wedding portfolio

artful storytelling

Here’s a curated collection of my favorite wedding photos from over the years. Every good image tells a story about the people in it, but these are the photos that exceed that level and have something magical about them. As a Pittsburgh Wedding photographer whose work is largely documentary in style, it’s hard to pick singles out of each of the wedding stories that these photos came from. So I encourage you to look through the blog posts that they came from in addition to looking over this wedding portfolio. You’ll love the amazing couples that I’ve been so lucky to work with. Enjoy!
