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!

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.

Lorena and Sam brought their cute puppy to their engagement session. I always love when pets come to the session. We started things out at Mellon Park - a photographer favorite for a reason. For some classic Pittsburgh, we ended the night at Washington’s Landing. I love this view of the city.

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!

Allegheny Commons Park, specifically the area behind the Aviary, is one of my favorite parks in the city. It is very close to the skyline views of the North Shore, but far enough away that you can get a true nature-vibe. Rohan rocked his session there with a suit-style to kick things off, and ended on a more casual note for night shots with the city background.

Lindsey wanted a combination of flowers and classic Pittsburgh for her senior portraits, so we had to start things off at Phipps. Their front lawn is always a gorgeous array of colors. Her mom even made that awesome 2023 sign to celebrate her senior year! Another high school senior we ran into borrowed if for a shot, haha.

We finished things off on the North Shore with some epic night shots as well. You know those are always my favorites.

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.

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.
