Callie and Brian’s Engagement Session

/by

Alex and I met up with Callie and Brian at their venue in the North Hills of Pittsburgh last week for a fun engagement session. Their wedding is taking place this September at the home where Callie grew up and I have to say, I’m really looking forward to their big day. We started out in the barn overlooking their reception site. This fantastic image is by Alex—we took turns on and off between shooting and holding diffusion up above them to soften the light.

We stayed in one general location to save time because Callie and Brian were only in town for a very short visit. And sometimes it’s nice to simplify the number of locations. I think we settled into some nice shots because of it!

They’re such a sweet couple. I loved seeming them flirt.

Gotta have a walking shot.

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be this one for sure!

I just love how Callie is looking at Brian here. Judging by the sweetness oozing from this engagement session, I think their wedding will make me swoon.

Pittsburgh Wedding Photographers at Claysville Wedding: Part One

/by

Heidi and Aaron were married last Saturday at her family’s home in Claysville, Pa.  What really surprised me about this wedding, is that the groom and I graduated from high school together!  Heidi booked her wedding over the phone as she is out of town—when her fiance’s name came up I told her that it ringed a bell, but we figured the chances were slim.  What a nice surprise to find that it really was Aaron!

This post is part one of two posts from their wedding. The main colors of the wedding were royal blue with lavender as an accent.

This portrait was taken right after a mini rain storm cleared. It was such a relief for Heidi and her family that they could stick with their plans to hold the ceremony outside.

This photo was taken moments after Heidi’s dad gave her away. I just love her expression.

After the ceremony, the bridal party hoped on a bus to go to the other end of their property for some photos by the pond. Here is the first from that session.
