Taylor and Christian decided on Oakland for their engagement shoot.  We traveled all over, from inside the Cathedral of Learning, to Phipps, to the columns, to Panther Hollow.  We hiked trails, enjoyed the sunshine, and had a ton of fun.

Maggie and Nate wanted a nature-inspired shoot, and there is no better place to go for that than North Park.  We had a perfect day, and managed to incorporate the lake, a waterfall, a field, woods, and more into their session.  Pretty impressive for being out for only two hours!  They hiked all over the park (and may have driven a little too) to get to the perfect spots. I'm so happy with how the session turned out!

Jourdan & Vince are getting married next month.  Luckily, we managed to sneak in an engagement session, just under the wire!  They wanted to capture an authentic, Pittsburgh shoot, so we went to a few classic locations - Phipps and Mt. Washington.

Nicole and Patrick were determined to have their engagement photos taken during Pittsburgh's annual Arts Fest, and I am so thankful it worked out!  One of the coolest exhibits during this year's show was a sidewalk covered by rainbow umbrellas....

Jim started planning his proposal over six months ago.  He started talking about it with me about three months ago.  Two weeks ago, Jim and I met to go over the final details.  When we met, you could see how anxious he was for the proposal to go perfectly.

I met Tracy last year, when I photographed her son's senior pictures.  This September, Tracy is getting married to a wonderful guy named Eddie.  I'm so happy she chose me to capture this special moment. Tracy & Eddie decided on the Strip District, with a quick trip into the city to get a shot by their future venue, Hotel Monaco.  The images turned out beautifully, and I'm so excited to see what their wedding will be like in a few short months!

Heather and Joe are getting married next month up in Erie.  We were a little late getting their engagement session completed, but it was worth the wait.  Saturday afternoon, I was so excited to head out to State College for their session.  It was an easy and beautiful drive through the hills of Pennsylvania.....

When it came time for Nikki & Phil's engagement shoot, we had to call and reschedule due to rain and thunderstorms.  The next go around, it looked like rain again!  This time we decided to chance it, and met in Market Square downtown. Of course it poured on us, but we made the most of it, and captured some amazing shots.  By the time we headed to Mt. Washington, the sun had come out.
