Garden on the Roof
I used to live a different life. Now I love being a wedding photographer in Pittsburgh. In that other life, I was working as an engineer for an architecture firm. There, I made some great friends who have since moved on (as I have) and started their own company. Origin4Design is a women-owned Landscape Architecture and Laser Scanning firm run by two of my great friends, Rebecca and Laura. Earlier this month, they asked me to photograph the roof garden of the Heinz 57 Center in downtown Pittsburgh. Rebecca had worked on the design of this space earlier in her career and wanted to showcase it among their new firm’s…

Trisha and Eric’s Wedding at South Hills Country Club
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of shooting Trisha and Eric’s Wedding at South Hills Country Club. This was not a wedding I had booked myself, but one I where was working as the second shooter for the lovely and talented Christina Montemurro. She posted some photos on Sunday and I didn’t want to make Trisha and Eric wait too long before sharing a few of my own. Christina was kind enough to join me for a few weddings last year, so I wanted to return the favor for her. It was definitely strange for me to work for shots when I didn’t have the bride and groom’s attention. With…

Please enjoy some of my favorite photos from their VERY fun wedding at Water’s Edge at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium. First, I joined Lisa, her maid of…

Briana and Tim’s Engagement Photos on a Farm
When I met Briana and Tim for an interview last December, I fell instantly in love with them. They love being outdoors and they (especially Briana) LOVE photography. Before I got a chance to show my sample wedding albums, Briana and Tim were showing me a press printed album (think yearbook) that they had made of their trip across the country the previous summer. When do I get to go to a meeting and see new albums? They also showed me their blog and tole me all about their wedding. Love! Briana also mentioned that she loved creative photography and was willing to try any crazy thing I wanted to…

Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day to Rich Dembski, the best dad in the world! Dad has given me many skills and gifts including my love of photography and my height. Me with “Mrs Claus,” who looks a lot like my dad. And John O as Mr Claus. Maybe dad and I still look similar in this photo, but Nicki looks WAAAYYY different. Nicki torturing dad Nicki on a swing And here he is working. A more recent photo from about a month ago, shot with my Canon G11. Dad and Ryan setting up a ladder to my roof. Dad did an incredible amount of work on our house. Photo by dad with…
