Luke + Spenser’s Pittsburgh Engagement Session | April 17, 2019 | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer

Last month, Donny and I had the pleasure of meeting up with Luke + Spenser for their urban Pittsburgh engagement session! We were so excited to finally connect with these two after months of chatting and planning. They were very sweet, genuine, and fun to work with, despite handling the stress of juggling logistics, school, careers, and planning a wedding in a short amount of time! Their energy and love for one another was evident and infectious, and it was clear almost immediately that they had a very tight bond and friendship—which is sometimes overshadowed by the busyness & craziness of life, but so important for a marriage! Luke + Spenser appear to be meant for each other and it’s always such a joy to realize that during our sessions and wedding day experiences!

Although we are partial to Cleveland as homegrown Ohio kids (go Brownies!), we always love traveling to Pittsburgh for shoots, and for fun! The city is such a beautiful location for photos given its scenic backdrops including its architecture, bridges, hills, overlooks, the river, and more! Luke + Spenser’s session features many of these elements. Enjoy some of our favorite moments from their photo shoot! 🙂

 They were naturals in front of the camera. And can I say Spenser’s makeup looked perfect?!

Kind Words

We are so happy with our experience that we had to yell it from the mountain tops! They made sure we got all of the dreamy photos we were hoping for! It snowed like crazy, but nothing fazes these two!
