A fall engagement session by the lake!

I met Tish and Tom on a warm fall afternoon at Two Mile Run County Park.  Interestingly, this couple isn't from this area, but Tom spent some time here when he was little.  So they thought it would be fun to stop by for a visit and use that opportunity to get a little fall engagement session scheduled!

We had hoped for a typical cool fall afternoon, but it was actually a little warmer than we had hoped.  But it was still oh-so-beautiful!!

And a little interesting tidbit.....Tish and Tom ended up falling so in love with our little town that - on a complete spur of the moment decision - they ended up buying a vacation home here that weekend!  How cool is that!!???

Thank you both so much!  It was so nice meeting with you and hopefully we will see you again soon!

Onto the photos!

A sweet maternity session

Oh my gosh I have so many beautiful and fun sessions I can share and it was hard to decide where to start!  So I pretty much threw a dart and here we are!

Jessica and Steve are former locals who now live out of state.  They were planning a fall weekend at home and asked if I could fit in a maternity session - sure!  And can we bring in her pup for a few - of course!!

We started the session at the home where Jessica grew up and finished up at beautiful Two Mile Run County park.  Thank you so much Jessica and Steve!  

The wedding of Michele and Richard! | North Park Pennsylvania Wedding

I met with Michele and Richard last year and they discussed their wedding which was scheduled in April.  It sounded so sweet - simple, small, intimate...perfect.  They really hoped that they would be able to have the ceremony outdoors.  The wedding was taking place at Pittsburgh's beautiful North Park.   And they planned a small outdoor ceremony, pictures throughout the park, and then a reception at the North Park Lodge.

Unfortunately, mother nature had another plan.  

Instead of a beautiful spring day....we had SNOW.  And coming from the north I actually had a LOT of snow and was a little nervous during the drive down!  Crazy!  

Luckily, the snow wasn't really an issue and quickly melted, but the temps were so bitterly cold that everything was moved to the indoors.  But Michele and Richard and their friends and family were really good sports and everyone was more than willing to at least get outside for some portraits and still take advantage of the beautiful park.

And, in spite of the frigid weather, it was a beautiful wedding, a wonderful reception, and ended with a GORGEOUS sunset.

Thank you so much Michele and Richard!
