Erika & Kenneth's Longue Vue Club Wedding

Erika & KJ are surrounded by so much love in their lives. The way KJ takes care of Erika is such a beautiful picture of the gentleman he will continue as their marriage strengthens and deepens with time. I think one of the most beautiful assets to a relationship is the ability to light up the world and that is Erika. She radiates light and joy. Their people are their people and there’s nothing better than your own personal hype squad. Seeing their gentle spirits vow to one another for a lifetime, was incredibly beautiful to not only be a part of to witness but to document. Their beautiful day began the same way it ended, surrounded by those they love the most, settled in at Longue Vue Club, a stunning, European inspired wedding venue just east of downtown Pittsburgh. The old-world stone architecture is surrounded by breathtaking views of the golf course with rolling hills and picturesque views, overlooking the city of bridges. We snuck up to the infamous tree at the top of the course and took in every last bit of daylight as the golden sky began to settle. We took the long way back to the club before E&K danced the night away with their people.

Hannah, Alex & baby S

Hannah & Alex are two of the most light-hearted souls and I could not be more excited for the two of them as they prepare to welcome their baby boy into the world at the beginning of May!

H&A also have hearts of gold and met white serving as EMT’s (I know this bc I had the honor of second shooting their wedding, cue all of the tears). Alex is in grad school and I’d never be able to tell you in a million years what it’s for because its way over my head. The footprint they’ve laid down for the son, is a big one to fill, but I have without a doubt, he’ll shine bright, just like his parents do!<3 I can’t wait to meet you little one!

Erika and Ken's Engagement

Black Friday in Pittsburgh ended up being quite the opposite. We were blessed with abundant sunshine and instead of shopping, I spent the last hours of sunlight celebrating Erika and Ken’s undeniable love and incredibly sweet season being an engaged couple. The two of them are so down to earth and so easy to be around — I could not be more excited for their summer wedding this July! Love you two!<3
