Erin & Ben: The Frick Engagement Photos

Engagement photos are extra cozy when it's near 20°F outside Erin & Ben didn't seem to let it phase them one bit!

These two met through Ben's sister - Erin was a friend of hers before her and Ben started dating! They got engaged last year, the day before Valentine's Day, and now they are getting married this year!

And, unless we get a surprise snow storm over the summer, I think the weather will be just a tad warmer 😉 Congratulations on your engagement, Erin & Ben! So excited to photograph your wedding day!

Casey & Danny: St. Vincent College Engagement Photos

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of traveling to St. Vincent College (in Latrobe) to photograph Casey & Danny’s engagement photos - and I had an absolute blast with them! They are two of the sweetest people and I am so completely honored to be taking their wedding photos next year!!! ❤️

These are no ordinary engagement photos... these photos and their locations represent so many sweet moments for Casey & Danny! The bench where they had their first date, where they got engaged... the pathways they walked getting to know each other better...

And now, the location where they had their engagement photos taken! It was so much fun to have a little walk down memory lane with these two at a place that is so special to both of them. And not only that... they are two of the sweetest people you'll ever meet! Casey & Danny, it was such an honor to take these photos for you. Congratulations on your engagement, and I can't wait to celebrate you both on your wedding day!

Kuntal & Josh: Pittsburgh Engagement Photos

I had the loveliest evening a few weeks ago exploring the North Side & North Shore with these two!

Both originally from the West Coast, Kuntal & Josh met during medical school in Michigan. They were good friends for a good period of time before they started dating nearly a year ago, after they had both moved to Pittsburgh for the next steps in their medical careers & education.

Because Pittsburgh holds so many sweet memories for them as a couple, they decided to have their engagement photos taken here in some iconic Pittsburgh-esque locations before their wedding on the West coast this winter. They brought two drop-dead-gorgeous pairs of outfits that popped so well from their chosen scenery of the Mexican War Streets, Allegheny Commons Park, and North Shore Riverwalk!

These two are kind, intelligent, and so easy to get along with - what a blessing it was to photograph them!

Congratulations on your engagement, Kuntal & Josh!

Jackie & Gerald: Coffee Date, Pastry Fight, & Summer Garden Engagement

On any given weekend, you will most likely find this pair at one of their favorite bakeries, brunch spots, cafes, restaurants, or - even better - finding a new spot to explore! So of course, for their engagement session, we had to visit a few of their favorite locations to capture them in their natural habitat, including the incredible Biddle's Escape & Madeleine Bakery & Bistro, who were gracious enough to allow us to use their little outdoor areas for some photos!

And WOW did we have a good time! I will admit - it was hot, it was sticky, and we all sustained various amounts of bug bites, but it was truly so SO worth it to get to capture this amazing pair - who, I have to mention, were SO natural in front of the camera! Their love, admiration, and respect for each other made them a complete joy to photograph.

Jackie & Gerald... we are so thankful for you! Thank you a million times for letting me walk alongside you in this season of your lives!

Anna & Henry: Cleland Rock & Moraine State Park Engagement Photos

This engagement session has it all - a dog, flowers, water, fields, and a gorgeous couple who is totally and completely in love!

Anna & Henry have been together for about three and a half years, and are tying the knot next year at one of my favorite venues - the White Barn! They love the beach and have the cutest little pup named Fin, who joined us for some photos!

Congratulations on your engagement, Anna & Henry! I am so excited to photograph your wedding day next year!!

Caitlin & Tanner: Point State Park & North Shore Engagement

Caitlin & Tanner have been married for almost two years, but are finally getting to have their big celebration with friends and family in just a few months here in Pittsburgh! And yes - these two had a small wedding ceremony and started planning their big reception for a few years down the line before it was a thing. Talk about starting a trend 😉

So of course, we had to take some late engagement/anniversary photos featuring their now-hometown!

Cannot wait to celebrate you two so soon!!!!

Haley & John: Summer North Park Engagement Photos

Haley and John met at a Panera Bread, of all places - they met in line while ordering their food, ended up striking up a conversation, sitting together, and have been inseparable ever since! John popped the question just last month while they were in Erie, and I had the honor of celebrating with them by taking their engagement photos this past month! And let me tell you - they were sooo easy to photograph! So sweet, and so in love. Not to mention North Park was looking especially beautiful with all of its gorgeous golden light!

Congratulations on your engagement, Haley & John! I couldn't be more excited to photograph your wedding day!

Courtney & Matt: Succop Nature Park Engagement Photos

It is a JOY to be able to share this couple’s engagement photos and story - and it was even more of a joy to get to spend an evening with them at Succop Nature Park in Butler!

Courtney and Matt went to the same high school and were both involved in the band program. However, their paths didn’t cross until they were both invited back to that very same school to teach! After the band performed one night at Kennywood’s Fall Fantasy Parade, they both stayed after the Parade to go on some rides with a few other staff members - then rode back to the school in Matt’s car. They exchanged numbers at some point throughout the evening, and started talking from there… and never stopped!

Matt popped the question on March 13, 2021 - the one year anniversary of the day the world shut down, due to Covid. What a beautiful way to make the anniversary of something dark so much brighter! And now, these two are getting married next year, surrounded by their friends & family.

Courtney and Matt, I could not be more excited to be a part of your beautiful wedding day. Thank you so, SO much for the privilege of walking alongside you two during this season of your lives! ❤️

Bridget & Sean: North Shore Pittsburgh Engagement Photos

Bridget & Sean wanted a true Pittsburgh session, and there was hardly a better place than the North Shore! We had an absolute blast hanging out with these two and exploring along the riverwalk. Even better… we had a cloudy day for their photos, which was sooo helpful with this particular location… it usually gets blasted with afternoon light, but fortunately, the clouds created a beautiful, diffused glow on the city!

However, this perfectly lit engagement session didn’t happen without a few obstacles that we had to overcome!

First, we found out there was an event happening at our original location (Point State Park) that would make it near impossible to get photos without crowds in the background. So, we changed our game plan for the location. Then, the weather forecast started to get worse and worse as the day went on… the rain went back and forth, then back and forth again - so we opted to move the session up by an hour or so to try and beat the rain, which was definitely a must, since Bridget was driving a few hours in from out of town! But in the end, I was so thankful that this sweet couple was willing to be so flexible and roll with the unexpected punches… and I am so excited about the images that we were able to get!

Congratulations on your engagement, Bridget & Sean! I couldn’t be more excited for your wedding day next year! ❤️

Cierra & Hunter: Pittsburgh Engagement Photos

Talk about a Pittsburgh engagement session! While Cierra and Hunter aren’t Pittsburgh natives, they did want to capture the beauty of the city they currently call home in their engagement photos… and in the place where they will be saying “I do!” So of course, Point State Park & the North Shore provided the perfect backdrops for their engagement session, not to mention some gorgeous light! We had the absolute BEST evening hanging out with these two, who truly felt like fast friends. Congratulations on your engagement, Cierra & Hunter!! ☺️
