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.

    Please look through my galleries and scroll down for recent work, and then contact me to reserve your date!

Engagement Session Coffee Table Guestbook Album

Okay, so that’s an awfully long title for what’s a very simple, beautiful, elegant product.

Here’s the idea: instead of a line-filled book that your wedding guests sign, I can custom-design a hardcover album for you with images from your engagement session. The design allows plenty of space around your pictures for guests to write their good wishes for you.

You can choose a solid color photo, or use one of your images as your cover. The covers are so smooth – you have to touch one to fully appreciate it.

Your images are printed directly onto the pages of the book.

And these aren’t just for weddings – they are great for family and lifestyle sessions, too! Contact me at info at christinamontemurrophotography dot com for more information.

This is a great idea. A long name for sure, but a great idea. For babies too…

Danielle & Tom’s wedding { Duquesne University | Radisson Greentree }

This past Saturday, September 12, 2009, I was so thrilled to join the talented and enthusiastic Randi Voss for Danielle and Tom’s wedding.

What a sweet couple! Danielle and Tom were both so calm, laidback and relaxed. You could clearly tell that they were listening to the advice that so many give to couples getting married: “just relax and try to enjoy every minute because it goes so fast.”

Danielle was all smiles. All day!

After the ceremony in Duquesne’s beautiful chapel, we walked through the campus for some pictures. (One of the groomsmen, a Penn Stater, saw the football field and asked if that was the “practice field.” I guess it is a little smaller than Beaver Stadium, which probably seats about 107,000 more people.)

In Randi’s blog post, she shared a photo of her removing a very long yellow rope that would have interfered significantly with the group bridal party photo. I’d like to document that she did indeed put it back!

Danielle & Tom’s reception was at the Radisson in Greentree. They chose table names rather than numbers, and the names were various places, people and items significant to them.

Christina,

Thank you so much for coming with me to Danielle and Tom’s wedding. It was great to have your support (photographic and otherwise). You got so many great shots! I’m a sucker for air guitar.
