Loren + Joe’s intimate ceremony at The Frick was picture-perfect. These two wanted to celebrate with their closest family and friends in a way that was still thoughtful, beautiful, and intentional while still being fun and low-fuss. I think they absolutely nailed it!!! When we first chatted, Joe shared that while planning their event with […]

Sadie + Noah’s October fall celebration was so uniquely THEM and unlike any wedding I had ever photographed before! Taking place in Sadie’s hometown of Johnstown, their celestial-themed day with DIY details looked stunning in the historic Grand Halle. I started my day at Sadie’s parents house, which had some very cool historical architecture (fitting […]

Jack + Josie’s early October wedding was beautifully autumnal (despite the 80 degree weather) and incredibly fun. Handcrafted details, a cute furry guest of honor, and a SICK streamer exit made for an unforgettable celebration!!! Their day shows that even if you follow a “traditional” wedding structure, there are still so many ways to incorporate […]

Gabrielle and Cameron’s (or, Gabs and Cam) Appalachian, autumnal, DIY wedding was absolutely perfect and 100% them. I was overjoyed to be a part of it – both as a guest and as their photographer.

While Sadie + Noah discussed their ideas for an engagement session with me, they said they wanted the fun, industrial vibes of Pittsburgh without ‘looking like tourists’. I suggested one of my favorite photo spots in the Strip District – Coop de Ville! It has a huge variety of backdrops and cute activities for couples […]

Lexy + Sophie’s (surprise) vow renewal/wedding reception was during the longest day of the year – and they goofed, cheered, and loved from sunrise to sundown. Their 50 closest loved ones traveled from all over the country to celebrate with them, from flower arranging the day before to throwing it back on the dance floor. […]

Gabrielle + Cam’s engagement session at Phipps Conservatory was a plant-lover’s dream – and in the middle of a Pittsburgh winter, no less!

When V + Lillian first reached out to me for photos of their elopement at the Allegheny County Courthouse, I was so excited!! I love the courthouse, and have always been dying to shoot a weekday elopement there. Despite the political unease that led them to elope this January, V + Lilly had the coziest, […]

I’m a Pisces (that’s as far as my astrology knowledge goes), film-lover, former West Virginian, and big fan of cats. I’m all-in for your love story. I’ll be your calm, cool, and collected confidant for the day. Catch me shooting in multiple mediums, carrying your bouquet, or tracking the sunset for the dreamiest lighting possible.

Above all else, I believe that you deserve to be fully present for your wedding. It really does go by in a flash, so the last thing you need is your photographer taking you out of the moment. I'm here to celebrate, not dictate!

Howdy, I'm afton!

LET'S GET CANDID.
