Katie and John’s wedding had some terrific details. Katie’s flowers were shades of pink, white and green with roses, orchids and hydrangea and they were lovely from the moment her florist dropped them off well into the night and that’s something considering the humidity and heat that day. Their favors read, “Hugs and Kisses from the New Mr. & Mrs.” on the bottom of their Hershey kisses. How can you not smile when you read that? Katie wore a crystal necklace and earrings that sparkled – actually Katie sparkled in every way. Did I mention the cookie table? There wasn’t a cookie that I didn’t like – they were delicious! And lastly, they had guests sign rocks as keepsakes in lieu of a guest book. And the display was as cool as the concept with an aluminum dish, moss, orchids and tea lights. More to come of this wedding soon!

Cathy and Travis are getting married in Erie, Pa., this summer and they contacted me to schedule an engagement session this spring. We headed to Mellon Park on a Saturday morning and had a blast.

Lee and Brian decided to opt for a post-wedding photography session after their elopement this spring. It was a fun and relaxed way for them to commemorate the beginning of their lives as Mr. and Mrs. We decided to head to the Oakland area of Pittsburgh for its plentiful locations that are perfect for a playful post-wedding session.
Such a pretty bride! The petals were already falling and we had Brian shake the tree a bit to help.
Brian’s look was inspired by Johnny Depp. Lee said they liked what he wore at a recent event and decided that it was a good alternative to a suit or tux for Brian.
Our session was rescheduled by one week due to heavy rain and while it sprinkled that morning, we weren’t going to let that get in our way.
Much giggling occurs when I set couples into loose poses for more romantic shots. And I do love it when they giggle.
Here’s a fun one under another tree with pink blossoms. I love springtime.
We stopped at the gardens outside of Phipps Conservatory for a few shots.
This image was begging to be black and white.
It’s tough to tell, but it was raining lightly here as we walked around outside Heinz Chapel.
Lee is a Pitt graduate and Brian graduate from Penn State, but he was a good sport and didn’t seem to mind having his photo taken all over Pitt’s campus.
Sometimes it’s fun to have a couple that’s not the exact same height. It can be challenging, but it can also bring about unexpected images like this one.
Lee is actually standing on a small concrete bench. If I could go back, I’d photograph a full length shot for fun.
This one was fun. Lee is smiling at Brian who is just taking it all in while he stands off to the side. He said that the Frick Fine Arts building has never looked better.
One thing that’s nice about post-wedding sessions is the opportunity to get a little dirty and have fun. They wanted to get in the fountain for a few photos and I was happy to join in the fun.
This one is a new favorite and it is definitely going on the front page of my site. Lee and Brian, many blessings to you and your marriage! Thanks for a fabulous post-wedding session!

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!
