Haley & Jared: McConnell's Mill Engagement Photos

It was such a treat to get to photograph Haley & Jared at McConnell's Mill during such a beautiful fall season! Haley & Jared are getting married next year at Shady Elms Farm.

They met while at Robert Morris University and had a few classes that overlapped while they studied their respective majors there. It was so easy to see the love these two have for each other... and it made my job so easy!

How perfect are their outfits for the beautiful fall backdrop?! The red dress against the colorful leaves was just

Congratulations on your engagement, you two!

Elaina Z: Chartier's Valley High School Senior Photos

Meet Elaina! She is a Chartier's Valley senior who is a majorette, and loves people! She is so bubbly, so easy to talk to, and was so much fun to photograph last night around Hartwood Mansion.

She brought four goooorgeous outfits that popped so well against our backdrops And she also brought a bouquet of flowers to use in her photos... which added such a beautiful pop of color! Her mom actually sent their florist photos of Elaina's outfits, and she designed this bouquet for her based off of her outfits (such a great idea!).

Congratulations on your senior year Elaina!

Amelia & Paul: Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden Proposal Photos

One of the best proposals I've ever gotten to photograph My little brother proposing to his now fiancé!

Paul pulled off an epic surprise proposal back in September of 2024 in Charolette, NC! I am so honored to have been able to be the one to photograph such a sweet moment for these two!

I know I'm biased... but all of the thought that went into this proposal was so incredible! Paul had Amelia's friend from Pittsburgh come into town and bring her to the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Unbeknownst to Amelia, Paul was waiting in one of the areas of the garden for her! After he proposed, Amelia's mom & my mom popped out to surprise her too!

THEN Paul went a step further and made sure to bring a dress for Amelia to change into after the proposal for photos, and planned a surprise engagement party later that day with her friends to celebrate!

And yes... my mom and I drove through the hurricane weather to get there. We had quite the eventful time... but it was all worth it I am so excited for these two!!! Congratulations Paul & Amelia - love you both!

Preston's mom is an incredible Pittsburgh wedding photographer, so I was honored that she asked me to take his photos.
