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.

Tiffany & Joe – engagement session – Mellon Park, Shadyside

June 16, 2009

Tiffany & Joe met me Sunday evening at Mellon Park in Shadyside. Joe was a little puzzled when I suggested Mellon Park as our destination, as he was familiar with the side of the park with the baseball fields and basketball courts. The park, however, spreads across busy 5th Avenue, and on the other side, there are beautiful gardens, stone walls, iron gates… cobblestones… I could spend all day there.

Tiffany & Joe are gorgeous!

These are great. Awesome clarity in these photos. That dramatic lighting shot is my favorite. I just love the way it makes me feel when I look at it! They look so cute and so comfortable with you!

Stefany & Patrick's Wedding – Salvatore's

June 15, 2009

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.
