Gabrielle + Cam’s engagement session at Phipps Conservatory was a plant-lover’s dream – and in the middle of a Pittsburgh winter, no less! Phipps is seriously the best option for getting some summertime greenery in your photos when it’s freezing cold outside. These two are some of my dearest friends, and Gabby and I are […]

McKenzee + Dillon’s wedding day was a long time coming – and after 6 years of tying the knot, they (finally!!) had their celebration last November.

The Backstory The first time I met Paige was at the Pittsburgh Bridal Expo in November of last year. She was desperate for a re-do of their previous engagement session from a different photographer, who rejected Paige’s request for photos at the Pittsburgh Zoo.

Paige & Jake’s Pittsburgh Zoo Engagement Session

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.
