Phipps Senior Portraits | Cori
Phipps Senior Portraits | Cori
Cori absolutely rocked her senior portraits! We had such gorgeous weather, and it made it all the more fun. We started out the session at Mellon Park, which is timeless for a garden style. Of course we had to pop by Phipps to finish things up. Their entrance florals this year were incredible, definitely one of the best displays they’ve had.
Phipps & North Shore Senior Portraits | Lindsey
Lindsey wanted a combination of flowers and classic Pittsburgh for her senior portraits, so we had to start things off at Phipps. Their front lawn is always a gorgeous array of colors. Her mom even made that awesome 2023 sign to celebrate her senior year! Another high school senior we ran into borrowed if for a shot, haha.
We finished things off on the North Shore with some epic night shots as well. You know those are always my favorites.
Intimate Wedding at Home | John & May
While planning a wedding during Covid has has had many challenges, it has brought some interesting changes in the industry - namely, smaller, more intimate celebrations! I was blessed to have been able to capture this quiet home-based celebration with John and May this summer. The ceremony was held in their front room with just very close friends and family.
Rustic Summer Wedding | Linell & Brent
Linell & Brent had an intimate wedding at Brent’s family home. The ceremony took place in front of the oak tree where Brent spent his childhood playing. Most of their details were DIY, from the florals (trader joes!) to the decor and more.
The pizza food truck was a great addition too - what better food for a wedding reception than wood fired pizzas!?
St. Kilian's and DoubleTree Cranberry Wedding | Shelby & Anthony
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!
Sewickley Heights Park Engagements | Rachel & Henry
Sewickley Heights Park Engagements | Rachel & Henry
Since these two amazing people are from out of town, we had to sneak in their engagement session at sunrise on a holiday weekend. Give them major props for being willing to not only get up at the crack of dawn, but get up and get ready for the camera!
Sheraton at Station Square Wedding | Steph & Dan
Steph & Dan had a beautiful wedding day! Their ceremony was at St. Bonaventure, which ended with a fun ribbon wand exit. Then we headed over to Washington's Landing for portraits. Unfortunately, the rain chased us back onto the bus for about 20 minutes, but luckily we were running ahead of schedule and had time to wait out the storm! Steph changed into tennis shoes, and was able to climb up the bridge for some amazing shots. Then we partied the night away at the Sheraton.
Tam & Randall | A Phipps Conservatory Wedding
Tam & Randall got married on a rainy July afternoon in a quiet ceremony. They were surrounded by friends and family. It was intimate and beautiful. After the ceremony, we focused on their family pictures, because a month before, we had already done their formal portraits! The focus of the day was on the two of them and their families. I've been holding onto their pictures for a month, so now I get to share!
