Sue and Joe

The week of Sue and Joe’s wedding we obsessively checked the weather for signs of rain. Snow was also not out of the question for early April Pittsburgh but we were pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be 81 degrees! We even had enough cloud cover to move all around for portraits while guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the Mayernik Center’s expansive deck.

The ceremony was equal parts sweet, hilarious and short! My kind of ceremony :)

Sue and Joe tied the knot after 13 years together and their guests came ready to celebrate! I loved watching every single one make it to the dance floor over the course of the night.

In true Pittsburgh fashion, it rained at the end but at that point, nothing could dampen the newlywed bliss. Pun intended.

Patterson Family - Fall Session

Kasey messaged me to schedule a photoshoot with her newborn and her sister Kristin’s two kids. We also planned to take a few shots of herself, hubby and their baby boy for their Christmas card. Then Kristin asked if we could take some shots of her family unit. Finally, we decided why not include the grandparents?

I’m so glad we could capture the entire Patterson clan. There’s something so special about having all three generations in one spot. Especially three generations with such perfectly coordinated outfits! Thank you all for agreeing to stand in the road and walk near and far for my creative vision ;)

Side note: not one car came by while taking these photos!

Troy and Lauren - In Love

I met Troy and Lauren this past spring at Kingfly Spirits in the Strip. We quickly bonded over one too many craft cocktails. They are moving from Pittsburgh this fall so we met for a session to commemorate their time in the Steel City. Thanks for a fun afternoon guys and best of luck on your next adventures. XO, Tillie

Adam - Motorcycle Lifestyle shoot

A few weeks back I had my brother model for me so I could practice with a new lens. He brought his 1978 Honda CB750 to Highland Park and puttered around a little. Some people (me) might say good looks run in the family.

Thanks for putting up with me bro! - Tillie

Tony and Jenny - Married!

After many years together Tony and Jenny tied the knot on a warm day in July. In a sweet surprise Tony sang to Jenny as she walked down the aisle. They also wrote their own vows and read each others’. 

They had the cutest bridal party complete with their pup Cash. The ring bearers made sure to remind their Pap and Gip when it was time to cut the cake.  Their sons split the mother-son dance and Tony turned out to be quite the flosser! 

I hope you two always exude the joy and love you did on your wedding day. Thank you for having me capture your day.  xo, Tillie

Mesa is One!

When your 1st birthday is July 2nd you go forth with a ‘Merica themed shoot ;)

Orange Family Session

Just two days before Christmas I met up with the Orange Family for a family session in Short Gap, WV. In a case of great timing, their session aligned perfectly with my visit home for the holidays.

While we were hoping for snow we lucked out with an almost warm overcast day. They arrived dressed to impress; although Maverick did not want to keep his hat on! Who doesn’t love a baby in Carhartt?!

Kelsey and Travis’s Families joined in for a few pictures.

Thanks to Kelsey and Travis for having me document this season of your lives. Can’t wait for the next one :)
