Chrissy and Sean’s Engagement Photos
I was very excited to meet Chrissy and Sean. Not only are we alumni of the same university, Carnegie Mellon, but we also have a similar story to how we met our future spouses. Like Ryan and I, Chrissy and Sean also met during their first year of college in first year housing. Last weekend, I met with them at a the Darby Downs Equestrian Center in Irwin, Pennsylvania where Chrissy works a few days a week with horses. I was so excited that we got the change to make these photos at a place so beautiful that was so important to Chrissy. Such a beautiful day! I hardly had…

Jenna and Jordan’s Engagement Photos
Tuesday afternoons are excellent when you get to spend them with your camera and an awesome couple. That’s what my Tuesday was like with Jenna and Jordan. Jenna and Jordan met and started dating at Westminster College. They’ll celebrate their fantastic fall wedding there this October and I’m so excited to be there for it! We took some photos in Phipps, just for fun. The butterflies in the forest wouldn’t cooperate in posing for a photo. Plus it was really really hot in that room. I love these two. They are so cute together. My favorite off-camera light….the sun! Jenna = gorgeous. Jordan = handsome. Jenna+Jordan = love. Seriously, I…

Michelle and Francis are Engaged
Not everyone getting married in Pittsburgh actually lives in Pittsburgh. Michelle and Francis live in Delaware but are having their wedding this fall at the Grand Hall at the Priory. They were in town last weekend and we caught a break in the weather for their engagement session on Friday afternoon. We started at the Mellon Institute. It was a regular work day, but there weren’t too many people around. I think we even scared away a smoker or two. Michelle and Francis are awesome! And super funny too. They are both engineers, and the three of us get along well together. Michelle and Francis met through a mutual friend…

Jess and Andrew’s Engagement Photos on the North Shore
My long weekend of shooting concluded on Sunday night with Jess and Andrew for a steamy (seriously– it was humid and warm) engagement session on Pittsburgh’s North Shore. For their sake and mine, I made sure to shoot the close-up portraits first so they would be less sweaty in those photos. Jess and Andrew met on a cruise. Jess was celebrating completing college and Andrew was on his family vacation. I first met Jess when she was a bridesmaid in Laura and Craig’s wedding in 2008 (sorry, no link to their wedding as it pre-dated this blog). I met her (and Andrew) again last year at Justin and Kelly’s wedding…

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…
