Simey and Jerrold- Downtown Pittsburgh Engagement Session

I met up with Simey and Jerrold downtown on a Tuesday afternoon after they exchanged vows at their local courthouse. They wanted an engagement style shoot to commemorate the day as they have plans for larger celebrations abroad in the new year.

I LOVE shooting downtown during the week. There are less crowds to work around, more space to play and less photoshopping for me haha!

They showed up ready to roll and I think I think their carefree attitude really shines in their images. To me, its just as important to have posed photos as it is to have the candid, running through the streets shots. They were so fun and down for anything I threw at them!

I love that more of my couples are going for suits and a dressed up vibe. It really elevates the whole session. Check out all of Simey’s accessories, I died for her shoes!

We shot at the Allegheny County Courthouse courtyard, Mellon Square and One PPG Place. Thanks to Simey and Jerrold for having me document this day, I had a blast!

Kelsey and Cody - Fall Engagement


I’ve known Kelsey and Cody for over five years. They’ve been together twice as long (!!) and this past summer Cody proposed.

When Kelsey asked me to shoot their engagement session I was thrilled. I think you can tell from their session that they still have that blissfully in love vibe going on after all these years.

We had a blast during their session. I try to treat clients as friends but friends turned clients? Even better!

You don’t have to bring booze to your session (or share with my assistant) but it is encouraged ;)

I’d been eyeing this field near my parent’s home for a couple weeks. When Kelsey asked for a location suggestion I knew just where I wanted to go.

Just as we had cracked open a couple beers the sun set and I pushed them back out for a couple more shots. I’m glad I did because they are glowing!
