Tina and Carmen: Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer
Tina and Carmen were married in early May. They both have traditional Italian families ( I mean conversations were going on around me, and I would only catch a few words at a time!) so the food, the music, and the dancing was awesome. Without further ado: Tina and Carmen’s wedding! Here is one of [...]
Kelly and Matt: Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer

Here are some of my favorites from their wedding. Kelly started the day getting ready at the Station Square Sheraton and then moved the party onto [...]
Nikkie
Nikkie contacted me a while back about shooting some lifestyle photos! So after going back and forth for a while, we finally nailed down a date and went out for some fun. Nikkie is vivacious, funny, and a great person. It also turns out that she is the event coordinator for Heinz Field and does [...]
So I havent written since the Superbowl. Sorry about that. Things have been crazy busy, and also very sad. So here’s my February wrap up. I finally got a new computer and camera and lens. I’m still not fully rebuilt, but I am able to shoot and edit so life is good. Just waiting on [...]
Just a moment
I love Holidays. I love the time that I get to spend with friends and family, but this year is gonna be a tough one for our family. As you may remember, my cousin Jason died this summer at the young age of 25. Just weeks after getting engaged. I miss him every day, and [...]
WOW
SO today I decided to check out how my new Nikon D700 really performs iin low light situations. All I can say is WOW!!!! I’ve been using it at 6400 iso at weddings because alot of the churches that I shoot in are REALLY DARK. But I had never really pushed it all the way [...]
Whats happening to football?

As a result, I haven’t been blogging nearly enough, but I have been updating Facebook and Twitter like crazy, so if you arent already my friend, please, say [...]
Vincent Laforet
I have to say that this video is amazing. It was captured using the Canon 5D mkII and the footage, color, and noise is amazing. Vincent is a genius in the way that he filmed this, and to imagine that the actual video was shot completely with a DSLR. Here is the behind the scenes [...]
Laura and David
According to Laura, and Davids friends, Dave was girl shy throughout most of his college career. It wasn’t till sitting in the dining hall one day, that Dave saw Laura and told his buddies that he was going to talk to her. They all laughed, joking with him, until he stood up walked over and [...]
HD Kung Fu!
You have to check this video out. Chase Jarvis is one of the most inovating commercial photographers around, and also gives back to the community more than most. This video was just released not to long ago, and if you are like me at all, you’ll watch it over and over, and then begin to [...]

We now have power. That's 24-48 hours sooner than predicted by the electric company. Thanks guys for getting me up and running so fast. Thanks to this change I hope to have photos online by tomorrow.

Stupid storm
Have you ever felt completely helpless? Nothing is working, and every ounce of you wants to scream? Since last night I have been without power. Cold showers. A melting freezer. Those are things I can't control. But more frustrating than that is not being able to upload wedding images to my blog for my clients [...]
Leslie and Mike
Leslie and Mike met when Mike walked into the hair salon that Leslie works on to pick up building plans that her dad had dropped off. They were both attracted to each and Mike asked Leslie’s dad if he could take her on a date. Since Leslie had just gotten out of a relationship her [...]
Heather and Chad
Heather and Chad work together. Chad loves Heather. Heather Loves Chad. They are getting married! In may that is. But yesterday was a beautiful day and we wondered around Station Square shooting their E-session. Until 10 am yesterday, we had only talked on the phone. But that didnt stop me from making Tommy Boy and [...]
Pelee Island Round 3
Family and friends may be the most important things in life. With out both, you really arent living to your fullest potential. That said, I love my family. My mom and dad are so supportive, and my sisters are awesomely talented young women. This Sunday after my late Saturday wedding I woke up and decided [...]
What a week
Normally I’m not one to complain about my week, and in all reality, its been pretty darn good. Saturday however, I was coming back from a wedding and totaled my car. Getting lost, and trying to figure out where you are when there is stop and go traffic, IS NOT a good thing. But a [...]
Great week
Once again I'm coming from my iPhone on Friday night. Normally I'd be getting ready to go out, but I have a super early wedding tomorrow and I had a Photoshoot all day. I'm tired and ready to watch the olympics. Speaking of the olympics: micheal phelps is simply amazing. It's no wonder why kids [...]
Jess and Derek
Jess and Derek met through mutual friends. For a long time Jess couldn’t stand Derek. But from the moment they met, Derek was taken. Jess hated the fact that he would get mad if she went on a date or danced with other guys, but eventually she asked him if they were going to go [...]
Erin and Dave
Erin and Dave were awesome! We didnt talk much before the wedding, but had a connection that I try and achieve with every client. From the time we first talked, it seemed like I knew them. They laughed, cried, danced, and posed their day away. Erin said that she felt like Gisele working the camera [...]

You can now visit http://danspeicherphoto.com/ directly to see my photography. I appreciate everyone’s patience and encouragement over the past few months and hope that this is a site [...]
