National Aviary Wedding | Angela & Jason

Angela & Jason’s wedding was absolute magic! I mean, I love an Aviary wedding - who doesn’t love when penguins are invited to the wedding! These two also gave a surprise performance of the last dance from the movie Dirty Dancing, and wow’d their guests! Afterwards, we snuck out to the lake for some epic night shots.

Downtown Pittsburgh Engagement Session | Alicia & Joe

These two wanted a date-night style engagement session, and our first choice of location happened to be closed. We were able to make a quick change and head to Revel & Roost in Market Square to capture happy hour images, and I LOVE how they came out! Then we finished out their session with rooftop night-shots.

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.

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!

North Shore & Mt. Washington Engagement | Lily & Kevin

When your clients are ballroom dancers, you get extra epic photos with many, many lifts. Also, can I just say that I love this combination of locations? Allegheny Commons Park always gets the best light, and then we ended with classic Pittsburgh spots to grab that beautiful skyline. Sometimes it is great to be a photographer in PIttsburgh!
