Jill & Mike’s Engagement Session at the Pittsburgh Field Club
Jill and Mike attended the same college, but didn’t really know each other. They reconnected years later in Erie, where they were both visiting, and the rest is history. They’re getting married next March and I’m excited to photograph their wedding at Heinz Chapel (where Jill’s parents were married) and the Twentieth Century Club. We met for engagement photos one beautiful afternoon at the Pittsburgh Field Club. Note: coffee from my favorite, Coffee Tree Roasters. The colors that they wore looked so great in this setting. Favorite for lighting: Favorite expression: Here they are standing on the bridge to the elevator. Yes, there is an elevator on a golf course…

Ashley and Russ’ Engagement Session at Mellon Park
Ashley and Russ met in high school, but they didn’t start dating right away. They’ve been together for a few years now and they’re planning their wedding for October of 2011. I have photographed a few of their friends’ weddings and I’m thrilled to be photographing their wedding next October. Yay! We met on Friday for their engagement photos at Mellon Park. I love taking engagement photos at Mellon Park. The walled garden is beautifully restored and well maintained. It looks great at every time of year. Favorite because of the light: One of my favorite things about photographing an engagement shoot–or anything–is how I get to run around like…

Michelle and Francis’ Wedding at Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall at The Priory
Michelle and Francis are amazing. They are super classy and a joy to be around. They both love dancing, physical fitness, and each other so much. Maybe I’m biased because they both work as engineers and met during college (as Ryan and I did). Since I met Michelle this spring, I was looking forward to their wedding day at Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall at the Priory-a location that they both really love so much-and Saint Joseph Parish on Dorseyville Road. When I asked her what they liked to do together, she answered that they liked to workout and go dancing. They LOVE dancing. They wanted to dance all night at their…

Baby Nina!
Congratulations to my great friends Laura and Mark on the arrival of their daughter, Nina! Nina arrived yesterday (a little early) when I was photographing a beautiful wedding, but Ryan and I went to visit her at the hospital this morning. She’s got 10 fingers and 10 toes…though this looks like just four toes on the right foot, she really does have five. She is so little. At 5 lb, 0 oz, I think I had a bigger breakfast than that. Mark and Nina Nina with her absolutely beautiful mom, Laura. Laura and I have been great friends for, well, more than half of our lives. I love her so…

Lauren and Danny’s Engagement Photos at the University of Pittsburgh
Lauren and Danny met when they were students at the University of Pittsburgh. Danny currently works for the University of Pittsburgh and once upon a time they spent a lot of time on campus. We met there earlier this week for their engagement photo shoot. We’d scheduled this date a few months ago and I was thrilled when we had beautiful weather…..and two adorable people to work with that day! Told you they were adorable! We walked around near the Cathedral of Learning for some of these photos. Here we fond some nice lighting. Fist bump and off to the North Shore Lauren changed in the car, which I thought…
