St. Kilian's and DoubleTree Cranberry Wedding | Shelby & Anthony
These two high school sweethearts tied the knot on May 25th in a gorgeous ceremony at St. Kilian’s in Cranberry. Random aside, the last time I photographed a wedding at that church, it was with a different Anthony & Shelby! Small world!

They did their portraits at a little spot at Knob Hill Park were they hung out in high school. We were only attacked by one cicada. Seriously though, these two are absolutely adorable, and they had a gorgeous star themed wedding. Everyone had a blast.

Devin | A North Park Senior Session
Devin rocked this shoot. We went big, with smoke bombs, sunset photos, and night shots. We lucked out with amazing weather, and beautiful, golden-hour lighting that made the images really stand out.

Emily | A North Park Senior Session
Kicking off the first of many is Emily. She emailed me with a request for a boho-style shoot with a variety of backdrops. Of course the first place that came to mind was North Park, simply because of all the variety it has in one location. Waterfalls, the lake, woods, fields of grass, you name it. - it is all at North Park
Emily | A North Park Senior Session
Senior portraits is one of the types of photography I focus on. There is just something about that major life event that I love sharing in. This time of year is when I shoot most senior sessions. Heads up, because I have lots of senior blog posts coming soon!

For Emily's shoot, we even threw a smoke bomb in the mix. I love how the images came out!
Maggie & Nate | A North Park Engagement
Maggie and Nate wanted a nature-inspired shoot, and there is no better place to go for that than North Park. We had a perfect day, and managed to incorporate the lake, a waterfall, a field, woods, and more into their session. Pretty impressive for being out for only two hours! They hiked all over the park (and may have driven a little too) to get to the perfect spots. I'm so happy with how the session turned out!

Shelby & Anthony | A North Park Engagement | Pittsburgh
Shelby & ANthony | A north shore engagement | pittsburgh, PA
I met Shelby through one of my brides this year, Christina. So I had the pleasure of photographing her as part of the bridal party this summer! I like to think it made the engagement session a little more comfortable, since we already had worked together before!
No matter what the reason, Shelby & Anthony both came ready to have fun (even though it was 5 minutes after sunrise when we started!). They enthusiastically agreed to all my crazy ideas, including climbing onto a tree over the lake, and jumping down next to a creek (that I had almost fallen into moments before). It was all worth it for these amazing images. You just can't beat a foggy fall morning!
Allie & Steve | Richland Township Barn Wedding | Pittsburgh Weddings
Allie & Steve got married outside at the Richland Township Barn in the North Hill. Allie amazed me throughout the entire wedding planning process. Each time we talked about her plans I grew more and more impressed. She and Steve don't live in the area, so they were planning from out of town. On top of that Allie decided to DIY a lot of her wedding - not just decor. She made all the bouquets & boutonnieres, the decor for the venue & ceremony, and she even made their wedding cake (and it was so amaaaazing!).
During the wedding, she even managed to sneak in a surprise for Steve. Allie hired Bruster's to serve ice cream cones to all the guests in the evening. It was an incredible night of fun!

Sam & Natalya | At Phipps Conservatory and The Willow | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer
Sam and Natalya found me through mutual friends, and I'm so glad they did. They were expecting a new baby, so we actually did two shots - a separate portrait shoot in their wedding gear before their wedding, and then the big day itself.
For their pre-wedding portraits, we went around the North Shore and captured the city skyline in the background. Their actual wedding ceremony took place at Phipps Conservatory in Oakland. It is a gorgeous venue filled with more flowers than you can imagine. After their small, intimate ceremony, we went to their reception venue; a warm and cosy event space at The Willow.
