Spent an amazing few days in NYC, part work and part family trip, to meet up with my September 2020 bride and groom- Monica and Jesse! They were living in NYC at the time (now they are in LA, making those career dreams come true!). I feel like I say this a lot because I really do have sweet couples but these two are just outstanding people, so sweet, and quickly became friends not just clients. They were our tour guides for NYC and had some incredible spots in mind for their NYC session.

We met up in a neighborhood called Dumbo, for some awesome graffiti art, which was really unique to include for their engagement session! We ended in Brooklyn Bridge Park with some amazing views of the city, Jane’s carousel, and PIZZA (of course!).

One of my favorite hidden gems of Pittsburgh is Washington’s Landing. It’s a lovely spot in the summer for outdoor drinks and dinner at Redfin Blues or just for a stroll on the trail around the island. Autumn + Kyle got the perfect end of summer weather for their engagement session and some bubbly on the bridge.

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!
