Valdone and Matt’s Hartwood Acres engagement photos took place on a breezy summer day at one of Pittsburgh’s most popular engagement session locations. With the mansion as a backdrop and warm seasonal light throughout the park, it was the perfect setting for their session.
These two are the sweetest pair. We met up with them at the mansion to photograph their engagement session. You could not have asked for better weather. It was a wonderful, breezy summer day and truly a great day for photos.
Valdone is Lithuanian, and she and Matt met while attending Oberlin College in Ohio. They share such a calm, genuine connection, which made photographing them feel effortless.
I am especially looking forward to their wedding this fall. Some of Valdone’s family will be visiting the United States for the first time, which will make the celebration even more meaningful. It is going to be a great wedding.
Halfway through the session, they changed outfits to add a second look to their engagement photos. Their outfits were thoughtfully coordinated without being overly matchy, which photographed beautifully against both the mansion and the park setting.
This set of photos made me laugh, and there was no way I was leaving it out. When couples feel comfortable enough to be themselves, the images feel effortless. I always encourage natural interaction and a little bit of playfulness during engagement sessions.
