North Shore & Mt. Washington Engagement | Lily & Kevin

When your clients are ballroom dancers, you get extra epic photos with many, many lifts. Also, can I just say that I love this combination of locations? Allegheny Commons Park always gets the best light, and then we ended with classic Pittsburgh spots to grab that beautiful skyline. Sometimes it is great to be a photographer in PIttsburgh!

Allegheny Commons Park Engagement Session | Samantha & Tim

Samantha & Tim had the sweetest sunset engagement session at one of my favorite Pittsburgh parks - Allegheny Commons. The area right behind the Aviary is so gorgeous at the end of the say. You can just see the hints of the skyline over the trees, and Lake Elizabeth is a fun water feature. Can’t wait to celebrate their wedding!

Bartlett Country Club Wedding | Dustin & Vicki

These two started off their wedding day with a run in the rain with their friends and family. It was a cold morning, but you couldn’t tell by looking at them. The group was all smiles. Even though the morning was rainy, the sun came out for the rest of the day! It was a beautiful wedding, and I’m so glad my husband and I were able to capture it.

Raven's Rock WV Engagement Session | Karah & Ian

We drove all the way down to Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia to find the perfect cliff-top view for Karah & Ian’s engagement session. Together, we hiked out to the edge and watched the sunset over the mountains. By the time we finished, we had to hike half the trail in the dark! Good thing we brought flashlights just in case.

Phipps & North Shore Senior Session | Amelia

When we pulled into Phipps to start Amelia’s senior session, it began to rain. The forecast said 0% chance, but that is Pittsburgh for you! Luckily, it stopped quickly, and the rest of the session was amazing. We were able to stop at Phipps, the Point, and the North Shore to grab some great photos. The sunset was incredible!

Remember that time a bird pooped on the groom right before the photos? No? Take a look!

I’m so grateful for chill couples that just roll with it, even when a pigeon craps on your suit. Marissa’s face says it all! The rest of the day was amazing, and ended with a gorgeous sunset over the city. Heinz History Center has some pretty amazing views.

Strip District Senior Session | Parker

Parker rocked his senior session in the Strip. We searched out murals & alleys to get the best spots, but my personal favorite was when Parker insisted on showcasing some classic Pittsburgh industrial spots. We ended the session with a sunset that may be one of the best I’ve seen this year.
