Downtown Pittsburgh Engagement | Emily + Scott

Emily and Scott live in Kentucky, but they are originally from Pittsburgh. So when they came back in town for wedding planning and the fourth of July, they wanted their engagement portraits to have an iconic Pittsburgh feel. We bounced around a couple of ideas, including Downtown, the Strip District, and the North Shore, but we eventually decided to take a walk along the river and feature some of the famous bridges. I don’t think you could ask for a more perfect setting for a summer engagement sessions- a great cityscape, the sun setting over the three rivers, and the cutest couple ever. Seriously.  I couldn’t put them anywhere for two minutes before they’d start laughing at something, and forget about posing, because we were having far too much fun for that.  (Give me someone who can work the lyrics of the Safety Dance into conversation, and we’re bound to hit it off!)

Emily & Scott are getting married this September in the Cranberry area, and if the couple of hours I spent with them are anything to go by, it’s going to be a fantastic time.  Many thanks to them for fitting me into their busy return home & I am definitely looking forward to September.

Engagement Portraits: Breanne & Will

October 20th, 2010

It seems like forever since Breanne and I talked for the first time. It was probably only just in the spring, but it feels like forever. Both of us moved in that time, and we kept trying to meet up & schedules just wouldn’t mesh… So I was really happy when we finally found a [...]

 

It seems like forever since Breanne and I talked for the first time. It was probably only just in the spring, but it feels like forever. Both of us moved in that time, and we kept trying to meet up & schedules just wouldn’t mesh… So I was really happy when we finally found a time to meet and shoot some engagement pictures before the wedding!

Breanne & Will are going to get married next month at Armstrong Farms. The venue is gorgeous, and even from our phone conversations, I knew we’d get along. I was already looking forward to the wedding. Now that I’ve had a chance to actually meet them, I am even more excited. They’re gorgeous, and laid back, and so much fun. We had a really great time running around Oakland- the Cathedral of Learning, wandering through Schenley Park, riding the carousel, and posing with nearly every dinosaur we found. We did skip the tight-rope walking though, maybe next time.

In the meantime, I wanted to share some of my favorites from the afternoon.

John + Crystal

September 16th, 2010

I’ve been meaning to post this portrait session for a while…  Typically I’ll post a teaser picture, finish the pictures, and blog the rest… Well, this lovely couple never got a teaser post. I would open up the folder… try to pick just one image… and stop, every time. There were just too many good [...]

 

I’ve been meaning to post this portrait session for a while…  Typically I’ll post a teaser picture, finish the pictures, and blog the rest… Well, this lovely couple never got a teaser post. I would open up the folder… try to pick just one image… and stop, every time. There were just too many good photos to choose! I couldn’t put just one up and not show you the rest!

John and Crystal found me through OpLove. John is in the Marines and has since been deployed, but Crystal contacted me early to schedule a shoot.  We managed to squeeze it during the week before his deployment- they drove up a few hours on a Thursday night, and we spent the evening hanging out in the park. Or more like… John and Crystal spent the evening climbing trees and doing cartwheels while I waded through creeks and perched on stumps for the perfect shot and tried to keep up with them. In other words, we had a great time. :)  Here are a few of my favorites:
