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.

Senior Portraits | Ian

May 18th, 2011

So my little brother Ian is graduating this year! Although I guess I probably shouldn’t call him that any more- he’s about a foot taller than I am, and most people don’t figure that he’s younger than me. To say that we were going for nontraditional senior portraits might be putting it mildly. As for [...]

To say that we were going for nontraditional senior portraits might be putting it mildly. As for the accordion? He’ll tell you it’s my fault, but I don’t know. I may or may not have been responsible for setting him up with an amazing accordion teacher one day. But it’s absolutely not my fault that he took like two classes and and wound being stupidly good at it. That accordion actually has a history to it- it was my great-grandfather’s, who played it at my parent’s wedding; Ian worked at it & played it at my brother’s wedding last year. Good stuff. And everyone knows that the accordion is the sexiest instrument alive, anyways.

I’m so glad to finally put these up! Ashley and Wes had a beautiful and relaxed late summer wedding. Some weddings just end up being hectic, but this was the exact opposite- everyone was so easy going and happy. Definitely a fantastic day celebrating their love.

A few details: Wes & Ashley got married at Old St. Luke’s, a beautiful little historic church in Carnegie, and the reception was at The Great Hall.  I love the little personal touches they brought through the day- from the adorable bridesmaids’ shoes, to the beautiful floral arrangements & bouquets that Ashley’s sister made, to the favors, which were little bags of popcorn from Pittsburgh Popcorn-yum!

There are times where I feel so blessed to realise that my job is to take happy pictures of people in love, on one of the greatest days of their lives… Wes & Ashley’s wedding was one of those times.  Below are just some of my favorites from their beautiful day… enjoy.
