Strip District Senior Session | Emily

Emily chose the Strip District for her city senior session. We had to work around some of the construction that is happening on Smallman, but there were plenty of amazing spots open. At the tire-yard, we used both smokebombs and sparklers for some fun elements. Luckily, we ended up with an amazing sunset to cap off the night!

Casey & Fred | A White Barn Wedding

Casey and Fred got married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at the White Barn. All their decor was rustic, ideal for their venue. Their puppy, dressed in a full tuxedo, completely stole the spotlight during their formal pictures. Keep scrolling to see why! How much adorable can be in one photo!?!

Tim & Joey | A Pittsburgh Zoo Wedding

Tim & Joey had a stunning wedding at the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium.  This was my first time shooting there, and I was amazed at the beauty of the venue, which was enhanced by their decor.  Everything was timeless.  

Tim & Joey | A Pittsburgh Zoo Wedding

Tim & Joey had a stunning wedding at the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium.  This was my first time shooting there, and I was amazed at the beauty of the venue, which was enhanced by their decor.  Everything was timeless.  

We started of the evening with a first look at the zoo entrance, followed by a few shots at the sign where they got engaged.  Then an event coordinator for the zoo drove us around in a golf cart so that we were able to capture portraits in multiple locations.  The last stop was at the aquarium, where the ceremony & reception were held.

Cocktail hour overlooked the reception area, then the guests were seated at their tables for the ceremony.  Everything was amazing.  Towards the end of the reception we snuck out for a few night shots (with sparklers!).   From beginning to end, this wedding was magical.  Congrats Tim & Joey!

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.

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!

Kristen & Steve | The Gathering Place at Darlington Lake Wedding | Pittsburgh

Kristen and Steve were married at the Gathering Place at Darlington Lake.  It is a beautiful venue north of Pittsburgh overlooking the lake.  This couple is so much in love, and this wedding has been a long time coming.

Kristen and Steve were married at the Gathering Place at Darlington Lake.  It is a beautiful venue north of Pittsburgh overlooking the lake.  This couple is so much in love, and this wedding has been a long time coming.  You could just see it throughout the entire day.  I don't always cry at weddings, but I definitely had tears in my eyes for this one (when the groom cries, I always lose it!).  

While they didn't see each other before the ceremony, they had a letter exchange and were able to talk to each other.  It is always an emotional moment.  After the ceremony, their friends and family celebrated in style, with some epic dance moves.  Check it out!
