After Dark | My Favorite Night Shots | 2016

Hey guys! So if you know me, you know how much I adore stealing my couples away from their reception for a few pictures after dark. They're almost allllways my favorite shots of the day (and hopefully theirs too!). Recently I've been also taking some engagement & senior photos after dark too, so everyone can get in on the fun.

This year had some pretty amazing shots, because I had some pretty amazing couples. We've had rain, fireworks, sparklers, city lights, smoke bombs, creeks, and beautiful skies. What more could you ask for?

The Grand Estate Wedding | Jamie & Ben

I wasn’t the original wedding photographer for Jamie & Ben’s big day, but their photographer ended up in labor a few weeks early, so I stepped in to cover. It ended up being an incredible day, filled with family and friends celebrating in the best way. The Grand Estate is one of my favorite venues, and it was so nice to work there again!

Carnegie Museum Wedding | Julie & Michael

These two had the most stunning room set up! It is hard to make the museum look even more magical than it already does, but they did it! It helps that they are some of the kindest people you’ve met, and absolutely rocked their portrait time.

Pittsburgh Lifestyle Newborn Session | Jack

This family was a referral from some current clients of mine, and it turns out they live less than a mile from my home! It was so nice to both welcome Jack to the world with some newborn photos, and meet some new neighbors. Their home was perfect for photos, and we popped into almost every room!

Pittsburgh Family Photoshoot on the North Shore

I love the idea of celebrating an anniversary with a family session! It was such a great way to show how the family grows. After we took some photos with the kids, they went home with grandma so we could focus on just the two of them.

Fall Oakland Engagement Session | Sarah & Colin

Sarah told me that they wanted to just have fun for their engagements, so we frolicked through the tall grasses in Schenley Park. The best photos always happen when you’re willing to act silly and just go with the flow. We ended their session at Mellon Park, which is timeless for a Pittsburgh engagement.

We were all over the place for Rebekah & David’s wedding photos! Some of my favorites include the columns in Oakland and outside of Phipps! Their family was very involved, and it was lovely to include them in some on-location photos.
