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!

Silver/white flush mount wedding album

January 28, 2012

Ah, wedding albums… the possibilities are endless. One color, two colors, photo on the cover, no photo on the cover… it’s up to you.

I love seeing what my clients choose, and whenever possible, I try to shoot a few photos of albums before I send them on their way. In the realm of better-late-than-never, I’d like to share Katie and Chris’s album. This was delivered to them back in December, but with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I didn’t get a chance to share. This one is stunning! The silver shimmers and is set off by the white accent strip, and I love how the lines of the convention center walkway complement the horizontal accent strip.

Wedding details: fall wedding theme

January 27, 2012

When medical students Amy and Andrew began planning their wedding, they knew they’d need some help coordinating the details. They wisely chose Shayla Hawkins to take care of all of their reception planning, giving her just two instructions. The first was that it should be a fall theme. Blooms created these gorgeous floral arrangements for the church.I couldn’t get enough of this bouquet! Love the deep, rich, intense colors.This pretty backdrop sat on the table with the escort cards at the reception.I love the attention to detail – even the votive candles here are a deep fall color.Amy’s second request: the centerpieces would be baskets of apples, which would be donated to an organization in need the next day.  Festive and functional! And don’t overlook the stationery.Loved that the first course was butternut squash soup. Delicious!And even the desserts matched the theme! More photos of this cake here.More photos of this cookie table here.
