Pittsburgh wedding photos

Wedding coverage runs from 6 to 10 hours depending on your collection, with a second photographer on Sapphire and Ruby. You'll see church ceremonies, portraits on the yellow bridges with the skyline behind, and receptions full of the people who love you.

Before the sparkler send-off, there were string lights, a big wooden barn and a laugh under the evergreens.

Pittsburgh engagement photos

Engagement sessions are where we get to know each other. Some couples want the skyline. Others want their favorite coffee shop, a garden, or a bench in the park with the dog. I'll help you pick a spot and plan what to wear, and your photos arrive in about 2 weeks, in time for save-the-dates.
