Allison & Bryant: White Barn Wedding Pictures (Prospect, PA)

Allison & Bryant tied the knot in the fall of 2025 at the White Barn in Prospect, PA! ❤️ One of my favorite wedding venues in Pittsburgh, this venue has an endless array of beautiful backdrops for photos. This was my first time taking photos in their new Air b&b, which is right on the property! It made the transition from getting ready to ceremony totally seamless.

I personally have known Allison since she was just a few years old - and over the years, I’ve photographed her senior photos and her engagement photos. To say it was an honor to photograph hers & Bryant’s wedding day would be an understatement. I am so grateful for the opportunity to come alongside this sweet couple as they said their “I do’s.” I just adore their whole family!

Congratulations on your wedding & marriage, Allison & Bryant!

Haley & Jared: Shady Elms Farm Wedding Pictures

Haley & Jared’s wedding day at Shady Elms Farm was a joy to be a part of! Being a Pittsburgh wedding photographer has granted me so many opportunities to visit beautiful locations that I may not have ever gotten to see… including Shady Elms Farm! It is a photographer’s dream, full of beautifully curated spaces that feel like they are made for photos. Not to mention, the staff at the farm is just as incredible!

Though I’ve photographed many weddings at Shady Elms Farm, this was my first with a ceremony under their new (to me) pavillion. And I just have to say… can every venue have a pavillion like this?! The natural light was beautiful, and it is the perfect “rain spot” so that couples and vendors don’t have to worry about having a back up rain plan. Truly… what a great idea!

Congratulations on your wedding day, Haley & Jared!

Rachel & Boaz: Pittsburgh Botanic Garden Wedding

It was a beautiful and toasty summer day for Rachel & Boaz’s wedding! Their garden wedding was full of love, surrounded by friends & family. Their ceremony took place in the celebration garden, with a tented reception to follow.

One of my favorite parts of their wedding day was something I had never ever seen before - in lieu of a mother-son dance, the groom and his mom had a DUTCH BLITZ face off! For those of you who have never played, it's "a vonderful goot (card) game" that's fast paced... and one of my all time favorites! The showdown was epic and such a fun change of pace!

Rachel & Boaz, congratulations on your beautiful wedding day!

Thank you to Taylor Ramsey from Taylor Elizabeth Photography for photographing this wedding with me!

Amber & Ryan: Monarch Veil Wedding Photos

Amber and Ryan had a beautiful wedding day at the the Monarch Veil in Sarver, PA this past weekend! I've had the pleasure of being a part of documenting their story since Ryan proposed to Amber. It was such an honor to get to be a part of their wedding day, too.

Congratulations on your marriage, Amber & Ryan!

Ashley & Nick: Robin Hill Park Wedding Photos

This was a wedding many years in the making! Ashley & Nick met through their mutual friend Matt (who was also their officiant on their wedding day).

Here's the short story: Nick was a childhood friend of Matt's, and Matt had just met Ashley at Robert Morris. He thought they would be a good match (Matt-ch? ) and introduced them... and the rest is history!

Ashley and I met at Robert Morris University - she was in the photography program (and is an incredible photographer!) and I was trying to sneak a photography minor into my schedule, so we had some overlapping classes together! I was so honored when she asked me to photograph her wedding day!

Their wedding day was probably the most perfect fall day you could imagine. The weather was just right, the sun was shining... and the venue was gorgeous! Robin Hill Park is such a beautiful gem. I can't believe I hadn't been there before!

Ashley & Nick, a huge congratulations to you both on your wedding day! Thank you so much for letting us be a apart of it!

Becca & Nate: Cranberry Doubletree & Heinz Chapel Wedding

Becca & Nate tied the knot in a beautiful Heinz Memorial Chapel ceremony this past weekend, with a super fun reception at the Doubletree by Hilton Cranberry Township!

Becca & Nate opted for a quick first look outside of the chapel prior to their ceremony... which was so incredibly sweet! It gave them a moment just to take in the day before everything got underway!

After their ceremony, we spent some time taking photos around Heinz Chapel. It is always a treat to get to take some photos of the couple inside such a beautiful space after the ceremony!

And then, it started raining. It was raining just light enough for us to make our way over to the Mellon Institute, and then shortly after that, it started pouring!

After photos, we made our way back to the Doubletree for a beautiful reception! Becca & Nate had huge marquee letters in front of their head table, a packed dance floor, and a fresh cannoli bar (I had never seen that before - so cool!). All in all it was a beautiful, fun, and meaningful day - one we are so thankful to have been a part of!

Becca & Nate, a huge congratulations to you on your wedding day and on your marriage!

Atalya & Chase: Black Tie Wintergarden at PPG Place Wedding Day

This was an incredible day for an incredible couple! Atalya & Chase are one of the kindest, most sincere couples - and their friends and family are just as lovely! This was truly such a joyful day to be a part of from start to finish - a true Pittsburgh wedding day!

Atalya and her bridesmaids began their day at the Pittsburgh Fairmont. This was my first time taking photos here… and I have to say, it was such a beautiful location! You can see so much of downtown from the floor to ceiling windows… including PPG Place, Atalya & Chase’s reception venue!

Chase & his groomsmen got ready at his apartment. Each groomsman was gifted a custom jersey with his last name on the back… such a fun gift!

The ceremony took place at Heinz Chapel, quite possibly one of the most iconic churches in all of Pittsburgh. After family portraits, we were able to sneak in a few photos of Atalya & Chase in some different spots around the interior of the church. And I say “sneak” because Heinz Chapel hosts TONS of weddings, so they run a very tight ship when it comes to timelines… so extra photos in addition to family portraits on the altar are not always possible. But thankfully, we were running a bit ahead of schedule, and there weren’t any other weddings on the books for the rest of the day (love a Friday wedding! 🙌).

