You all know that I love a classic Pittsburgh engagement session. There is just no better city for skyline views and that great mix of nature. We started Tim & Lauren’s session on Washington’s Landing to get that perfect mix. The skyline view from the end of the island is one of my favorites in the city. Then we headed down to the North Shore to wrap things up with yellow bridges and riverfront views.

These two actually ended up getting married last year in a small, intimate wedding up on the overlook at Mt. Washington due to Covid. Wedding planning during a pandemic makes everything a little more challenging. They were excited to celebrate their vows with all their family and friends this year at the Priory.

Madi brought style to her senior portraits with some amazing looks and fun locations. We started at Phipps to capture the greenery and florals of summer, then headed to the epic Columns of Oakland before ending along the North Shore for some night shots.

We had a lot of walking during Alessandra’s senior session to hit all the classic Pittsburgh locations. We started on the North Shore and had to capture the Clemente Bridge. Then we walked through the city to the Point and back for night shots. All in all, a classic Pittsburgh senior session!

These were some fun shots to take! I especially love the night time photos we did along the North Shore, and in Garrison Canal. Since Gunnar loves his car, we had to highlight that for a few photos - always fun to use a big prop!

Sydney brought some fun style to her senior session, starting with the fun striped jumpsuit for the North Shore pictures. We ended up walking all through downtown Pittsburgh to the Point. then we headed back to the Clemente Bridge to wrap things up with some night shots.

These two flew in from out of state for this engagement session, so there was no rescheduling even with the threat of thunderstorms. By the end of the shoot, there actually ended up being a tornado warning! We dealt with some crazy downpours, but had enough breaks to get some great images. To start things off, we switched locations to the Columns in Oakland to have a spot with some cover. It ended up being a great option with Sam’s gorgeous dress! Sometimes it is fun to dance in the rain.

Aspinwall Riverfront Park is such a cool blend of nature and industrial. Add some winter weather vibes, and you have Emily & Matthew’s engagement session! It was a chilly day for photo, but well worth it to get that pop of snow and light in the background.

Can you believe she made it through a two hour shoot with those shoes? That is mad bravery.

I’m especially thrilled with how their night shots up on Mt. Washington came out. With the leaves being off the trees, you really get a great view of the city lights.
