I loooooove engagement sessions. It gives me an opportunity to get to know you and have fun taking photos for awhile without the stress and tight timeline of a wedding day. Plus, there’s no such thing as too many photos! Engagement sessions are all about you — what kind of session describes YOU best? City photos downtown? A casual date in the park? A couple drinks at your favorite coffee shop? All of the above?
Here are a few of our favorite and most-popular locations (I have other favorites too, just ask for more recommendations!):
- Downtown Pittsburgh. Lots of cool areas here (Convention Center, Market Square, PPG, The Pennsylvanian, buildings, alleys, etc.)
- Local farms; we know a couple with a ton of gorgeous flowers, views, and scenery. Perfect for an outdoor or Fall session.
- Strip District. The best place for a real urban and industrial feel. Factories, brick walls, graffiti, train tracks, tire yards, bridge underpasses, etc.
- Washington’s Landing
- South Side and/or South Side Works (Hot Metal Bridge, bike trail, etc.)
- Station Square
- Peters Lake Park
- Raccoon Creek State Park (beautiful lake, fields, wooded areas, etc.)
- North Park
- Mellon Park (great park with wrought iron, a courtyard, stone stairs, etc.)
- Moon Park/Robin Hill Park
- Hartwood Acres
- Schenley Park, and/or around Phipps Conservatory
- Oakland (Pitt University campus, CMU campus, Mellon Institute pillars, etc.)
- Kennywood
- Chatham University campus
- Washington & Jefferson College
- Lawrenceville (trendy shops and restaurants)
- North Side (Mexican War Streets, West Park, etc.)
- North Shore (near the stadiums & river)
- Bridges in Pittsburgh (Hot Metal Bridge, the yellow bridges near the stadiums, and Smithfield St. bridge are my favs)
- Mt. Washington (overlooks, incline, etc.)
Now what!?
Get a hold of me!! Most of our wedding collections already include an engagement session, though if you’re only interested in an engagements session that’s okay too. Engagement sessions without a wedding commission begin at $600 and include up to 2 hours at locations of your choice, professionally-edited high resolution digital photos, and reprint rights. Contact me to schedule your session!
