Flouting predictions of afternoon thunderstorms, Emily and Eric met up with me at Highland Park for what turned out to be a gorgeous afternoon. We had a ton of fun wandering the park and joking around, and we got some adorable photos. Emily has a promise ring and an engagement ring, so I had an occasion to photograph both hands for a change of pace. I love getting to know a couple better during the engagement session. It makes me look forward to shooting their wedding that much more!

Thanks for a great session! I’ll see you guys again at the Renaissance hotel in October!

Emily and Fred | Schenley Park and Strip District Engagement

Emily and Fred are getting married in October, and they’re having a Rat Pack theme to their ceremony! I’m pretty psyched about it since it’s a great chance to give their photos a more period feel. Usually my post processing style is very simple and pure, but I decided to play around a bit more with their engagement photos in anticipation of their wedding theme. Emily had her heart set on getting some photos on the Strip, and I was delighted to oblige.

Thanks for coming out on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, and I can’t wait for October!

Jessi and Eric | Highland Park Engagement

This past weekend, Jessi and Eric tied the knot. That’s the next post, though. First I want to share the engagement photos we got late last year. We managed to squeeze a session in despite the 3 week old baby I had at home! They were both so relaxed and easy going, it was a real pleasure to spend a brisk, beautiful autumn afternoon with them. I have no idea why they think they aren’t photogenic–I loved these photos.

Sandy and Chris | Station Square, Mellon Institute, and Schenley Park Engagement

Sandy and Chris were the winners of the free engagement session given away at the Cavanaugh Bride Show in January! After multiple attempts to schedule around the weather and Chris’s leave, Sandy and Chris drove in to have some photos taken before Chris is sent to Afghanistan this summer. We hit Station Square, then the columns at the Mellon Institute, and finished off at Schenley Park for a little greenery. I’m so glad we had this opportunity to capture some great moments of them together before Chris has to deploy for the next 9 months!

Thanks for coming out for a great session, guys! I couldn’t stop smiling while editing these.
