of other guests at dinner who had noticed what was happening! The live band played “Marry You” by Bruno Mars, and they were served champagne when they got back.

On the day of the wedding, I started out with the ladies while my second shooter and associate photographer, Lizzy, was with the guys. They were getting ready at Kelly and Zach’s super awesome apartment complex, which made for some great pictures thanks to its modern and industrial feel!

While the complex was modern, the church where they were married felt so historic and beautiful. It’s the kind of wedding venue that makes you feel like you’re part of a fairytale or a tale of royalty. And the whole time, we were surrounded by an atmosphere of warmth and excitement from every one of the guests, who were thrilled to see Zack and Kelly get married!

After the ceremony, I was able to steal these two away to get some nighttime photos. These are always some of my favorites from my weddings—especially because it’s a time when my couples can get away from the hustle and bustle as well. And Zack and Kelly agreed—they both said that their favorite images came from that shoot!

Kelly & Zack, thank you for asking me to be part of your amazing wedding. I hope that you had a blast honeymooning in Rome and Greece!

Stephen & Jen’s Armstrong Farms Wedding

Fieldstone Barn Wedding Krystal Healy Photography

Stephen and Jen were married on June 2^nd 2018, with a ceremony and reception at the Fieldstone Barn at Armstrong Farms.

Stephen & Jen’s Wedding at the Fieldstone Barn

These two have had to make it work in a long-distance relationship for a couple of years now, but that seems to have only made their love stronger. Stephen lived in Kansas, and Jen is from Pittsburgh, so they’ve had to get creative about spending time together. But that means the proposal was a wonderful surprise for Jen when he came up to visit for the summer and cleared out her student apartment to set it up with candles and Italian wine!

Now, they were excited to close the gap after being apart for two years, and that excitement definitely showed through in every image I was able to take of them. My second shooter and associate photographer, Lizzy, and I had a blast watching these two laugh together. You can’t beat this kind of pure joy.

It was also so fun to work with them on the sunset and nighttime photos. I always love getting my couples framed in the fading light or with the stars coming out as a perfect backdrop, and these two were no exception.

Jen & Stephen, thank you for asking me to be a part of your joy and happiness. I hope that you had fun in Mexico and Peru on your honeymoon—and I’m sure that you’re already taking the world by storm together!

Bo & Tori’s DoubleTree Cranberry Wedding

DoubleTree Cranbery Wedding Krystal Healy Photography

Bo and Tori were married on May 26^th, 2018, with a ceremony at Saints John and Paul Catholic Church and a reception at DoubleTree Cranberry.

Bo actually proposed when these two were visiting friends in Aiken, South Carolina. They all went out one Friday night and stopped to get some drinks before dinner at the famous hotel Willcox. Tori and her friend were at the bar when her friend’s husband said the boys were looking for them outside. When Tori walked out, a pianist was playing while all of their friends were gathered to watch Bo get down on one knee. They all went out to celebrate at a private room at the Green Boundary Club after that!

Once they were engaged, they hardly had to think twice about where they wanted to get married. They had both belonged to Saints John and Paul Parish since they were little kids, and what’s more, Tori’s father actually helped to build the church! With so much history there, how could they get married anywhere else?

In addition to having the ceremony at the church, we set up a first look at the church, which resulted in some of my favorite portraits of the day. They are moodier than my normal images, but I think that’s why I love them. There was a small chapel “grotto” downstairs below the main sanctuary that looked like something out of The Little Mermaid, which was right up my alley as a Disney fanatic!

My second shooter and associate photographer, Lizzy, and I had no shortage of touching details to photograph. It was obvious that Tori and Bo wanted this day to go perfectly for everyone, including their guests—and considering the homemade cookies that we got to eat, I’d say they knocked that out of the park! But even in the smaller details, like the jewelry from their parents and grandparents, they were always sure to keep friends and family close. I loved that about them.

Tori & Bo, I am so glad to have been a small part of your day! It was a true celebration.
