Perfect Photography For Pineapples Part 1/3
April 17th, 2008 @ 11:03 am by Miss Pineapple
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.
You Bet Your Sweet Pineapple I Will!

The first week of August 2007, Mr. Pineapple and I went to New York to visit my sister. We had a great time staying in Chinatown and adventuring all over the city, it was Mr. P’s first visit. (My sister is the one on the left.)
Invitation Concepts
April 15th, 2008 @ 1:39 pm by Miss Pineapple
You might think that being a graphic designer would make the invitation design a breeze. Unfortunately, it probably makes it harder. The invites are something that most brides create or purchase in the last 6 months of planning, but nope, not Miss Pineapple.
I had so many ideas before I decided on our final concept. Even before we thought about color I was thinking about typefaces. In my world the design sets the tone for the entire event, rather than being an afterthought that fits the mood already created. I’ll share with you my top five favorite concepts before revealing the final final later on. The names and locations are fictional to protect the “innocent,” I didn’t want to blur them out and cover the lovely letters.
Here is one of my first designs: The Perfect Pair

So Happy To Be(e) Here!

Hi yin’z, I am Miss Pineapple and I am thrilled to be a new bee!
Pineapple is perfect for me! In addition to loving to eat pineapple, the fruit and I go way back. Growing up in Florida, my family had a patch of pineapple plants in our backyard. We grew the sweetest pineapples you could imagine. Instead of being grounded, when my siblings and I got into trouble we had to weed the pineapples. Prickly little buggers they are!
I am now a Pittsburgher planning a non-religious, city wedding with my love, Mr. Pineapple. Mr. P and I met 4 years ago when I was a student at Carnegie Mellon University and he was my supervisor. Scandalous!!! Well, not really. Mr. P and I were both in relationships at the time and had no interest in dating. Was he even as cute back then? He must not have been or else surely I would have noticed.
