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.

Katie & Chris – engagement session on Pittsburgh’s North Shore

Katie and Chris grew up and met here in Pittsburgh, but now live in DC. Given that Pittsburgh has resembled Seattle more than anything else this spring, we were very lucky to have a beautiful Friday evening for their engagement session.

Our original plan of meeting at Rivertowne in the Del Monte building was thwarted by an unprecedented crowd of people all over the North Shore. Apparently there was a concert by a group that I’d never heard of at the new American Eagle venue. Since there was a lengthy wait for Rivertowne, we headed over to the Tilted Kilt instead. For those of you who, like us, had never been to the Tilted Kilt, here’s a little insider information: it’s something of a Scottish Hooters. Enough said?

After a quick round, we wandered around the North Shore amongst the concertgoers (and also promgoers – there was a prom at PNC Park!). Smiles all around for Katie and Chris.

En route to an outfit change, I spotted this moody patch of sky. Amazing how the cloud formation made a heart out of the sun!undefinedThanks to Nicki for coming along to help with lighting.undefinedundefinedundefined

Thanks Katie and Chris! Can’t wait for your July wedding at the Heinz History Center.

Susan & Todd’s engagement session in the Strip District

Susan and Todd will be married this year on the very catchy and memorable date 9-10-11. They live in Washington DC, but spent this past weekend in Pittsburgh to attend to a number of wedding-related activities. Poor folks had to bring some cakes home to taste!

We met in the Strip District for their engagement session. We really lucked out with the weather – for weeks we’d discussed options where we could go if it was really really cold or raining or showing off some other variety of unpleasant Pittsburgh weather. But instead we got a beautiful day, both warm and sunny. Yay!

Susan and Todd had some creative ideas for photos to use as their save the dates. I don’t want to ruin the surprise for anyone, so I’ll just share a few of my favorites that are non-save-the-date-related.
