2019 Round Up | Wedding Night Shots

So, you guys know that I love sneaking out and taking some photos after dark. It adds drama, and is that ‘wow’ shot that can be a showstopper. Plus, it is something a little different and gives the newly married couple a moment alone during the busy wedding day. Here are the best of 2019.

Laughter, smiles, hats, bubble gum, night shots, and a smoke bomb!? How much more magical can a senior portrait session be? Emily could not stop grinning from ear to ear during her shoot.

Rachel Senior Session | The Strip District

Rachel wanted something different and unique for her senior portraits. We talked about ideas all over Pittsburgh, but ended up settling on a mix of traditional portraits at Phipps, followed by an epic nighttime location in the Strip District.

I've done many sessions in the Strip, but the shots taking place all after dark were certainly a new one for me! The graffiti and alleyways have a different tone to them when they're only lit by my flash. I love how this shoot turned out!

Sarah & Jon | A North Shore & Point State Park Engagement

Sarah and Jon wanted photos with the city in the background, but we ended up with so much more.  The sunset that night rivaled that on any beach!  It was incredible.  They also brought their two adorable six-month old puppies.

Sarah & Jon | A North Shore & Point State Park Engagement

Sarah and Jon wanted photos with the city in the background, but we ended up with so much more.  The sunset that night rivaled that on any beach!  It was incredible.  They also brought their two adorable six-month old puppies.  It was definitely a challenge to get them to pose nicely for the camera, but the candid shots while we attempted to get them to sit in once place more than made up for it.

Jovanna & Troy | An Oakland Engagement

Jovanna & Troy | An Oakland Engagement

When we met to plan out Jovanna & Troy's engagement session, they had an idea in mind.  They wanted snow, and they especially wanted a shot in front of Soldiers & Sailors with snow falling around them.  The day before their shoot, Pittsburgh had perfect snow flurries falling down.  The day of their shoot - nothing.  Even the snow that was on the ground started melting!  Pittsburgh weather is notoriously fickle.

Even though we couldn't capture that particular shot, they still braved the cold (really cold) wind around Phipps for their engagement session.  We were able to warm up during their more formal shots at the Cathedral of Learning.  We even lucked out and got to experience a concert in the Common Room!  

They absolutely rocked their entire session.  Usually I give some posing tips, but these two seemed like pros!  Can you tell?  

Congrats!

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?

Be on the lookout for my favorite golden hour (sunset) shots next!  Happy Holidays!
