Point State Park Engagement Session
I love a fun mini engagement session, especially when it is in a classic Pittsburgh location like the Point. Even though the fountain was already off for the season, it is still a great option for yellow bridges, skyline views, and a park vibe.
McConnells Mill Engagement Session | Brittney & Robbie
Okay, can we talk about this dress!?!?!?! When Brittney sent me pictured of the dress she was planning to wear, I was in awe. The red is a great contrast against the forest, and we even lucked out with a little bit of snowfall at the end of the photoshoot. The outfit definitely brings in some drama! I can’t wait for their wedding this year.
2019 Round Up | Couples Portraits
Let’s celebrate love with a 2019 recap. First up, we are taking a look at all the beautiful couples photos from the past year.
2019 was amazing. I had the tremendous opportunity to travel to quite a few locations early this year to capture engagement photos, and (of course) had beautiful photo sessions right here in the Burgh. Here’s a look at my favorite images:
Alabama Hills & Mt. Whitney Engagement | Rachel & Ryan
Alabama Hills & Mt. Whitney Engagement | Rachel & Ryan
This is part two of this gorgeous couple’s engagement session. The first half took place on a beach in San Diego. For this sunrise session, we drove 5 hour outside of the city to capture the majesty of the mountains.
San Diego Engagement | Rachel & Ryan
Rachel & Ryan were incredible to work with. Let’s just start off by saying this is only part 1 of this session. Day 2 was all about the desert and the mountains! Be on the lookout next week.
We started at Torrey Pines overlooking the beach, taking advantage of the cliffs views. We then made the absolutely crazy & exhilarating hike down to the beach access, which included a pass through a small slot canyon, and using a rope to navigate a particularly steep rock face. I may have been covered head to toe in dirt by the end, but I had a smile on my face.
Paradise Island Bahamas | Kevin and Caitlin
These two love birds were so much fun on the beaches of Paradise Island. What’s better than your toes in the sand and the love of your life on your arm?
Also, I’m slightly obsessed with Kevin’s shirt. Pineapples? Yes please!
Colorado Engagement Session | Charlotte and Aaron
Colorado Engagement Session | Charlotte and Aaron
I had the opportunity to travel to Colorado last month to create incredible photos with Charlotte and Aaron. We hiked a few miles and came across some beautiful locations! One of my favorite spots included a very frozen Bierstadt lake, which this gorgeous couple stood on for some photos. It was a blast and I can’t wait to travel for more sessions in the future!
Carnegie Mellon Engagement Session | Yang and Denise
Denise and Yang braved the cold for their engagement session! Winter in Pittsburgh can be a challenging time for photos. But it also means less people are out, so it can be less awkward than trying to capture photos on a crowded day.
