Patricia and Mike were married last Saturday on a GLORIOUS fall day. It was literally the perfect September wedding – mid 60s and sunny with a gentle breeze that did wonders with Patricia’s veil. Patricia is one of my household sisters from my time at FUS and it was a joy to see her again […]

About a month ago I was able to meet Lauren and Cody in downtown Pittsburgh for their engagement session. As I drove to our meeting spot, the formerly sunny skies turned dark and the heavens opened into a torrential downpour.

This past weekend’s wedding was such a joy to photograph! Every wedding this year has been effected by Covid, but Catherine is Canadian and so there was an added layer of stress and uncertainty revolving the Canadian/American border. There were so many things up in the air in the weeks leading up to this wedding. […]

At the end of July, I was able to meet up with Mary Kate and Greg at this beautiful park outside of Pittsburgh. It was a perfect location for an engagement session and we hit it at the ideal time in the morning before the park became crowded. Mary Kate and Greg met as freshman […]

A few months ago I stopped in Cincinnati on my way to a wedding in Indiana and I was able to photograph Samantha & Clay’s engagement session. Although we all went to FUS together, we didn’t really know each and so their engagement session was the first time we were able to hang out and […]

Back in March, as everything was shutting down and government mandates were changing every day, Brooke & Scott were closely monitoring everything and hoping and praying that their April wedding would be unaffected.

This past Saturday I had the joy of photographing Kelsey & Zach’s wedding near Pittsburgh in the same church where they first met over five years ago at a high school youth group night.

Eve & Nick are two of the sweetest people and I have been eagerly counting down the days to their wedding for over a year and half, ever since I did their engagement session in the early spring of 2019. They were originally scheduled to get married at the end of May, but ended up […]

At the end of June I was able to meet up with Anne and Dominic in Steubenville, Ohio for their engagement session. The forecast was calling for thunderstorms all afternoon and evening, but this was the only day I would be in town so we just prayed and prayed for good weather and the storms […]

We did their first look at the Shrine of St. Anthony which served […]

When I was driving out to Indiana for Erin and Ryan’s wedding last month, I stopped in Cincinnati to photograph Samantha and Clay’s engagement session. I absolutely love when my couples choose an engagement session that has sentimental value and so I was thrilled when Samantha asked if we could use some of their favorite […]
