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.

More luscious wedding cinema – Anna & Nick

Wedding season is getting into high gear! I’m looking forward to sharing some photos from Rachel & Lee’s wedding this past weekend, but I also wanted to share the latest from my other project, Syncopated Pictures.

Two weekends ago I had the awesome pleasure once again of shooting cinema alongside my great fun friend and amazing photographer, Randi Voss. You can see a whole lot of photos from Anna & Nick’s wedding on Randi’s blog. You don’t want to miss the bridal party alongside a big dinosaur and a gorgeous bride and groom in front of a wall of butterflies. (My favorite image is the one in front of the color wall with the reflection of the tree.)

After you look at the photos, be sure you head over to the Syncopated Pictures blog to watch Anna & Nick’s three-minute-forty-five-second feature film. I’m pretty proud of it!

No photographer’s blog post is complete without pictures… so, here are a few detail shots from the reception. I had just a little down time before the reception started. Randi knows I love to shoot details, so she encouraged me to capture a few shots of the room. Enjoy these two photos of the amazing setup of the Music Hall Foyer.

Party of SEVEN

Remember Jerri & Jacob from their beautiful wedding last month? That day I had the double pleasure of not just photographing their wedding celebration, but also shooting family portraits for Jerri’s sister, Shannon, who was visiting from Mississippi. Jerri also has another sister, Lindsay, who lives in the Pittsburgh area, and wanted some family pictures, too.

Lindsay’s family is a little bigger than Shannon’s. Rattling off Lindsay’s kids’ ages might frighten those not terribly fond of the din of children. There are five of them, and they’re 11, 10, 9, 4 and 3. Yep, that’s right. I give Lindsay more credit than there’s space to list here, because she did not seem the slightest bit overwhelmed or stressed. And now that I’ve met these five kids, I can see why. I didn’t hear any whining, fighting, squabbling, moaning or grousing. I’m not sure anyone even rolled their eyes. (Lindsay, feel free to fill me in on your secret!)

Without further ado, meet Cameron.

Caitlin.

Emily.

Hannah

Joseph.

The two little ones were so cute playing together.

Just the girls. Hannah was not too crazy about getting these smooches from her sisters.

The boys were not going to go for the smooching.

I was so honored that the girls showed me their dance routine.We also spent some time enjoying the scenery. How could you not on such a beautiful fall day?

A picture of the parents – without kids? Absolutely.

Thanks so much to all of you for such a fun morning! It was a pleasure to see you again.
