Pittsburgh Lifestyle Newborn Session | Jack
This family was a referral from some current clients of mine, and it turns out they live less than a mile from my home! It was so nice to both welcome Jack to the world with some newborn photos, and meet some new neighbors. Their home was perfect for photos, and we popped into almost every room!
Pittsburgh Family Photoshoot on the North Shore
I love the idea of celebrating an anniversary with a family session! It was such a great way to show how the family grows. After we took some photos with the kids, they went home with grandma so we could focus on just the two of them.
Fall Oakland Engagement Session | Sarah & Colin
Sarah told me that they wanted to just have fun for their engagements, so we frolicked through the tall grasses in Schenley Park. The best photos always happen when you’re willing to act silly and just go with the flow. We ended their session at Mellon Park, which is timeless for a Pittsburgh engagement.

Their wedding was styled with beautiful, pastel florals, and rustic decor. Many personal touches lined the entry, including a handmade bench made from wood reclaimed from their family's old barn, hand painted signs, and more. They even had a cigar bar for after dinner.

HELP! How to Prevent Wedding Day Disasters | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer
Let's talk frankly - on your wedding day, something is going to go wrong. It always does. There's a lot of moving parts to a wedding, and sometimes things just happen. However, if you're prepared, this doesn't have to be a big deal. Usually the issues that arise are minor, and easily remedied. To help you get ready, here are some tips keeping things running smoothly!
Step ONe: Wedding Timeline
Part of having everything go smoothly is having a well thought out wedding timeline (which is why I meet with my clients two weeks before the big day to finalize the details!). If you have a wedding planner, they'll be with you for this! If you're doing it on your own, make sure you ask your vendors how much time they'll need for their part of your day. For example, talk to your hair & makeup artist. How long will they need for each bridesmaid, the moms, and you? Then build in a buffer (at least 15 min) in case things run over! For photography, I prefer we build in 2 hours for pictures (1/2 hour for family formals, 1/2 hour for wedding party, 1/2 hour for the couple!, 1/2 hour for travel/buffer). For photography, this can be split up throughout the day if you plan on sneaking out of the reception for sunset pictures or if you're doing a first look. Be on the look out for a photographer's ideal timeline - coming soon to the blog!
step two: put someone in charge
When something inevitably goes wrong (again, its usually minor!), having someone in charge (who is NOT you) makes a big difference in how quickly it can be fixed. If you've hired a wedding planner, they'll be the go-to on your big day to handle these issues. If you didn't, put someone in charge! This can be your Mom, your maid of honor, or just a close friend that you feel would be able to handle things. Give that person all your vendors contact information, and make sure your vendors know who your point person is! This keeps you from adding more stress on your wedding day!
Step three: Pack an Emergency kit
The day of your wedding, you're going to need some things. Pack a small bag in advance that has everything you might need. If you don't end up using it - great! If you do, you'll be glad you prepared. Make sure your point person for the day is in charge of it!
Here's some things to consider packing. Depending on your day, you may need more or less!
- Sewing kit - many a button has fallen off during weddings!
- Stain removal pen - if something falls on your dress before the ceremony, you may need this
- Advil (or your preferred pain reliever)
- Hem tape & safety pins
- Tissues
- Deodorant wipes - works better & easier than a traditional deodorant when you have your dress on
- Wisps- remember those mini toothbrushes with breath fresheners on them? Super helpful!
- Blotting paper - especially for a summer wedding
- Nail file
- Makeup - especially your lip color for touch-ups throughout the night
- KrazyGlue - you never know!
- Earring backs
- Antacid
- Hairspray (travel sized)
- Lens wipes - if you have glasses (cake getting on glasses is hard to get out!)
- Tampons or sanitary napkins
- Lint roller
- Hand sanitizer
- Tweezers
If you don't want to purchase all these items and make your own bag, there are many different "Bridal Emergency Kits" you can buy online! This is one of my favorites, but there are plenty of options to choose from!
STEP FOUR: RELAX!
The most important thing you can do for yourself on your wedding day is to relax. Yes, some things may go wrong. However, what's important is you marrying the love of your life! Let go of the little things, and focus on being present with your new spouse! Enjoy your day, and celebrate your relationship!
PS: A massage a few days before your wedding can help too!

Bianca and Pete met in Sewickley through friends. They actually went to the same high school a few years apart. They picked out her engagement ring together, and the jeweler called her when it was ready for pick up (oops!). Pete proposed to her on their front porch last May.

Heather & Scott | A Betsy's Barn Wedding | Pittsburgh, PA
Heather and Scott got married at Betsy's Barn, a gorgeous, rustic venue near McConnells Mill. Their friends and family were all smiles throughout the evening; I think many of them had been waiting on this day for a long time! Heather and Scott met for the first time in 1st grade! They dated for a while in middle school, but Scott broke her heart with a folded note (tsk tsk). However, they remained friends, and began dating again towards the end of high school. When Scott proposed, they had been together for 10 years!!!
Their wedding had many little details, including hand-lettered place cards, unique succulent bouquets, creative signs, and a sparkler exit. Thank you to the amazing vendors who helped create their day, and congratulations to Heather & Scott!!!
