Stephanie and Tom booked me to photograph their wedding in the Pittsburgh area next year and are currently living in Virginia. As we were planning their engagement session and trying to schedule when they would be back in the Burgh, I realized that I would be decently close to them for a wedding so we planned on fitting in their engagement shoot while I was there. (I love to travel and explore new locations!!) Ultimately, we decided on the Thomas Jefferson Memorial for their

I was so excited when I was asked by fellow classmates from college to photograph their engagement in Fairmont, WV. Ericka, Chris and I all graduated from Fairmont State University with engineering degrees. Chris and I are both civil engineers and Ericka is a mechanical engineer. We began the engagement session on a gorgeous property in the heart of Fairmont and ended the evening at Valley Falls State Park. The waterfalls and greenery of the countryside provided stunning bac

I met Julia and Aaron for their engagement session at Mellon Park in Pittsburgh around one hour before sunset. I strive to always include that beautiful golden hour lighting in my engagement sessions, and since it rained the entire week before we ended up having to reschedule for a nicer day. In the Pittsburgh area in rains A LOT so you learn to work around it or bring an umbrella. We chatted about our interests and our furbabies; we LOVE our puppies. It seemed like everyone

I've known Kacie for a LONG time - possibly since elementary school. Kacie and Bryce have been together for SEVEN years and he proposed to her with the most beautiful diamond ring on the North Shore of Pittsburgh. Bryce you rock! I seriously love the way he looks at her - they are perfect for each other. We started the engagement shoot in downtown Pittsburgh utilizing the modern lines of the city, then headed to Heartwood Acres for golden hour photos with a more romantic fee

I met Ryan and Courtney in the market district of Pittsburgh for their engagement shoot. It rained for the majority of the session (the WHOLE time) with a short period of snow which made for magical photographs. Normally I would have rescheduled but they were in the Burgh for a short amount of time while traveling for the holidays....so I busted out the umbrellas and we went on our way. I am SO thankful to the both of them for being such great sports because not only was it r

Sam and Dan met in college. After 1.5 years of dating, Dan got down on one knee and asked Samantha to be his wife, to which she said YES!! ( They are SO fun and cute together!) They enjoy going to Pittsburgh sporting events, and spending time with their families. In addition, they love to travel and find new wineries and breweries to explore. Samantha wanted to have a country themed engagement. We brainstormed about locations and decided that her family's property, with field

Stefanie was introduced to Ethan through his sister. They were all hanging out when Ethan dragged her out to the dance floor to dance to the Macarena; his charm and humor had her laughing all night long and they quickly fell for each other. Two months into dating, they knew that they were in LOVE and wanted to be together forever (when it's the ONE, you just know)! Ethan stepped up to not only be an amazing, supportive fiancé, but he also stepped in as a caring and loving fa

Rachel and John went to the same high school together (which just so happens to be the same high school that I went to). They fell in love when she was a Sophomore and he was a Senior. Traveling is one of their favorite things to do together; they even had the opportunity to study abroad in GERMANY! (SO lucky!!!) John loves to cook and they both are avid Harry Potter fans. After 6 years of dating, John proposed at the beautiful Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh. Rachel was ex

Brittany and Zack met through Zack's brother and started dating right after high school. It was meant to be because they realized they were both accepted into programs at WVU and would be attending college together in the fall! (Whoo! Go Mountaineers!) Zack proposed to his beautiful girlfriend Brittany after FIVE years of dating. They were traveling home through the scenic, rolling hills of West Virginia where they stopped at the Monongahela National Forest to take in the bre

Josh and Kristina went to the same high school but didn't connect until college. Josh proposed to his brown-haired beauty a couple years later, and I think you'll agree with me when I say that the ring he selected is STUNNING! We began the engagement shoot at Bethany College in front of horse pastures and an old farmhouse. From there, we proceeded to Oglebay Park in Wheeling, West Virginia. At Oglebay, I captured the couple during the 'Golden Hour' when the sunlight was spec
