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!

Jessi and Eric | Church of the Ascension and Marriott City Center Wedding

Jessi and Eric got married this past Saturday at the Church of the Ascension in Shadyside. The weather was beautiful, the church has fantastic little gardens inside, the entire day was simply lovely, but I think one of my favorite parts was also one of the smallest. In addition to “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue,” Jessi had a tuppence for her shoe that was worn by both her grandmother and mother. I love personal touches like that.

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.
