Allison & Ben are getting married this December, and happen to be two of the most loving and joyful people I've had the pleasure of meeting. Ben proposed on a cold, wintry day in Ohiopyle, right on the overlook in their first picture, so we knew we'd have to do the whole session at the park and Cucumber Falls. More about their love story in their wedding post, I promise! Thanks to busy schedules and a particularly rainy Spring, we kept having to reschedule their engagement session. It turns out that was all for the best, because the morning after the Pens brought home the Stanley Cup was a perfect, bright, sunshine-y day! To Allison and Ben, who trusted me enough to climb over rocks and waterfalls all morning, thank you for inviting me in to help celebrate your love story. I can't wait for the day you say "I do!"

Molly & Jay | Squirrel Hill + Mellon Park Engagement

Coffee shop engagement sessions are out-- tiki bars are in! When Molly & Jay envisioned their engagement pictures, a brand new hangout on Shady Ave caught their eye: Hidden Harbor in Squirrel Hill, a tiki bar with (and I can personally attest to this) the best darn Josies in town. There's nothing like a tropical drink in the middle of February to make you feel all warm and tingly inside.

Of course, anywhere I went with Molly & Jay was going to feel like that. These two light up the whole room when they're in it. And while being in front of the camera can sometimes feel awkward, it was effortless for these two. Because when they looked at each other, they simply forgot I was there.
