Rainy Pittsburgh Engagement Session | Sam and Curt
These two flew in from out of state for this engagement session, so there was no rescheduling even with the threat of thunderstorms. By the end of the shoot, there actually ended up being a tornado warning! We dealt with some crazy downpours, but had enough breaks to get some great images. To start things off, we switched locations to the Columns in Oakland to have a spot with some cover. It ended up being a great option with Sam’s gorgeous dress! Sometimes it is fun to dance in the rain.
Fun Bloomfield Engagement Session | Cass and Tyler
These two were all laughs throughout the entire engagement session. I knew it was a start of a fun day. We went to the Bloomfield/Garfield area of Pittsburgh to grab some shots at their favorite date night location, and grab whatever murals we could along the way. We wrapped up in Oakland at a bar they were often at while in college. Doesn’t get more authentic than this!
Point State Park Engagement Session
I love a fun mini engagement session, especially when it is in a classic Pittsburgh location like the Point. Even though the fountain was already off for the season, it is still a great option for yellow bridges, skyline views, and a park vibe.
Cincinnati Engagement Session | Kim & Greg
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!
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.
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.
Mexican War Streets Engagement | Maura & Lexi
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!
