Neo-Victorian Steam Punk Wedding | Latrobe Wedding Photography | Laura & Mike's Wedding

On August 14th I had the pleasure of photographing the most unique wedding I've ever experienced -- Laura and Mike's Neo-Victorian Steampunk themed wedding. This is what happens when two self-professed geeks marry.

It was a great wedding and reception at the uber cool DiSalvo's Station in downtown Latrobe, PA. Located UNDER the railroad tracks you could hear the trains roll above all night long. It was absolutely perfect!

So what is Steam Punk? As I was told, think Jules Verne, or better still, the movie The Wild, Wild West. Gears, clocks, wheels and of course, Victorian dress (bowlers for the men. And facial hair.). Naturally the full explanation is more involved, but you get the idea.

Laura and Mike, thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your day. I hope you enjoy this sneak peak, there are a lot more to come!

Omni William Penn | St. Louise de Marillac | Julie and Justin's Wedding

What a awesome wedding yesterday with Julie and Justin! St. Louise deMarillac is one of the most beautiful modern Catholic Churches I've ever worked in. After the service we made a few quick photos on Mt. Washington then off to Omni William Penn for the reception in the Grand Ballroom. Wow, this was a party! The dance floor was full all night thanks to DJ Doug Ries. Julie and Justin, thank you again and I look forward to seeing you after your honeymoon!

Two very proud dads

No Western PA reception would be complete without at least one Polka. This couple zoomed around the room like pros!

Great catch of the bouquet!