One of my favorite moments of this wedding day was when Atalya, Chase, and their bridal party stopped at the place where they had their first date - Lefty's in the Strip District! It was so worth the pit-stop, and such a beautiful way to commemorate the beginning of their relationship to bring things full circle! Their whole bridal party took a shot to celebrate, and off we all went to the reception!

The reception took place at the iconic Wintergarden at PPG Place in the heart of downtown. This was my first wedding here, and I absolutely LOVE this space! There is much natural light. It’s modern, clean, classic, and everything you would want in a wedding venue. And as a bonus… it is walking distance from the Fairmont, where many of their guests were staying!

The reception was full of heartfelt toasts, a huge cookie table, and a killer band (Go Go Gadjet) that kept guests dancing all night and put on an incredible performance!

Atalya and Chase, it was truly such a pleasure to be a part of your day. Congratulations on your marriage!

This beautiful day was made possible by an incredible team of vendors. I have to give a huge shout out to Vanessa from Alyssa Thomas Event Planning & Design, who coordinated the wedding day and kept every detail in place. She was absolutely incredible!

Deidre & Paul: Summer Irons Mill Farmstead Wedding

Deidre & Paul’s wedding was a BLAST to photograph at one of the most beautiful venues - Irons Mill Farmstead! It's been quite a few years since I've photographed a wedding here, and I was so excited to be back!

Deidre & Paul’s wedding day featured a lavender color palette with lots of greenery - but the most important piece there for them was the people they invited to share the day with them! We took the majority of their portraits prior to the ceremony so they would have time to mingle during cocktail hour and chat with their guests - something that was so important to them!

We couldn't have asked for a more fun day with these two, and with their friends & family - thank you Deidre and Paul for letting us be a part of it!

Lindsey & Brody: Butler Private Estate Wedding Photos

What a wedding day! Lindsey & Brody tied the knot in a beautiful garden & floral themed wedding day on Brody's grandfather's property this past weekend, where his parents were also married 26 years ago.

Lindsey & Brody met in middle school and have been together for many years - so this day has been a long time in the making! There were so many beautiful details incorporated into their day, including:

• Lindsey’s veil, with the couple's initials and wedding date embroidered onto it

• Lindsey's grandmother's ring, which served as inspiration for her own engagement ring (and served as her something old, borrowed, and blue!)

• The florals, which included flowers from both Lindsey & Brody's birth months

Aside from all of the special details, this day had a few twists and turns. Honestly, this may have been one of the most eventful weddings I’ve ever photographed! And of course, the couple took all of these in stride. There were storms, power outages, and a fallen cake table (just to name a few - you won’t want to miss the photos we got of that! ;) ), but what really impressed me about Lindsey & Brody is how they kept their focus on water mattered most in the midst of it all.

Because this was such a beautiful and eventful wedding… this blog post is HUGE! There were so many photos that tell the story of the day that I just couldn’t bear to leave out. So get your scrolling finger ready for a workout!

It was truly a privilege to be a part of this wedding day! Thank you Lindsey & Brody for having us!

Lindsey's grandmother's ring above (her something borrowed, old, and blue) inspired the design of her own engagement ring! I love this shot of them side by side.

Lindsey's parents and Brody's parents after the ceremony ❤️

Brody's grandfather built this lake and dock (not pictured that he also build: a log cabin!) for him and his cousins when they were younger as a gift. I love that we were able to get photos of him and Lindsey here!

This was the beautiful cocktail hour space inside the barn, next to the reception tent. It felt so homey!

One angle of the cake encounter...

The bride & groom took this so well! Lindsey isn't a huge fan of cake so it wasn't a huge deal to them!

They DID cut the cake, but in case you're wondering... no, they did not feed it to each other! They used ice cream instead!

Another fun detail about this wedding day: the groom and his friends had a fantasy football league, and the loser of it had to sit at a table across the field during the wedding reception. 😆

And it was a pretty big field.

You wouldn't be able to tell from our photos (since our lights light up the reception tent!) but a few times, the generator for the power went out and there was almost complete darkness for lengths of time!

Chelsea & Anthony's Wedding at The Gathering Place at Darlington Lake

Meet Chelsea & Anthony!

Like a true good Pittsburgh love story, Chelsea & Anthony met while working at Kennywood (you may remember their engagement session from last year that took place AT Kennywood - click here to see it!). A few weeks ago, they tied the knot at a favorite wedding venue of mine... The Gathering Place at Darlington Lake!

I'm not sure if the particular weekend of their wedding marked "peak" fall foliage here in Western Pennsylvania, but it sure felt like it The foliage was beyond beautiful and vibrant for their gorgeous wedding day set along Darlington lake. And though the forecast loomed with the threat of rain, instead, we experienced a lovely crisp fall day with some glimmers of sunshine!

One of my favorite details about this wedding day - Chelsea wore the exact same shoes that her mother wore on her wedding day! I have never seen that before and thought it was the sweetest touch!

Chelsea also had many special touches included for her late grandmother, who passed away just a few weeks before her wedding. She had a special sign and bouquet made for her, and there was a special dance with her extended family during the reception to honor her. It was truly beautiful.

Chelsea & Anthony, it was a blessing to be a part of your day. Thank you so much for having us there!

And a huge shout out to Taylor Ramsey for photographing this wedding with me (some of whose photos you'll see sprinkled throughout this set!).
