I am excited to share my first official Pittsburgh Engagement Session! Yay!

Lindsey and Matt are engaged and are getting married this coming August…. and… I CAN’T WAIT! Totally love them and am so glad to be working with them. Their ceremony is at Shadyside Presbyterian Church and the Reception is at Soldiers and Sailors.

Lindsey was recommended to me by one of my high school friends (thank you Sommer!)… who does my hair, and also Lindsey’s mom’s hair…. You should check her out if you are in the Erie area… She owns SalonB.

And it turns out that Lindsey just happens to be from my home town and went to my high school…. and we both went to Penn State… heck we even took dance lessons at the same studio growing up. Small world… Now Matt….. I just met, but it is no secret why these 2 are perfect for each other. They are so cute together… and I had so much fun… even if we FROZE our butts off!

They wanted to do some pics in Market Square… specifically at night when it was all lit up. So we did! We started late afternoon to catch some of the daylight and then shot into the early evening…

LOVE that he gets this laugh out of her! It’s the best!!!

We went into this cute restaurant called NOLA on the Square. Looked amazing… Lindsey said it’s awesome… so Josh and I must go there! Loved watching them hang out and have a drink… So, so cute! I felt like I was watching some guy pick up a chic at a bar…

Seriously… how cute are they?!?!

I may or may not have convinced them to go Ice Skating at PPG Place….

They were adorable! So, so fun! And they weren’t too bad on skates either… from what I heard it has been quite a long time since they had gone ice skating.

Most of the time girls kick their heel… for pictures sake… but really this is just a reflex that Lindsey must have.  I think she kicked her heel every time that Matt kissed her. Every time.

A little dancing in the street…. Keep in mind, it was about 21 degrees outside, and Lindsey  is wearing high heels in the ice/snow with NO SOCKS!!!

We headed over to the Pennsylvanian for a few quick photos at the end…. She just loves the lit up building at night. Who doesn’t?? That place is Beautiful!!!

So sweet….

Thank you Lindsey and Matt for an awesome, awesome session!

I actually just shared their wedding with you, but never shared their engagement session…no particular reason, just lots of travel and the busyness of the holidays… So….better late than never right? This engagement session is near and dear to my heart. Most of you probably don’t know that I am actually a huge golfer….well….was a huge golfer. Played division 2… Was offered a full ride and then transferred to PSU to pursue photography. . I love playing golf but not as my job….  Haven’t played much lately, especially since having a kid, but will hopefully get back into it soon!

Anyways…..all of the golf talk because we started Kathleen and Zach’s engagement session at Fox Hollow Golf Course… It was a blast! Kathleen even let me hit a few balls…and I couldn’t resist.

They changed and we took a few more at the golf course.

Love that Kathleen giggles… A LOT. They are so cute together!!!

And Kathleen being the good sport that she is…. trekked across the field in heels for this one…. and on top of that it was actually really, really cold!!! So in a fancy sleeveless dress and in heels she went!

And then her prince charming carried her back out when we were done. It was incredibly cute!

then we headed to Harbor East to catch a few in the city…  We caught the amazing early evening light. The next few are some of my favorites.

And a beautiful sunset!

Thanks Kathleen and Zach!!! Have LOVED working with you!!!

Another cute couple to share with you! Meet Lacey and Matt! They met at Della Roses in White Marsh…. on Halloween…

And they like to go back for a special drink rimmed with Old Bay…. and now I can’t remember what it is called!!!! Anyone? Leave it in the comment section?

So, we started at Della Roses. They opened just for Lacey and Matt…. and we had some fun there before we headed to Fells Point!

So, now that you can see their faces better…  you might actually recognize them from either Erika and Danny’s wedding or Emily and Mike’s wedding! So fun! I always say this… but I love working within the same circles of friends and seeing old clients!

The photo below is one of my favorites of the day… so sweet.

A favorite little alley that I haven’t walked through in a long, long time…

LOVE their style.

These are some of my favorites too!!!

After Fells Point, we headed to their house so that they could grab their cute little guy, Chuck.

Love.Him.

Chuck gave us his back side  A LOT so we had to sneak a few without him…

Couldn’t resist this face!

Lacey and Matt are getting married next October at a private farm, and I can’t wait!!! Lacey was sharing some of their ideas and it sounds like it will be amazing!!!

Thanks Lacey and Matt! Had such a blast with you!

I know it has been awhile since I have blogged…. I have been on the road for the last 3 weeks and although super fun, it has been super busy. The first 2 trips were shooting in the Baltimore area and the last was to Orlando! My sisters, mom, and I went to watch my nephew and niece march in the band at Disney world…. and had a great time together! We had never been on a girl trip together, and it was so much fun. We went to the Magic Kingdom, the Animal Kingdom, and Downtown Disney. Loved seeing it all decorated for Christmas! Ainsley came and LOVED it, although I am sure she won’t remember it…

I tried to blog when at the hotel there, but I wasn’t able to post… the internet connection in our room was really spotty, and I kept getting kicked off…. so apologies for the wait, and check back often this week to see some posts of what has been going on over here!

So the first session I am going to share is Lindsay and Matt’s engagement. They are so adorable!!!! We went to the Towson area for their session and seemed to have perfect timing for the fall leaves! We had not so great timing with the cold and rain, but they were absolute troopers and we kept going…. even though it was freezing cold and we all needed to thaw out by the end.

See how adorable they are?!? They are getting married next October at the Baltimore Museum of Industry and I can’t wait! Such a sweet couple and a cool venue!

Leaves = Amazing!

These are some of my favorites….. Love the outfits they wore… especially in an urban area…

Keeping eachother warm and dry….

a little sprinkle…..

These next few were taken in the Bolton Hill area. In my 8 years in Baltimore, I had NEVER gone to Bolton Hill, wish I would have. It is such a cute area!

Their cute pup….

Thanks Lindsay and Matt! You guys are awesome, and I had such a great time with you!! Thanks for trusting me, and for being troopers in the cold!!

So…… Mandi and Danny….

Met them at Angela and Josh’s wedding.  Mandi was a bridesmaid…. and they were just guests at Kristi and Jason’s wedding.  :)

They met at Salisbury University as Freshmen… their dorms were across from one another. However, they didn’t go on their first official date until they lived together in a beach house the summer after graduation with a bunch of friends…. and then she moved to Cali…. and he had to lure her back. It worked! And they will be getting married next July! We walked around Harbor East for a little bit for their session….and then we went to a super fun location that I can’t share with you. I can’t tell you, nor can I share photos… but it was AMAZING!

One of my favorites…

After the “private” location we headed over to Federal Hill Park to get some photos with their dog Kooper and to catch the beautiful fall leaves!

So sweet….

Another Favorite!

Thanks Mandi and Danny for an AWESOME session! I had so much fun with you guys and can’t wait to share ALL of your photos with you!
