Kristin and Lee | Pittsburgh Engagement Photography

On Sunday, the lovely weather continued, and I had a great time shooting Kristin and Lee's engagement session around Phipp's Conservatory and Schenley Park in Pittsburgh.

Kristin and Lee actually knew each other growing up--their families being friends with each other. But it wasn't until they both moved to San Diego for separate reasons that things grew beyond just family friends. I love how life is funny like that.

They chose to do their engagement pictures around Phipp's because they will be having their reception there in January--and by then things may be a bit too cold for nice outdoor photos. Something about snow and high heels not meshing well together.

Cold weather or not, I'm looking forward to their wedding--it should be beautiful!



They liked the tree photo they had seen earlier on my blog...I like it too.








Kristin and Lee--you are both way cute!




Love this.


And this.












A little fun...





See you two soon!

Megan and Justin | Pittsburgh Engagement Photographer

Last Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day in Pittsburgh, and I had a blast photographing Megan and Justin's engagement photos.

We started at the Frick Art and Historical Center, which is where Megan and Justin will be having their wedding next May. It's a beautiful complex, though we did have an escort the whole time (thanks Gwen!). :)

When I asked Megan and Justin about when they met, Megan laughed as she told me their first date (they were set up by a friend) didn't go too well...Fortunately, a BBQ cookout a year later brought them together again, and that time things went much better--as you can see!

After the Frick, we drove down to the Strip District in Pittsburgh and had a lot of fun finding neat spots for photos. I absolutely love going down to this area because it's a wonderful playground of colors, textures, and awesome architectural lines. (hint, hint...anyone want to do an e-session there?).



Cute shoes--check and mark!




Megan and Justin will be getting married in this awesome orchard next spring!


Justin also has an interest in photography, and he spied this lovely texture on the tree (P.S. Megan, you are hot!).


I'd live here.










I think Justin must be practicing for the wife carrying contest.


I think Megan would prefer this method :) Too cute.








Sweet, we found the big tires lot!


My clients are braver than me!










And last but not least. When we made it over to the train car, Megan found some random potatoes on the ground and thought it'd be fun to toss them about. Awesome.


See you two in May!

Kerry and Josh | Pittsburgh Engagement Photography

They met in high school. She thought he was the cutest guy at school...and he thought...well, actually, he didn't notice her at first.

Fortunately for Kerry and Josh, a mutual friend eventually brought them together, and they've been that way ever since. That's so cool.

Last Thursday I met up with Kerry and Josh at Josh's parent's house, which has an awesome backyard. We managed to fit their shoot in during the 2 hour period it wasn't raining that evening, and I had a lot of fun hearing their story. (They got engaged in Italy--how cool is that?). I'm looking forward to their wedding in May.





Kerry, you are gorgeous! (And I can see why you had your eye on Josh, too!)
















Sweet! A hammock!




Love this...






We ended the night by them playing some basketball...
