Last Sunday was one of the most beautiful days yet this fall, just perfect weather for Emily and Tim’s engagement session. Emily and Tim’s wedding is set for next May, with their ceremony in a church in a South Side – and so the South Side was our destination.
Also joining us was Emily and Tim’s adorable dog, Baxter.








Thanks for a fun evening, Emily and Tim! I’m very much looking forward to your wedding next May. Here’s hoping for another beautiful day!

Random recommendation:
I don’t spend much time on the South Side and don’t know too much about the many bars and restaurants there. But I have had the opportunity to go to (warning before you click: the following site plays music) The Milkshake Factory a couple times. Who can say no to a pumpkin milkshake? Delicious!

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.

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!




Showing their WVU Mountaineer pride!





Thanks, Tiffany & Joe!

Saturday evening was perfect for an engagement shoot. Nikki & Kyle met me at Frick Park and we explored the stone walls and ivy-covered buildings.



Nikki & Kyle – I did get a couple shots with the ice cream truck… but opted not to include those. ;)

Thank you both for helping to move this ridiculously heavy bench.

We then headed over to the South Side Works. I love this little plaza that has tables with built-in chess boards, as well as a giant chess board on the ground.

That dot in the sky in the top right – not a balloon. Not sensor dust. It’s a blimp, flying over Heinz Field during a Kenny Chesney concert.
Our last stop was the Hot Metal Street bridge, where we watched the sun go down.
