We arrived at The Scottish Rite Cathedral to do her first look with her father, which was really sweet because we got to capture his true reaction seeing his daughter dressed in her white dress for the first time. The ceremony took place in this gorgeous historical place, and I could not be happier. Brittney had told me what an incredible location it was and she wasn't exaggerating. The high ceilings and architecture of the cathedral were beyond beautiful! 

I knew this surprised engagement was going to be special the moment Steve contacted me, but what I didn't know at the time was that this was going to be one of my all-time favorite photo shoots. There's an elegance and delicacy to the way Alaina reacted that was hypnotizing, and the way Steve's eyes sparked when he saw how happy Alaina reacted. I would say that this was the definition of what romanticism means. 

We did Tito's + Mel's Engagement session in the North Shore, we started at PNC park and walked down the river. That''s one of their favorite spots in the city of Pittsburgh, just like me, they're crazy about Pittsburgh, and the city did not disappoint with its charm that day.

What can I say about these two? They were so amazing to work with, and their session was pretty special. They were celebrating their move to France, and saying goodbye to the city of Pittsburgh.
