Alissa and Mike’s Engagement Session on Pittsburgh’s North Shore

This post is brought to you by the letter M. Alissa and Mike sat next to each other during high school homeroom, both having last names that begin with the letter M. Thankfully, after years of casually saying “hello” to her in the mornings, Mike decided to talk to Alissa. Like all engagement stories that I write, this one has a happy ending because now they’re planning their wedding coming up in June of 2012.

I was very excited for this shoot. Mike’s family and my family are long time friends and I see him regularly around town and when we play flag football. Alissa and Mike were also attendants in Jess and Jason’s wedding, so I feel that I already know them very well. I met them for their engagement shoot at Pittsburgh’s North Shore near PNC Park and Heinz Field. Here are some of my favorite images from their shoot.

It’s impossible not to have a good time when you’re spending the evening with Alissa and Mike.

I don’t know if I have a favorite image from this shoot, but this one is in the running.

Thanks to Lily who cam out to assist me on the shoot!

Congratulations, Alissa and Mike!!!

I’ll see you this fall at Turkey Bowl.
