Point State Park | North Shore Riverwalk Pittsburgh Engagement Session

We warned you on our Instagram that we’d be blogging a whole bunch of engagement session goodness in the coming days & here we goooo! We got to hang out with Jenny & Rick at Point State Park, the North Shore Riverwalk, and on the Roberto Clemente Bridge. . . basically we did a nice little tour of downtown Pittsburgh. We love hanging out with these two because they make us smile & we love hearing about their cruise adventures, their dog adoption stories, and their Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade fun. Jenny has gotten to participate in and sing in the parade a few times! Oh and not to mention they are super adorable together and so in love. Their wedding day next April is going to be AMAZING!  Point State Park North Shore Riverwalk PittsburghPoint State Park North Shore Riverwalk Pittsburgh Point State Park was looking lovely & summery that day awash in sunshine. One of the cool things about shooting there is that you can find little nooks of beauty where it appears you’re secluded when there are, in fact, people bustling all around.

Sun mixed with clouds is always dramatic & striking. Point State Park North Shore Riverwalk PittsburghThis dress was really pretty, too. And the way these two look at each other communicates so much.Point State Park North Shore Riverwalk PittsburghAnd we have to share their proposal story because it is sooooo darn cute! Rick surprised Jenny with a huge spread of Panera breakfast in bed at a super early hour because she was getting ready to go to NYC the next day for the Thanksgiving Day Parade and had to leave really early to get some things finished at work that day. Rick already had a surprise dinner planned with the whole family that evening. And he had been waiting a really long time for the ring to arrive so he just couldn’t/didn’t want to wait any longer. She was really tired and out of it since it was so early in the morning, but she was thinking, “Okay, this is sweet. . . even though I’m tired.”  To her astonishment and (honestly) confusion at first (hey, she was tired) she saw the ring box inside of the absurdly huge Panera box and then put everything together in a surprising and exciting second. He asked her to marry him and she enthusiastically said yes. They enjoyed a fabulous celebratory dinner with the family that evening. And here we are!
