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.

Eric & Brad had a beautiful wedding ceremony at Heinz HIstory Center. It was full of little details all about them. My personal favorites were the city neighborhood table names, and the lego details in the name cards and cake!

Crystal & Joe changed their wedding plans to a small and private elopement up at Cooks Forest to avoid the big gathering and keep health and safety top-of-mind during the pandemic. Their portraits were filled with fun hikes through the woods, and their party was a ton of fun! We ended with one of the most epic cake smashes I’ve ever seen.

You may remember Beth & James from their magical Chicago engagement session from last year. Their golden retriever likes to steal the show a little, and that trend continued through their wedding! They had a bright and light ceremony at the Energy Innovation Center. Julie Renee Events pulled all the decor together and it turned out amazing!

Maddie & Manny had me there to capture their small wedding at Heinz Chapel, followed by running around Pittsburgh capturing their portraits. It was a fun day with lots of beautiful stops. You can’t go wrong with the Columns and Washington’s Landing!

Taylor was all about the details during her wedding! She surprised me with having matching elements to her details all ready for me on-site when I arrived. It allowed us to create these magical flat-lays of the wedding pieces.

This intimate and beautiful wedding was so fun to capture. There was a threat of rain all day long, and we were actually able to even capture a brief thunderstorm in their portraits. Luckily, the rain cleared in time to have their perfect outdoor ceremony.

These two actually ended up getting married last year in a small, intimate wedding up on the overlook at Mt. Washington due to Covid. Wedding planning during a pandemic makes everything a little more challenging. They were excited to celebrate their vows with all their family and friends this year at the Priory.
