Emma (& Andrew),

Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me this afternoon. I truly enjoyed getting to know you and hearing more about your vision for such a beautiful and elegant celebration at Calvary Episcobal Church and Pittsburgh Golf Club. Our conversation left me excited about your day, and I would be absolutely honored to document your wedding and be a part of such a meaningful chapter for you both.

On our call, we discussed:

+You met and live in NYC; Emma is from Pittsburgh and Andrew from Raleigh

+You envisioned a hometown Pittsburgh wedding and are expecting 60-70% of guests to be flying in and wanted to keep them closer to Pittsburgh verses further driving

+You wanted to get married in 2028 but were gently guided by elders to compromise on 2027 :)

+You imagine a lot of outdoor photos and we discussed Mellon Park being a perfect place between the ceremony and reception for the first look & bridal party photos

+You love the idea of a first look to break up the time in front of the camera; you do not want to feel like a zoo animal taking photos and love a mix of the classic posted portraits but also love the in-between organic and natural ones

+You will have a traditional Episcopal church ceremony and Andrew will be turned around facing the altar and we discussed the importance of having two photographers; your parents got married at the same church!

+The reception after will be time to let loose and have fun!

+We discussed 8 hours of coverage, a Pittsburgh engagement session sometime this year and you mentioned welcome party coverage for your in laws who are hosting

Below is what I think would compliment your day beautifully. We can customize any of these to tailor anything further!
