Perfect Photography for Pineapples Part - 1/3

When Mr. Pineapple and I were first discussing our wedding and our priorities his number one was food and mine was photography. I started studying photography at art school when I was in 8th grade. I had a brush with majoring in photography for college before I changed my mind at the very last minute. So began the search for a Pittsburgh photographer who could capture our wedding for all time.

My guidelines: No trendy effects, detail shots and mostly color images (black and white is lovely too, but we wanted primarily color images)

First off is Melody Farrin.

She is very traditional and has the ability to capture the little moments as well as the typical family portraits. Here are some of my favorites from her site and her blog.



I just love the look on the bride and groom's faces in this photo. Too sweet.


Her images are clean and beautiful, but overall not quite enough of the little moments I am looking for. If you are in the Pittsburgh area and like Melody's work definitely check out her site.
