Heather and Tim’s Engagement at McConnell’s Mills State Park
Sometimes it is hard to choose the location for the engagement photos, but Heather and Tim required no decision. They had the perfect spot–McConnell’s Mills State Park. The park was the site of their second date and the place where Tim proposed to Heather under a secret waterfall. Getting to the proposal spot required some hiking. Not walking. Hiking. And climbing too. I love to hike. Hiking is never a problem, but in this case I was carrying a lot of heavy and expensive camera equipment so I had an extra challenge traversing the slippery rocks. But Heather did those same hikes in an adorable dress and shoes so how…

Karen and Jamie’s Wedding at The Twentieth Century Club
Karen’s family are wedding experts. Though none of them work in the wedding industry, all 4 of Karen’s sisters and both of Karen’s brothers are married. Karen and Jamie were married in the same church as all of her sisters and one of her brothers. When one of the bridesmaids asked “Where do we go to wait for the ceremony?” another one said “Ask someone in the family–they’ve done this before.” Even though they have all been to many weddings in this church, everyone was just as excited for Karen and Jamie as they must have been the first time they watched someone else come down the aisle. Karen and…

Heather and Patrick’s Wedding at Edgewood Country Club
Heather and Patrick went to the same college, but didn’t know each other very well while they were in school. They had some mutual friends and connected later through their unknowingly similar circle of friends. Those friends and all of their family joined them last weekend for their wedding. Saturday was the perfect day for an outdoor wedding. I know that I think about the weather a lot, but it is a huge consideration for outdoor weddings. Heather and Patrick were lucky to have weather comfortable for the men to be in full suits and the ladies’ to be in cocktail-length dresses. Heather and Patrick had an outdoor ceremony on…

Kacey and Nate’s Wedding at Succop Conservancy
It’s hard not to think about the weather when you’re having an outdoor wedding. In fact, it’s difficult not to become completely obsessed with the weather. Last Saturday wasn’t even my own wedding and I couldn’t stay away from radar images. “100% chance of rain, thunderstorms and 1″-2″ of rain.” The weather was on everyone’s mind but Kacey and Nate are so much more than the weather. Actually, I was shocked to see that their attitude about the wedding transcended the weather. They were determined to have the best wedding day ever no matter the weather. As they were getting ready for the day, the weather miraculously cleared and the 2″ of…

Nicole and Lou’s Downtown Pittsburgh Engagement Photos
I recently met Nicole and Lou for their engagement photographs downtown. Though we were rained out of an earlier shoot date, our time this evening was wonderful. It (finally) was not too hot and the sky was full of fluffy white clouds. Lou works downtown, but they love being in the city together. They had many spaces on their list that they wanted to visit during their engagement shoot. My favorite was the top of a parking garage where we found a fantastic city view. Nicole and Lou are planning their wedding for spring of 2013 at the Carnegie Museum of Art.
