They were kind enough to invite me down to their place in Cincinnati for engagement photos. I’m kind of obsessed with the locations they picked. Can we just move Ault Park to Pittsburgh? Because that would be nice. Sunrise there was absolutely unreal.

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!

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.

Mt. Washington & The Point Engagement Session | Whitney & Ian

What better way to start a photoshoot than a picnic and champagne in the back of a pickup overlooking the city skyline! After enjoying a glass (or two), we headed down to grab some epic shots at Smithfield Street bridge, before wrapping things up at the Point.

Maura & Lexi were such a joy to photograph! I cannot wait until their wedding next year. If it is this full of love and laughter, it is going to be an amazing celebration!

A photogenic pup, lots of laughter, and a Chicago sunset makes this session a standout! I hadn’t been back to Chicago since the wedding I captured there in 2018. Beth & James wanted my favorite spot in the city for their pictures, Lincoln Park. It is a natural and gorgeous setting, with the perfect view of the skyline in the background.

Michael reached out to me about planning out a romantic surprise proposal to his long term girlfriend Hsaio. They take photos together a lot, so planning it to happen during a photoshoot just made sense. Throw in exploring a new place while staying socially distant - and there you have it!

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!
