Michelle + Ryan <3 Pittsburgh Engagement Photos

Michelle and Ryan are two amazing Pittsburgher's planning their perfect destination wedding, so they wanted a gorgeous memory of engagement photos with the skyline as their background. We showcased the city by starting on Mt Washington, but went to one of Mt Washington's greatest secrets and started the engagement photos at Emerald View Park. This trail system loops around the whole mountainside and gives hikers views of the great outdoors and the city. While we missed the leaves, the complex vine system of the tree branches echoed a beautiful love story. As we walked through the woods, I really was able to learn a lot about Michelle and Ryan (like Ryan and I both went to IUP and that together, they have 4 dogs!). After the park, we visited the famous Grandview overlooks and admired the Pittsburgh skyline. During the shoot, we could hear the fans roaring from Heinz Field as the Steelers were crushing the Cleveland Browns 30-9. From there we went to Grandview Park and then down to get more engagement photos at Hot Metal Bridge in the Southside. We concluded the night with one last stop in the Southside close to 23rd st for a few shots against an ivy covered wall with gorgeous warm shades! Congrats on your engagement Michelle and Ryan!
