Such an awesome couple! I'm so excited for their wedding!
Valentines Day | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer
Whether you celebrate Valentines Day or do not recognize Hallmark holidays - I hope yesterday was a wonderful day for you!
Although only a few people we know actually celebrated the day - my boyfriend and I decided to. (We both love getting dressed up and going out, so really any excuse to do those things will have us excited.) He surprised me with dinner at one of our favorite restaurants followed by a screening of "Just Go With It" - which, by the way, is one of the funniest movie's I have seen in ages!
It was an absolutely wonderful day in every way possible and I feel so lucky that I was able to spend it with such a great guy - who also happens to be so photogenic!
A little back story about my boyfriend and I -
In August of 2006, I was sitting in a meeting with my fellow co-workers at a local H&M store when this boy who looked just a little younger than me walked in. He was new - decked out in a band t-shirt, piano belt and a multicolored fauxhawk. I swooned immediately, whispering to my friend across the table that he was adorable. We didn't speak at all during that meeting and he seemed to be gone just as quickly as he had arrived.
A few days later we worked our first shift together. We had only talked for about 5 minutes before I realized I had nearly everything in common with him. We were both in relationships and I knew nothing would come of my silly work-crush, but I was sure we'd become very close friends fast - and we did. It was only a matter of time until we were chatting online every night and comparing our schedules to see when we worked together next. No matter what stresses I was going through in my personal life, I looked forward to going to work because he seemed to be the only person who could put my mind at ease.
Fast forward 2 years later - we are both single and dating other people off and on, sharing our horror stories of bad relationships and pointless dates. Suddenly it hit me. I realized that the only reason I had stayed at that particular job for so long was because of him. It was time to confess the workcrush that had turned into so much more.
I was absolutely terrified at the idea of telling him as I did not want to risk messing up such a fantastic friendship. Another coworker ended up telling him for me in an extremely silly way! The very next day, he tells me that he has felt the same way since the day we met. I'm almost certain that when he said those words, I saw heart-shaped balloons and fireworks exploding all around. It was the best news I had ever received. That was one of the happiest moments of my life.

Spring Portrait Special! Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer
The weather has been a bit moody lately. One day it's bitterly cold and the next is warm with the smell of Spring in the air. I'm personally perfectly alright with the bitter cold as long as there are a few warm days in the mix! This small preview of Spring has me so excited! The thought of being able to schedule sessions outdoor knowing that my fingers won't be numb by the end of the day is wonderful!
To welcome the warm weather, I'm offering a Spring special this year. Let's work together and create some great memories! This special includes a beautiful 4x4 lay-flat fine art album for you to treasure for years to come. This is a great idea for families, newly engaged couples and ladies interested in a boudoir session!
