modern pittsburgh photography

lindsay really wanted a bright vintage feel to her and joe’s engagement shoot,

so we started at the old garden theater on the north side.

I was so excited when they showed up like this!  -tif

i’m not to sure what you did here tiff,

but i like it :) – jonathan

you took these, i just squished them together.  -tif

the rest of this shoot was pure luck.

check out the ice cream truck that drove by while we were shooting!  -tif

come on now!

luck?!

that was our pure talent that lured this vintage ice cream truck right into our shot.

but not really :) – jonathan

after we had our fill at the theater we wondered around the are for a while

with intentions of heading toward the Mexican war street area, but we found this!!!!!!

we we so excited.  -tif

we turned a corner saw this amazing place and, without hesitation ,

were greeted by a gentleman we introduce at the end of the blog.

“hello welcome to my neighborhood. this is my house”

he turned and pointed to this glorious sight!- jonathan

Randy, the owner of this house and most of the block,

proceeded to tell us all about the history of the area,

he even let us shoot inside his back yard/theme park!- jonathan

kudos to Lindsay for bringing this book along!- jonathan

we headed across the street to the oldest standing fire house in old Allegheny.

super sunny and fun shadows are a good combo.  -tif

as we were shooting here a mom brought her little girl out to watch.

the little girl wanted to see the “prince and princess” get their pictures taken.
