Maria and Brian’s Engagement Photographs at Schenley Plaza
Maria and Brian are having a busy year! They’ve graduated from college, bought a house, got a puppy, and are busy planning their wedding for a very popular date next May. Even though they are having a busy year, they are still making time for their families and spending lots of time together. For their engagement session, they brought their new puppy, Ruby, to take a few photos in the first moments of our shoot. When we scheduled their engagement shoot over the summer, I didn’t know I would be the one who had to ask to reschedule their session. On the original date, I was summoned to help a…

Jessi and Justin’s Engagement Photos at Hartwood Acres
Can you be high school sweethearts with someone you met after graduation? Jessi and Justin are high school sweethearts.

I have known Justin for a…

When I spoke with them about planning their wedding photography, Stephanie even referred to their wedding as a “a performance” and designated one area of their ceremony space “backstage.” When it came to the actual wedding day, I’m sure all of their stage and performance experience helped them to be prepared, but they exhibited a range or…

Sarah and Chris’s Wedding at Saint Vincent Basilica Parish
Another wedding from my future associate shooter, Nicki Dembski. Since I wasn’t there for this wedding, I’m going to let her tell you about it. “Rain Rain Go Away! It poured down rain on Sarah and Chris’s wedding day. It was one of those Pittsburgh rain kind of days. Sometimes, it looks like it’s going to rain all day, and it does. Most couples fear rain on their wedding day, but smiles never left Sarah and Chris’s face. I first met Sarah and Chris when I photographed Sarah’s best friend’s wedding earlier this year. Like their friends, Sarah and Chris are adorable together. They were married in a Catholic ceremony…
