Pittsburgh Winter Engagement | Kristen & Brett
Pittsburgh Winter Engagement | Kristen & Brett
I love a good engagement session in the winter season. Snow on the ground just makes for amazing portraits. Throw in a stop to Millie’s Ice Cream and the Point, and you know it is going to be epic. Plus their puppy made an appearance!
Riverfront & North Shore Engagements | Emily & Matthew
Aspinwall Riverfront Park is such a cool blend of nature and industrial. Add some winter weather vibes, and you have Emily & Matthew’s engagement session! It was a chilly day for photo, but well worth it to get that pop of snow and light in the background.
Can you believe she made it through a two hour shoot with those shoes? That is mad bravery.
I’m especially thrilled with how their night shots up on Mt. Washington came out. With the leaves being off the trees, you really get a great view of the city lights.
North Park Portraits | Tracy Family
On one of those picture perfect snowy days, I met the Tracy family in North Park to update their family photos. They are a fun loving bunch that were so easy to work with. Snowball fights were had, and gorgeous pictures were taken. We even got to see a bald eagle flying around!
Seven Oaks Country Club Wedding | Kate & Dave
Katie & Dave had a chilly winter day for their wedding. They powered through pictures outside. Other than the shivering & goosebumps, you could hardly tell they were cold!
Since we all road together to get to the first look location, the groomsmen took great pleasure in blindfolding Dave so that he couldn’t catch an early glimpse of his bride-to-be. Getting him on and off the bus was a challenge, but made for some great moments. The look on his face when he saw Kate for the first time made the wait worth it.
Pittsburgh Engagement Session | Allison & Ron
Allison & Ron's session was a little uncertain, because we wanted to focus on downtown & PNC Park, but the North Shore kept getting flooded! Luckily, by the time their shoot rolled around, there were only a few puddles left on the sidewalks (and lots of mud). We ended up with a bright & sunny day to explore - and explore we did! We walked all over the North Shore, downtown, and even drove up to Mt. Washington to end the night.
Faith & Brad | A Happy Days Lodge Wedding
I first met Faith & Brad when I photographed their proposal back in May (click here to see the pictures!). They are such a wonderful couple, and a joy to photograph, so I was thrilled when they reached out about photographing their wedding!
Laura & Ryan | A Crowne Plaza Suites Pittsburgh South Wedding
Laura & Ryan are the sweetest, most hard-working people. A week after their wedding, they BOTH finished up MBAs - how crazy is that!? For their wedding, they went with a winter/glam vibe, especially apparent in the champagne & gold decor, fur wrap, and abundant candles at their reception. I loved every second of it. You could just see how much they love each other.
