West View Banquet Hall Wedding | Elizabeth & Dante
This was my first time at this venue, and it was perfect for Elizabeth & Dante’s large Pittsburgh wedding! I think the cookie table alone took up half the room - I had to take home a box. The venue is across the street from my studio, so we actually snuck over there for a few extra portraits of the two of them.
Shady Elms Wedding | Rachel & Dawson
Rachel & Dawson had a magical day. The weather was perfect for their outdoor ceremony. The bold colors were vibrant against the neutral backdrop of he barn. Later in the evening, they even braved going out in the canoe for some epic photos at sunset!
Sheraton at Station Square Wedding | Martina & Michael
Sheraton at Station Square Wedding | Martina & Michael
I’m obsessed with Martina & Michaels reception decorations. They are musicians, and their florals included instruments all around the room. They also performed multiple times during the evening, and it was incredible.
Sheraton at Station Square Wedding | Emily & Travis
Sheraton at Station Square Wedding | Emily & Travis
Emily and Travis were just the nicest couple, and they were up for anything! Their venue was being renovated, and I fell in love with a wall of drywall that was half-done. Luckily, Emily & Travis were both up for it, and using that wall as a backdrop made for some of my favorite new photos!
The Woods at Eisler Farms Wedding | Brianne & Dave
These two had a magical fairytale wedding in the forest - with beer. Not kidding, there was a separate beer truck and everything! Plus the tables were decorated with growlers from local breweries. Pretty amazing if you ask me.
It was my first time at this venue, and it is literally a dream if you love the outdoors. Beautiful woods, farm tables, a tented reception, and a ceremony overlooking a pond. They had a great sunset to end the day.
Rainy Wedding at the Priory | Salena & Adam
Urgh Pittsburgh weather. Sometimes it doesn’t want to cooperate for a wedding day. Luckily, Salena & Adam were laid-back and open to dancing in the rain! We can always make magic if you’re willing to get the dress wet. For portraits, we headed out to the Highline and captured pictures in the colorful buildings there. We stopped at Smithfield St Bridge on the way back, just to mix things up.
Of course, the rest of the wedding was at the Priory, which is a classic Pittsburgh venue. I always love lit backdrop for the indoor ceremony.
Salt Lake City Wedding | Sam & Curt
You all know how I LOVE to travel. While Covid put a damper on things for a while, now that the whole family is vaccinated, I was so ready to get back at it! We kicked it off in a big way with a week long vacation to capture Sam & Curt’s wedding in Salt Lake! It is such a gorgeous city surrounded by mountains.
These two celebrated with friends and family on the wedding day. Included were special touches with paintings and more. The day after, we adventured into the mountains to grab portraits of the two of them.
Winter Aviary Wedding | Alyssa & Christopher
Alyssa & Christopher’s wedding was my very first wedding back from maternity leave. And oh my goodness, what a way to kick off 2022! When you get to hang out with penguins, how can you go wrong. These two braved the cold for some gorgeous golden hour portraits, and then got married surrounded by birds, friends, and family. It was a joyous day. Also, still low-key obsessed with Alyssa’s dress. Love the ruffles.
