By | weddings | No Comments

Today I’m sharing an anniversary post for some dear friends who were married in one of my favorite small towns in Indiana County, my home town of Saltsburg!  Jimi and Leeona are two people with some of the biggest hearts you’ll ever meet.  Whether it’s taking in fur babies off the street, or volunteering for the YMCA, they bring smiles wherever they are.  Here’s a look back at their sunny September wedding.   We started the morning off with the girls getting ready at Jimi’s grandma’s house.  I loooved her cast iron collection and her kitchen had beautiful light flooding in!  Leeona had a photo of Jimi’s proposal on the beach out on the counter.  The light was perfect the day he asked her to marry him too.

Leah and Glenn are getting married this weekend and it’s time to look back and celebrate their engagement one last time before they tie the knot!  One of their favorite activities is going for a run together or taking a long walk with their dog, Kaia.  Last summer they were living in Pittsburgh and Schenley Park was one of their frequent evening hang outs.  We met up and walked the trail near Panther Hollow at sunset and caught the last vibrant colors of the evening on top of the overlook.  They even used the first photo below as their save the date they sent out to their wedding guests!   Kaia frequently stole the show till their friends came by to pick her up so they could continue with photos dog-free.  Kaia happily trotted off to their car leaving us to feel like the parents whose kindergartner runs off with…
