Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer | Christina Montemurro bio picture
  • Hello! I’m Christina.

    Welcome! If you're looking for a wedding or portrait photographer in the Pittsburgh area, you're in the right place.

    Choosing a photographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make during your wedding planning. It's so important to find someone you can trust to capture the big and small moments of your wedding day, and someone who makes you feel comfortable at ease.

    I'm known for being laid back and relaxed, and respect that this is your day to celebrate and enjoy. My goal is to get you beautiful images efficiently and unobtrusively so that you have lots of time for fun.

Stefany & Patrick's Wedding – Salvatore's

This past Saturday I had the privilege of working as second shooter for Jess Slavic of JESPhotography as she photographed Stefany & Patrick’s wedding. This sweet couple got super lucky with a gorgeous sunny June day.

The flowers were amazing, from the flower girls’ baskets to the bouquets to the centerpieces at the reception.

This little girl is going to be a star someday. I didn’t ask to take her picture or ask her to pose… she was sitting on this ledge, caught my eye and tilted her head… so of course I shot away.

Stefany & Patrick’s reception was held at Salvatore’s in Baldwin, just a little south of Pittsburgh.

Nikki & Kyle – engagement

Saturday evening was perfect for an engagement shoot. Nikki & Kyle met me at Frick Park and we explored the stone walls and ivy-covered buildings.

Nikki & Kyle – I did get a couple shots with the ice cream truck… but opted not to include those. ;)

Thank you both for helping to move this ridiculously heavy bench.

We then headed over to the South Side Works. I love this little plaza that has tables with built-in chess boards, as well as a giant chess board on the ground.

That dot in the sky in the top right – not a balloon. Not sensor dust. It’s  a blimp, flying over Heinz Field during a Kenny Chesney concert.

Our last stop was the Hot Metal Street bridge, where we watched the sun go down.

Emma’s mom reports that Emma loves watching America’s Next Top Model. You’d never guess, otherwise, would you?
