"At the end of the day, the most important part is getting to marry your partner and beginning a life with them. Plans changed so much with covid so it was helpful to remember that no matter what I'll always have him" @shannonabarr ⠀ ⠀ I'm in awe of how gracefully Shannon and Avi navigated the constantly changing situation as their wedding day approached.⠀ ⠀ They chose to focus on what truly matters ✨⠀ ⠀ Their celebration was small and so beautiful, and we (my wonderful assistant, Chris, and I) were honored to be there documenting this new beginning for them 💛⠀ ⠀ Love is definitely not cancelled, it's just a matter of perspective 😉⠀ ⠀ Ps: these two are King & Queen of twirls 🤭⠀ ⠀ Dress @magicmomentbridal @sinceritybridal @justinalexander Rings @casadoropgh Earrings @hennejewelers Hair @emilyvanscoyandco Flowers @deep_rooted_co Film magic @richardphotolab ⠀ ~ #levanamelamed #marriagegoals #dreamwedding #dreamcouple #loveisnotcancelled #bride #groom #elope #elopement #smallwedding #everydayibt #pghweddings #weddingdreaa #weddingflowers #filmisnotdead #kodakportra400 #kodakfilm #richardphotolab #filmphotographer #hybridphotographer #kodakportra #ishootkodakfilm #kodak #pentax645n #thewhitewren #bellelumieremagazine 
It's the most wonderful time of the year ✨⠀ ⠀ I confess that some years I'm a Grinch 🤭 but this one, after all we've endured, I'm excited about the holidays. ⠀ ⠀ Granted, they'll look nothing like other years, but there's still so much to be joyful about!⠀ ⠀ This weekend we got our tree, first time getting a real tree, and got the home decorations going 🎄⠀ ⠀ Tell me, are you all decorated for the holiday you celebrate or are you on the Grinch wagon?⠀ ⠀ #levanamelamed #tistheseason🎄 #happyholidays #family #holidayphotos #christmasfamilyphotos #familyportraits #portraits #mondayvibes #winterphotos #makeportraits #winterfamilyphotos #merryandbright #siblingslove #bigbrother #newbornphotography #familyphotography #Pittsburgh #homefortheholidays #Christmastree #pittsburghportraitphotographer #findjoy #itsthelittlethings #mondaymotivation #christmasdecor 
I can make a list of all the things that went wrong this year, but I can also make one about all the good things and about all that this year has taught me.⠀ ⠀ In the end, what makes this year a good one, despite all the challenges, is you!⠀ ⠀ Yes, 𝙔𝙊𝙐! 🤗⠀ ⠀ Thank you for being here while apart! Thank you for every like, comment, reaction, share, response, check-in…and any other way of #connection that you can think of! ⠀ ⠀ Your #kindness, this year more than ever, has been a #blessing ✨⠀ ⠀ From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving 💛 ⠀ ⠀ #happythanksgivng #grateful #itsthelittlethings #loveisnotcancelled #Thanksgiving #thankful #family #togetherapart 
It's known that #engagementseason starts with Thanksgiving I already know if a few newly engaged couples out there 🥰 ⠀ ⠀ But, if you’re not in the industry, or scrolling through wedding Instagram on the daily, the concept of #engagementphotos might look very different in your head 🧐⠀ ⠀ You may not even know they’re a ‘thing’ that many couples do! ⠀ ⠀ And, many couples are nervous that professional photos means having to be someone you’re not. With me, that is simply not true ☝🏼⠀ ⠀ Find out why on the blog (link in bio)!⠀ ⠀ Ps: this blog post includes a very cute pup 🐶⠀ ⠀ #levanamelamed #makeportraits #pgh #tistheseason #celebratelife #pittsburgh #loveisnotcancelled #Thanksgiving #makememories #momentsofjoy #pittsburghphphotpgraphers #couplesgoals #engaged #pittsburghengagement #engagementsession #burghbrides #pghbridetobe #Thanksgivingengagement #theysaidyes #mellonparkengagement #goodlightpresets 
Chris and I decided to share an experience in lieu of Christmas gifts to each other this year. Yes, a little early but who cares 🤭⠀ ⠀ Let me tell you, we may adopt this as our new (and perhaps favorite) tradition as a couple 🙌🏼⠀ ⠀ At the resort, they asked us if we were celebrating something special. The answer was yes, were celebrating love and life 💛⠀ ⠀ This was also the perfect way to close this bitter sweet #weddingseason I'm beyond grateful for all the #levanamelamedcouples for the weddings I did get to document this year and for the ones we'll celebrate next year! I'm SO excited the #2021weddingseason !!⠀ ⠀ S/O to the @omnibedfordsprings for all the safety measures and for the fantastic service ✨⠀
