&nbsp;
I've always been a hopeless romantic at heart. I believe that there's something truly magical about love and the different ways it manifests itself. This belief is a significant part of my work. I strive to capture the authenticity, joy, and heart of each moment - the raw emotions that make each story unique and each photograph a treasure.
&nbsp;
When Brandon and Natalia reached out to me they wanted everything Pittsburgh so we had to resort to one of my favorite spots for shoots is the beautiful Allegheny Landing. The stunning natural backdrop, coupled with the city's charm, makes for some truly breathtaking photos. It's always great when couples choose this spot for their engagement sessions. It's always great to get our beautiful city with our yellow bridges in the background. They also wanted to make sure we get that magical sunlight of golden hour. Finally after a couple of cancellations due to weather we managed to get the best beautiful day ever. I am so excited to showcase there love story for there Wedding Day coming Sept 2025.
&nbsp;
In essence, photography for me is more than just a job - it's a passion, it's a way to connect, and above all, it's a privilege. Being invited to capture the most special moments in people&rsquo;s lives is an honor I don&rsquo;t take lightly. And with every click of the shutter, I am reminded of why I love what I do.
&nbsp;
So, here's to Brandon and Natalia, to moments of joy they share together, to heartwarming stories for them to share with there family someday , and to many more years of Love and Happiness. #bestjobever❤️

Allegheny Landing

Hello there! I&rsquo;m thrilled you&rsquo;ve chosen to embark on this exciting journey with me. As a seasoned photographer, I understand the significance of your engagement session. It's not just about snapping a few photos; it's a chance for us to get to know each other, for you to get comfortable in front of the camera, and to create stunning, memorable images that reflect your unique love story.
&nbsp;
Outfit Choices: What you wear can significantly influence the outcome of your photos. Remember, comfort is key! Choose outfits that reflect your personalities and make you feel fabulous. Coordinating but not necessarily matching is a great rule of thumb. Incorporating a mix of casual and formal outfits can add variety to your gallery. And don't forget, solids photograph best, but don't shy away from patterns that speak to your style!
&nbsp;
Location Selection: The location for your engagement session should be meaningful to you as a couple. Whether it's the park where you had your first date, your favorite coffee shop, or a stunning natural landscape, the location should resonate with your story. But remember, it&rsquo;s not so much about the backdrop as it is about the emotions and connection between the two of you. I&rsquo;m here to help if you&rsquo;re having trouble pinpointing the perfect spot!
&nbsp;
Posing Ideas: When it comes to posing, leave the heavy lifting to me! My goal is to guide you into natural, comfortable positions that capture your genuine interactions and emotions. Don't worry about looking 'perfect.' Instead, focus on each other - let the laughs, kisses, and loving looks come naturally. The more relaxed you are, the better your photos will capture your unique love story.
&nbsp;
Remember, your engagement session is supposed to be a fun, enjoyable experience! It's a chance to take a break from wedding planning, to connect with each other, and to create lasting memories. So, let's embrace the unexpected, let's laugh and explore, and most importantly, let's create something beautiful together. I can't wait to work with you!

The Top 5 Wedding Venues in Pittsburgh, PA

The day you say 'I do' is one that will be cherished forever, a momentous occasion filled with joy, laughter, and tears of happiness. With that said, it's crucial to capture these extraordinary moments in the best way possible, and there's no better way to do that than by hiring a professional wedding photographer.
&nbsp;
A professional photographer brings a myriad of benefits to your wedding. First and foremost, they deliver high-quality photographs that stand the test of time. These are not just snapshots taken on a smartphone, but carefully crafted images that capture the essence of your special day. A professional photographer has the expertise to adjust for lighting conditions, frame the subjects, and capture spontaneous moments that might otherwise be missed. They have superior equipment, knowledge about the best angles, and an eye for capturing the most touching moments. In short, they can create a visual narrative of your wedding day that you will treasure for a lifetime.
&nbsp;
Another important aspect of hiring a professional photographer is their ability to put people at ease during the photo shoot. Weddings can often be a whirlwind of activities and emotions, which can sometimes result in tense, forced smiles or awkward poses. A professional photographer, with their warm demeanor and experience, can help to relax everyone, allowing for more natural poses and genuine smiles. They can navigate the complexities of family dynamics, and subtly direct the shoot in a way that everyone feels comfortable and relaxed.
&nbsp;
Additionally, professional photographers are adept at managing time and staying organized amidst the wedding chaos. They can coordinate with your planner or the venue staff to ensure no important moments or details are overlooked. From the bride's preparation, to the groom's first look, to the exchange of vows, and the reception festivities, a professional photographer ensures that every moment is beautifully captured.
&nbsp;
In conclusion, while it may seem tempting to entrust this task to a friend or family member with a good camera, remember that your wedding photos are a lasting investment. The value that a professional photographer brings in terms of experience, skill, and peace of mind is simply priceless. Because when the wedding day is over, and the cake has been eaten, what remains are the memories and the photos that encapsulate them. And there's no one better to entrust with this responsibility than a professional photographer.

Why Hiring a Professional Photographer for Your Wedding is a Must

If you are in need of a photographer, then look no further. We had the true fortune of hiring Amy for our engagement photos/wedding, and not only did the pictures turn out fantastic, but she was also a hoot to have on our day! She made us feel comfortable all while having a blast. Can’t recommend her enough!

Austyn Yatison

We hired Amy for our wedding and she was amazing. Amy is the first one to let you know she will do anything needed to get the pictures you want. She was on time (actually early), upbeat, super positive, uplifting and made us LAUGH. She is clearly passionate about her work and pays great attention to detail. She also followed our time line and made sure everything got done. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

Haylie West

Highly recommend Jennings photography. Amy was my backbone during my wedding and delivered everything we collaborated on- & then-some!! Could not have done it without her. She truly was a delight to work with and I look forward to recommending her to my family & friends who are getting married in the future.

You will find the about page from my existing website between the “” below. You can use this section primarily for tone of voice and style as opposed to content. Make sure that all references to the self are in the first person singular, as I am the only photographer on my team. Please also ensure that there are no references to “our team” or “our photographer”. Instead, all writing should be coming directly from me. I would also like it to be quite down to earth and without lots of fluff and flowery language
