Victorian Themed Senior Session | Miranda

I’ve been so excited to share these. Miranda is into all things Victorian, so for her senior portraits we had to do something special. She wore a Victorian gown, and we took photos at some of the beautiful homes from that era in Pittsburgh. Our first stop was Mansions on Fifth for their beautiful stained glass and grand staircase. Then we were lucky enough to be granted permission to photograph outside this private home in Highland Park. I feel like the whole shoot was out of a movie. Miranda is most likely going to college for some type of historic preservation, and I can see why!

Raven's Rock WV Engagement Session | Karah & Ian

We drove all the way down to Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia to find the perfect cliff-top view for Karah & Ian’s engagement session. Together, we hiked out to the edge and watched the sunset over the mountains. By the time we finished, we had to hike half the trail in the dark! Good thing we brought flashlights just in case.

Cafe Delhi Wedding | Puneeta & Amrit

Puneeta & Amrit were a joy to work with. They were married at 6:30 in the morning at Cafe Delhi in Carnegie, and we did most of their portraits at nearby Carnegie Park. I had a smile on my face throughout their entire day. When you see their portraits, you can’t help but to smile. Happiness radiates from them.

Sacred Heart & Twentieth Century Club Wedding | Sophie & Ben

This ceremony has to be one of my favorites. First, Sacred Heart in Shadyside is an absolutely beautiful church. The chapel off the main sanctuary just lights up when the sun hits the stained glass. Sophie & Ben’s ceremony started off with the bells being rung. They rang so loudly you could feel it in your chest. Then the a cappella choir began. It was solemn and beautiful.

Phipps & North Shore Senior Session | Amelia

When we pulled into Phipps to start Amelia’s senior session, it began to rain. The forecast said 0% chance, but that is Pittsburgh for you! Luckily, it stopped quickly, and the rest of the session was amazing. We were able to stop at Phipps, the Point, and the North Shore to grab some great photos. The sunset was incredible!

St Mary of the Mount & Sheraton at Station Square Wedding | Erika & Kevin

Oh my gosh. These two. This day was so much fun. Everyone in their family was a joy to be around. You’ll be able to tell when you see these reception photos. The dance floor was lit!

For their photos, we went to Emerald View Park on Mt. Washington. It is just a little spot, but I love this view of the city. We were able to really capture Pittsburgh in their photos.
