When Lena and Dave approached me about their wedding portraits, they had a vision that was anything but traditional. Inspired by the vibrant, everyday life captured in 1980s Hong Kong portraits, they wanted their photos to reflect the charm of ordinary spaces—think gas stations, grocery stores, and street corners—with a touch of their quirky personalities. And let me tell you, these two are absolute naturals at making the mundane look magical. The result? A collection of truly unique Pittsburgh wedding portraits.
We kicked things off at a nearby 7-Eleven, because who doesn’t love a good convenience store cameo? Under the hum of fluorescent lights, Lena and Dave made slushies look romantic and a gas pump feel like a red carpet moment. Their humor and chemistry turned an ordinary parking lot into a photo studio—and the results were as fun and fresh as they are.
Next, we headed to Pittsburgh’s iconic Strip District, where the bustling streets gave us endless opportunities for candid shots. Whether it was posing near market stalls or stealing a kiss under neon signage, Lena and Dave brought their A-game. The Strip’s urban vibe was the perfect counterbalance to the playful charm of 7-Eleven, adding depth and variety to their portraits.
Lena and Dave aren’t just great subjects—they’re genuinely awesome people. Their warmth, humor, and willingness to embrace the unconventional made this session unforgettable. These aren’t your typical wedding photos; they’re a celebration of personality and love, set against backdrops that are as unexpected as they are meaningful.
So, if you’re looking for unique Pittsburgh wedding portraits that break the mold and tell your story your way, let’s make it happen. Because every love story deserves a little adventure—even if it starts with a slushie.
