This fall has been full of amazing engagements! I've been fortunate enough to meet amazing people who are just ready to be together now more than ever, and I 100% support that. There's nothing that makes me happier than to see love all around. That's what the world needs more of, and how cool that I get to document a snipped of these stories?!
Allie + Eric had the most intimate and beautiful wedding of 2020!
Even though we had a crazy year, they managed to pull it off with the most important people in their life, and in such a lovely and elegant way.
The details that went into the florals, the dress, the tables... Ugh! Breathtaking. Plus Pittsburgh is always beautiful, but during the fall it's better, if that's even a possibility.
Nothing like a golden afternoon to celebrate love and friendship with your best friend. Chris and Olivia chose a formal, and a casual outfit, which worked out perfectly in Mellon Park, which has so many little spots to get gorgeous photos. And because we're still dealing with a global pandemic, and our realities have change, we took some memorable photos with the face masks we all wear out in public places.
Time flew by, and for me it was amazing to see them laughing and having a great time. <3
Makayla's & Ryan's shoot was scheduled for a morning before they left to a road trip. Makayla told me she wanted all of those fall colors you get in October, and we specifically plan this shoot to get all of that in our shoot. The problem! There's always an inconvenience, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be real life.
Leanne & Dan were suppose to get married on Oct. 2020, but thanks to COVID they had to re-schedule their wedding until next year, but that didn't stop them from celebrating their love. We did their engagement session at North Park and Hartwood Mansion.
Dipali & Anish had a beautiful Indian wedding at The Hindu Jain Temple of Pittsburgh where they had the main ceremony surrounded by family, friends and love. Beautiful and significant traditions were all at the centerpiece of their day. We got early to the temple and we were able to do some bridal portraits before the ceremony.
We did Miranda + Tom's newborn session during the summer months and we started off at their beautiful nursery where we took lifestyle photos as they were changing the baby, and just in general family photos, and then we started with the newborn part of the photo shoot where we focused on the baby and the beautiful moments they had as a family.
What better way to spend an afternoon than doing a maternity session during golden hour. And this session was one of my all-time favorites. If you've been in Pittsburgh for the summer months you know it's hot but we have beautiful lighting and long days, and this afternoon wasn't the exception.
Come along and see what does a summer photo shoots look like In Downtown Pittsburgh.

Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of a modeling photo shoot?
