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!

Structure of Shadow – Pittsburgh Center for the Arts

January 4, 2010

Guests at Emily & Don’s wedding at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts had the benefit of not just attending an uplifting ceremony and enjoying a delicious meal, but they also had access to the Center’s art exhibits. One of the most striking was called “Structure of Shadow.” For insight from the installation’s creator, check out this feature by Mary Thomas for the Post-Gazette.

For some photos of the installation, look here.

I could have spent a LOT more time in here, if I wasn’t there to shoot a wedding!

Who knew the lights at Hartwood Acres could be so funny?

January 3, 2010

We celebrated New Year’s Day by going to see the lights at Hartwood Acres. We missed it last year, and I was determined to make it this year. It hasn’t changed much, but it is still quite spectacular. I captured a little bit of video of my favorite parts with my point and shoot camera.

Leo fell asleep on the way there but woke up and stayed awake for the whole tour. When we first arrived, Jonas said, “yay, lights!” but then went into sort of a daze as he sucked on the collar of his coat. But he did stay awake too, for the whole trip through the park and even the whole drive home.

It was snowing a little bit. There is one section where there are blue lights on all the trees and then twinkling white snowflakes scattered all around. I said, “hey, it’s snowing!”

Matt’s reply: “it’s a light snow.” How I laughed! I’m such a sucker for bad puns.

Here’s the one-minute-plus video.
