Samantha + Matt lucked out with a beautiful fall day in the burgh. We have literally had rain almost every weekend and I thought the leaves would all be gone. But fall held on this year, I think Mother Nature knew we needed to have a few days to enjoy the season before winter strikes.

Sam + Matt wanted to start their session in Shadyside because they met at Mario’s on Walnut St and I can’t resist incorporating an important location! Our second stop was the Walled Garden at Mellon Park. Fall perfection commenced!

While this Pittsburgh weather can be unpredictable at this time of year, it didn't stop us from traipsing around Oakland and Mellon Park for Chelsee and James's engagement session. When Chelsea and I settled on a location, she said they would be stopping at Dave + Andy's before hand. Immediately, I knew they would be a fun, easy going couple. Anyone who starts their engagement session with food, in this case ice cream, is my kind of couple! Lucky for us all of the Pitt students had headed home for the summer and campus was quiet. I think the .5 seconds of sunlight we saw near the Cathedral of Learning are my favorite photos. We ended our session at Mellon Park before the clouds totally took over. Chelsee + James, I can't wait for your wedding this September.
