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!

Pittsburgh featured on NPR!

December 26, 2010

Those of us who live in Pittsburgh know how great it is. But the rest of the country still needs some convincing. Helping us makes a small step in that direction, NPR recently did a feature on Pittsburgh. Not only did this segment air on the radio, but NPR also selected it for its “Story of the Day” podcast, garnering some extra attention (including me).

The story covers Pittsburgh’s transformation from steel town to cauldron of technology. Pretty neat stuff! You can read the article or listen to it at NPR’s website. The highlight? The closing line, which reads, “Pittsburgh is a city that doesn’t wait for things to happen anymore. And that’s why other cities that are trying to emerge from their industrial pasts now look to Pittsburgh with envy.” Yay!

Three years ago today

December 24, 2010

In about another two weeks, I’ll be saying “three years ago today, Jonas was born.” But with all the holiday preparation going on this year, I was reminded of this time three years ago, when we were eagerly awaiting Jonas’s arrival into the world. We kept telling Leo that he would soon have a new brother or sister (we chose to be surprised, as we were with Leo), but I can only imagine that he didn’t believe it would ever really happen.It was hard to imagine what life would be like with more than one little one to look after. How could anyone be as cute and fun as Leo?

I was a bit bigger three years ago than I am now. Here I am on December 24, at 38 weeks.

How did I feel? Tired at night, for sure, but overall, I felt pretty good. In some ways, pregnancy number 2 is harder – because you’re more tired from taking care of child #1. But that can also make it easier, because child #1 provides so much entertainment and distraction. Like this.
