Orion & Brad // Chatham University, Pittsburgh, PA // Engagement & Wedding Photographer

They talked on the phone for hours on end.

Having met online and after a few messages back & forth, they proceeded to take the next “step” of chatting on the phone. She was absolutely enthralled, captured, fascinated. Growing up, she dreamed of being a story teller – going on to school for creative writing – and this guy could weave a tale. He would tell her story after story about his life & his experiences & she ate up every word like ice cream drowned in hot fudge. Before they knew it, hours would have gone by – sometimes they would begin talking as the sun was going down, and by the time they hung up, the sun was rising.

The decision was made to meet. He took her to the movies, and from the moment they saw each other, the world stopped spinning. They don’t remember a thing about the movie they saw, they were so smitten with the person sitting next to them.

It only made sense to celebrate their engagement in a place that weaved into their story. Chatham University in Pittsburgh was where Orion went to school & Brad spent a lot of time there – if not taking walks around campus or hanging out at the cafe, he was picking her up to take her to dinner, or bring her back to Irwin for a quieter evening than the city provides.

We had such a lovely evening (one of the first sunny weekends that Pittsburgh has seen all summer long!) hanging out, walking around Chatham, and telling stories! I loved getting to know Orion & Brad better & look forward to their wedding next summer!
