Tam & Randall got married on a rainy July afternoon in a quiet ceremony.  They were surrounded by friends and family.  It was intimate and beautiful.  After the ceremony, we focused on their family pictures, because a month before, we had already done their formal portraits!  The focus of the day was on the two of them and their families. I've been holding onto their pictures for a month, so now I get to share!

Taylor and Christian decided on Oakland for their engagement shoot.  We traveled all over, from inside the Cathedral of Learning, to Phipps, to the columns, to Panther Hollow.  We hiked trails, enjoyed the sunshine, and had a ton of fun.

I had access to this GORGEOUS mansion in the Mexican War Streets for the morning, so I brought my friend Faith for a fun photoshoot.  We had two dresses from Rent the Runway, and three floors of abandoned goodness to work with.  There is so much character in the old homes of Pittsburgh. The detailing is incredible.  

Maggie and Nate wanted a nature-inspired shoot, and there is no better place to go for that than North Park.  We had a perfect day, and managed to incorporate the lake, a waterfall, a field, woods, and more into their session.  Pretty impressive for being out for only two hours!  They hiked all over the park (and may have driven a little too) to get to the perfect spots. I'm so happy with how the session turned out!

Gold, glitter, elegance - those three words perfectly describe Jourdan and Vincent's Heinz Chapel wedding. The reception at the Double Tree in Moon Twp was a dream.  The ballroom was exquisitely decorated and lit, providing the perfect setting for their day.  Watching them together, you could just see how much these two love each other.  

Tim & Joey had a stunning wedding at the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium.  This was my first time shooting there, and I was amazed at the beauty of the venue, which was enhanced by their decor.  Everything was timeless.  

Jourdan & Vince are getting married next month.  Luckily, we managed to sneak in an engagement session, just under the wire!  They wanted to capture an authentic, Pittsburgh shoot, so we went to a few classic locations - Phipps and Mt. Washington.

Heather and Joe are the sweetest couple.  They met at Penn State, and were together a long time before they tied the knot.  In true Penn State fashion, we shot their engagement photos at Penn State Main, and they were married at Smith Chapel on Behrend College.
