Mount Washington Engagement Session | Jenna & Greg’s Love Story

Today, I woke up early, camera in hand, ready to document the love story of Jenna and Greg atop the breathtaking Mount Washington in Pittsburgh. As the city lights faded into the morning sun, I couldn’t help but feel excited—there’s nothing quite like capturing the beginning of a lifelong journey for two people madly in love.

Jenna and Greg are young, vibrant, and completely smitten with one another. Their love for Krispy Kreme, science, and witty banter is only matched by the way they light up when they’re together. Every engagement session is unique, but there was something extra special about this one.

A Swipe That Led to Forever

Like so many modern love stories, Jenna and Greg met online. With one simple swipe right, they entered what would soon become a lifetime relationship. Their connection was instant, and after a few conversations, they knew they had to meet in person.

Labor Day became their unofficial anniversary—the day they saw each other in real life for the first time. What started as casual conversations quickly turned into late-night talks about their favorite TV shows, childhood memories, and their shared love for science. Greg knew from early on that Jenna was someone incredibly special, and it didn’t take long before he started envisioning a future with her.

Fast forward a year, and Greg had a plan—one that involved Red Velvet Cake and a life-changing question.

The Sweetest Proposal – Red Velvet & Forever

Greg is not a man to waste time when he knows what he wants. And in Jenna, he found his person. So, when the moment felt right, he planned a surprise proposal—one as sweet as their love story.

On a seemingly ordinary day, Jenna found herself in front of a Red Velvet Cake, but this was no ordinary dessert. Inside, a ring was waiting—paired with the most important question Greg would ever ask:

"Will you marry me?"

Of course, Jenna said YES! The moment was filled with laughter, love, and maybe a few happy tears.

Mount Washington Engagement Session – A Love That Shines

When Jenna and Greg reached out for their engagement session in Pittsburgh, we knew Mount Washington would be the perfect spot. The scenic overlook, with the entire city skyline in the background, offers some of the best views in town. Morning light, fresh air, and two people deeply in love? Absolute perfection.

From the second they stepped in front of my lens, their chemistry was undeniable. Greg couldn’t take his eyes off Jenna for even a moment. Whether they were sharing a laugh about their favorite TV shows or reminiscing about meeting each other’s parents, the connection between them was effortless.

They made my job easy. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just pure, candid moments that truly captured who they are as a couple.

What Makes Engagement Photography Special?

I’ve photographed countless engagement sessions, but every couple brings something different. What makes engagement photography so special isn’t just the backdrop or the golden-hour lighting—it’s the genuine love and personality that each couple brings.

With Jenna and Greg, it was:
✔ The way they made each other laugh effortlessly
✔ The playful way Greg teased Jenna, and how she rolled her eyes but couldn’t stop smiling
✔ The unspoken connection, like they had a world of inside jokes between just the two of them

These moments are what make engagement sessions so much more than just a photoshoot. They’re about freezing a feeling in time—one that will still bring a smile to their faces years down the road.
