Andrea and Jonathan are getting married this August, so we spent a recent Sunday afternoon/evening at Highland Park for fun engagement session. The weather was perfect after a short mist of rain and we made the most of the setting sun.
Here are some of the keepers from our session:
This railing at the reservoir is a favorite spot for portraits and this is a stunning couple.
My thought about this engagement ring shot is: if you have a good backside, show it off!
These two were taken from above, on a wall by the stairs to the reservoir.
They brought their sweet little girl along for a few photos. She was loving walking hand in hand with her mom and dad.
This is one good-looking family!
I’m drawn to flirtatious and passionate images.
I also like to set up what looks like everyday scenes.
Sometimes landscapes inspire me too.
This is an example of what I call a creative edit, beyond the usual retouching with an emphasis on graphic elements.
Andrea and Jonathan, I’m looking forward to your wedding. Thanks so much for a great session!

Marie and Dan were married on a lovely Saturday in April. The said their vows at Heinz Chapel and then took about an hour afterward for some portraits. Marie and Dan were looking for a few hours of coverage to capture the essence of the ceremony and create some timeless portraits. They contacted me in March and booked me for April. And you might think they were a bit nervous about securing photography a month in advance, but they were as cool as cucumbers. Captivating Imagery offers partial day coverage for couples who, for any reason, are not interested in 10 hours of photography. If your wedding is not during the peak of the season, this may be an option for you as partial day coverage can only be booked up to 60 days in advance of an event, depending upon availability.
Anyhow, back to Marie and Dan. Marie looked stunning in this dress that was modified from her mother’s gown. She looks so statuesque in this shot.
They wanted to have some fun with their photos afterward, so we headed to the little log cabin near the Stephen Foster Memorial. We played with the idea of a groom carrying his bride over the threshold.
This image is from a series of favorites outside of the Carnegie Music Hall. They are such a handsome couple and I love the backdrop of the ornate door.
Here’s another playful shot. They wanted to peak around the tree and make funny faces. I really like Dan’s face in this one.
This is another favorite. I haven’t spent much time lounging under a shade tree with my husband, but this image reminds me of what you always see in romantic movies, except that they’re posing for the camera!
Milla Chappell took these fabulous images from the balcony of the chapel. In fact, Milla practically spent the whole month of April at Heinz Chapel photographing weddings. It must feel like a second home for her by now.
Marie and Dan, thanks for the opportunity to photograph your wedding! It was a pleasure to work with you. Many blessings to you and your marriage!

Marie and Dan said, “I do!” at Heinz Chapel this past Saturday. Here’s a sneak peek of their wedding.
The chapel is a stunning setting inside and out.
I really enjoyed seeing this couple light up in their first moments as Mr. and Mrs.
I don’t know if I love this photo so much because I was there in the moment or because I have a sister, but to me, this photo represents the tenderness in sisterhood.
More of this sweet ceremony to come!
