Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer | Christina Montemurro

You can’t go wrong with a session at Frick Park in fall. What a great time of the year for photos! We had a perfect evening for Alexandra and Ryan’s engagement session this past weekend, with plenty of colorful trees and comfortable temperatures.

There are lots and lots of wonderful spots at Frick. Alexandra and Ryan wisely chose the Point Breeze side, by the bowling green. I’ll never forget the first time I encountered the bowling green. We won’t say how many years ago this was, but it was long enough ago that a friend and I were riding mountain bikes all through the park. I was new to Pittsburgh and a bit disoriented when we emerged from the woods and suddenly saw the surreal scene of a crowd of people dressed entirely in green and white. It felt like another world.Nobody was on the green this time, though.We were joined for a bit by Greta, Alexandra and Ryan’s lively Labrador.Thanks for a fun evening! Can’t wait for your wedding at Phipps next summer!

This past Sunday was a wild and unpredictable weeather day. While it was pouring and thundering at my house around 5pm, thankfully an hour later the skies cleared and we had a perfect evening for MacKenzie and David’s engagement session. We met at Station Square, then took the Duquesne Incline up to Mount Washington and enjoyed the view. Here are a few of my favorites.

A special thanks to Susan Montemurro, who I like to call “mom” for coming along on this session to help with lighting. Small world alert: while riding the incline back down, for no apparent reason I said something to my mom in Spanish. This makes little sense because my Spanish isn’t very good, and she speaks Italian. So she answered me in Italian, and the couple next to us overheard, saying, oh you speak Italian? So do we. A little bit more conversation and it turns out that this couple lives in the same Philadelphia suburb as my mom. Crazy!
