Anna and Ben’s Engagement Photos at Carnegie Mellon University
Anna and Ben met in college at Carnegie Mellon. Their first date was at a Pittsburgh Steelers Game. While they’ve been together for a few years while living in Pittsburgh, their relationship is about to go long distance as they separate for graduate school this fall. During one of the few moments they were in town, I met them for their engagement session at their alma mater. First stop for their engagement photo shoot was the Mellon Institute. I noticed this pattern of window light reflected on the Mellon Institute when I was at Carnegie Mellon, in 2001. I don’t know why it took me 10 years to photograph…

Therasa and Matt’s Love the Dress Session at the Beach
Therasa and Matt wanted to be married on a beach. From Pittsburgh, they traveled to Delaware to be near Matt’s family, just miles from Rehoboth Beach. While making plans for their beach wedding, they found that the wedding would be more stressful than fun. For them, it would have been to much stress to coordinate permitting, rentals, crowds and weather. So a farm wedding it was. Coming from Pittsburgh, this couple was not ready to miss an opportunity to be photographed on the beach. So we did! Shooting earlier than expected to avoid impending bad weather on Sunday after their wedding. Enjoy! If you’ve ever worn a wedding gown, you…

Nicole and JP’s Wedding’s at Quicksilver Golf Club | Pittsburgh Wedding Photography
Nicole and JP as so patient and kind. And fun. Their engagement photo shoot was fun, but it was no match for their fantastically fun wedding. They had one of the most and energetic receptions I’ve been to all year–probably due to all of their theater friends leading the celebrations all night! Nicole and JP were married in a Catholic ceremony at Holy Trinity Catholic Parish in Robinson Township followed by a reception full of family and friends at the Quicksilver Golf Club. Nicole was getting ready in her new place while JP was preparing at the church. I was with Nicole and her family during the very important wedding…
