This edgy wedding styled shoot in Pittsburgh was one I was very happy to attend and have a hand in planning. It was the perfect end to my season, and a breath of fresh air during the pandemic. I don’t do too many styled photoshoots throughout the year, but there are times when I find it appropriate, especially during my off season. Jessica with Jessica Elyse Events wanted to collaborate and planned absolutely everything, so how could I say no? I didn’t. 

While I normally serve the Columbus, Ohio and Cleveland, Ohio areas, it was really fun to travel over to Pittsburgh for this. Pittsburgh, for me, is close enough to serve and I’d love to travel here a lot more. If you are looking for a wedding photographer or any vendor listed below, you can inquire here. I serve mostly Ohio, but travel frequently to capture love stories that matter. 

We had some of the best vendors in the business here on this day, and we went totally against your typical styled shoot by creating a whole mood with bold colors and unique looks. There were beautiful wedding florals, metal flat lay pieces, wooden decor, velvet details and two perfect models. 

We began in the gardens with details and the first chosen gown with lace detail and a simple hair piece, and finished under the bridge with a cool motorcycle decorated with the most perfect florals. If I were to picture a perfect Pittsburgh elopement, this would be it!
