The Churches of Pittsburgh
I’m working on an independent project documenting the Churches of Pittsburgh. The following are churches I plan to photograph over the next week or two. I’ll be breaking a bit from this blog’s general topic of photography because there’s just so much history with these churches that I won’t be able to resist sharing some tidbits I’ve learned along the way.
Saint Mary on the Mount Parish on Mt. Washington
First Presbyterian Church in downtown Pittsburgh
Trinity Cathedral in downtown Pittsburgh
St. Nicholas Church in Millvale
Smithfield United Church of Christ
First Lutheran Church in downtown Pittsburgh
St. Stanislaus Kostka in the Strip District
Heinz Chapel in Oakland
St. Paul’s Cathedral in Oakland
Saint Mary on the Mount
Epiphany Catholic Church in downtown Pittsburgh
I’m also considering photographing the following churches over the next month or so: Mount Ararat Baptist Church, St. Anthony’s Reliquary, Iron City Church and Hot Metal Church. Bellevue Christian Church is on my list too, but its sanctuary is currently being remodeled.
If anyone out there would like to recommend a church to add to my list, please leave a comment. We have so many beautiful churches in Pittsburgh and I’m learning about more and more everyday.

Dacia and Mike’s Wedding
/by kmillerDacia and Mike were hoping for a winter wedding, and while the snow was relentless in the weeks leading up to their day, it was oddly warm on that first Saturday in February. Imagine that; Pittsburgh weather is unpredictable! Anyhow, they had a beautiful day despite the unseasonably warm weather.
Dacia is getting her updo.
The guys pose around the table in their dressing room.
Here comes the bride!
Hand in hand.
Have you heard of the runaway ring bearer?
One sweet day.
Christina and Nathan’s wedding
/by kmillerChristina and Nathan tied the knot on a beautiful autumn day.
These pew decorations are so creative.
The couple's wedding guests were very enthusiastic about throwing bird seed.
The bridal party went to Hanover Park for photos on a covered bridge.
The fall colors in this wedding were complimented by the scenery at Hanover Park.
Christina looks so peaceful at the edge of this forrest.
They're ready to get the party started!
Kim and Reed’s wedding
/by kmillerKim and Reed flew into Pittsburgh from Montana for an intimate ceremony at The Inn on Negley.
Kim's family helps her with the finishing touches.
Their ceremony was held in the inn's parlor.
Kim's engagement ring features a beautiful blue diamond.
We escaped to near-by Mellon Park for a beautiful setting for photos of the couple.
This whimsical frog statue called for a lighthearted moment.

Gina and Corey’s engagement session
/by kmillerGina and Corey were real troopers on this Saturday morning 7 a.m. engagement session. I suggested taking advantage of the early morning light and we were very lucky that the rain cleared just in time to give us that misty morning feel.
