turning moments into memories for pittsburgh brides and grooms

WELCOME!

Imagine me waving excitedly from this side of the screen—because I absolutely am!

I'm a n engagement and wedding photographer based in Irwin, PA, just outside Pittsburgh. I specialize in capturing joyful, love-filled moments for happy brides and grooms ready to start their forever.

I'm so glad you've found your way to my little corner of the internet—welcome!

I love arriving on a wedding day as an old friend

..camera in hand and ready to celebrate!

 

By the time your big day arrives, we’ll have connected through calls, emails, and an epic engagement session, creating a detailed timeline and plan together. After all that, I’m not just a wedding vendor: I’m a friend who’s just as excited about your day as you are.

 

I’ll smile all day, capture every joyful moment, and might even join you on the dance floor!

Wedding Albums are SO important print your photos

Are Wedding Albums Still Important?

 

While the digital age and social media do offer incredible conveniences, like instantaneous sharing, simple accessibility, and easy enjoyment - the beauty of a physical wedding album lies in it's ability to withstand the test of time.

 

It is a couple's first family heirloom, it tells a beautiful story, provides peace of mind that their memories are secure and is a beautiful work of art.

 

In other words, YES.
