I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Maya Lovro Photography 

5.0

Pittsburgh, PA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,200

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! You just got engaged! :o I'm a firm believer in weddings being a blast, so I do what I can to make sure that your time spent with me is fun, active, natural, and feels like YOU! I'm also a firm believer in doing my part in making your wedding planning simpler for you, because let's face it wedding planning can be a bit overwhelming especially in the beginning. Also, weddings are stupid expensive and the moment you add the word "wedding" to anything the price jumps like 5x which is NOT COOL, and doesn't set couples up for success. So I try to keep my prices low. If you need help paying let me know!

Nick is our friend and was great to work with! He was very flexible with our appointment date, scoped out our preferred location before the photo shoot for great ideas, and made us feel at ease. One fun moment was when we ran into horse drawn sleighs in our Christmas city, and Nick actually asked the driver if we could just get a few photos on the sleigh (which turned out to be pretty magical). Nick also blew our expectations with both the quality and quantity of photos he edited and sent to us within just a couple weeks during the busy holiday season. Pricing is exceptional, and photos speak for themselves. Would highly recommend :)

I am based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I first started photography in 2015 when I got my first camera in New York City. I started off with doing photos at concerts.

The photographer for film lovers. I'm a film believer that film belongs at weddings: Polaroids, 35mm, 120, Super8... you don't need to worry about the logistics: just enjoy your day + I'll make the magic. I'm Pittsburgh based but most of my work is destination, so weather you're getting married in your parent's backyard or a chateau in France: I'd love to make photos for you that help you savor this day for a lifetime!

Nellie is a professional and friendly photographer and videographer with a true passion for her craft. Her love of film photography shines through in her photos and videos, and we are constantly blown away from both our candid and portrait photos and videos. The planning was seamless and easy, and the wedding day felt fully captured thanks to Nellie and Leah, one of her secondary photographers. I would recommend Nellie to anyone, but especially to those that want to earnestly and sincerely capture the love story that is a wedding.

I’m Andrea, a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer with a passion for capturing organic, heartfelt moments that reflect the true essence of your day. My approach is rooted in storytelling, focusing on the real emotions, quiet in-betweens, and unposed beauty that make your wedding uniquely yours. I believe the best images come from connection, so I take the time to get to know you as a couple—your quirks, your love story, and what matters most to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Andrea was incredible to work with from start to finish. Her photos are absolutely stunning and we have had family and friends rave over our engagement photos for months. She got us a sneak peek of our wedding photos within 12 hours and they are everything we hoped for and more. Beyond the posed photos, she did a beautiful job capturing the little moments in our day, and we will cherish that. Andrea was so kind, helpful, and a calming presence. We immediately felt comfortable with her and she knew exactly what to do to get two camera-shy people posing in ways to create gorgeous memories. Beyond this, because I have never been in a wedding, Andrea was invaluable in advising us on timelines, rain plans, and more. She was easy to work with and responded quickly to any message I sent her. I am simply in awe of how good she was to us and couldn’t recommend her enough.

If you are still unsure about selecting Loyalty Entertainment for your special day- direct your attention to this review!! I met Loyal and Nicole in person pre-COVID and they presented all of their offerings to me and my parents. We knew it was the right decision immediately due to our personalities vibing, their professionalism, and their level of experience. We ended up selecting the Diamond DJ package with DJ Loyal, the Diamond Photography package with Anne (I love her forever), and the Gold Videography package with Craig. I left the meeting knowing that they would help make our wedding perfect. Fast forward to COVID and quarantining, I texted Nicole nervously, almost weekly, during the few months of quarantine. She was EXTREMELY supportive- like family member supportive. We had to downsize and switch venues due to restrictions, but one thing she told me that resonated was “No matter how many people you have at your wedding, Loyal will do his thing and it will be great”. Y’ALL- I didn’t know when Nicole said it would be great that it would literally EXCEED every single one of our expectations! It has been almost 2 weeks since our wedding and our guests are still telling us how incredible our DJ was and that if they ever need a DJ they will hit me up for Loyal’s contact information. The hype is REAL! I wanted a “club vibe” with “clean trap” and it was SOOO FUN. Everyone was on the dance floor for over 3 hours. Loyal read the room incredibly well. He took my song suggestions and amplified the vibe by mixing songs together that made the crowd wild…I mean Mariah Carey into Soulja Boy?! I’m still talking about that incredible transition, and I know my guests are too! The up-lighting in the room with the Diamond DJ package, and the dancing on a cloud first dance were show stoppers. The first dance was such a special moment and I am so thankful that Anne, Ashley, and Craig captured it, so that we can go back and relive it whenever we want! I need to hype up Anne…she was PHENOMENAL! From our engagement shoot, to our wedding day. Anne took the time to get to know us and our families. On wedding day, she was on a first-name basis with all family members- calling out specific names during photo moments to both adhere to our timeline and shot list with ease. She helped inspire a ton of cool photo opportunities- including dip shots that are now printed on canvas around our home. We have received an overwhelming amount of compliments on how beautiful our wedding photos are and we could not be more grateful! Anne and Ashley were a dream team behind the lens. The 7 day turnaround time with the Diamond package really helped me, as a bride, not worry about my phone on wedding day, knowing that all of the photos would be in my inbox just a few days later. I hope that as our family grows, Anne can help us capture more special moments! Anne and Craig (photographer and videographer) worked together flawlessly. They were fabulous partners who quite literally made magic happen. I wish I could do it all over again just to hang out with Loyal and the whole Loyalty crew again!! They are extremely talented people who genuinely care to get to know you and your wants/needs. We are forever grateful for the experience that they delivered. My husband and I had so much fun that we almost forgot about the pandemic. I can’t stop mentioning how impressed I am with each Loyalty professional and this company as a whole. THANK YOU LOYALTY ENTERTAINMENT!

As a wedding photographer, I strive to capture the essence of your love story through a combination of artistic composition, genuine emotion, and impeccable technical execution. I believe in building strong relationships with my couples, getting to know their unique love story and translating it into unforgettable photographs. My goal is to create images that not only document your wedding day but also evoke the emotions and memories that will last a lifetime

Jon Diaz is arguably the greatest wedding photographer in Pittsburgh if not on the entire East Coast. He photographed my wedding and the pictures were stellar. My new wife and I had friends and family on both sides expressed how they thought the photos we received back from John were among the best wedding photos they have ever seen. We were vigorous when choosing a wedding photographer, and I believe that we chose the very best available. I have recommended Jon to friends and family for weddings, engagements, and family photo shoots and they have all thanked me for the recommendation because they were ecstatic with the work Jon did for them as well

My husband and I got married 2/29/20 and Ryan and Kate were absolutely great to work with. I love how they really captured the moments of our wedding day and the pictures couldn't have turned out more perfectly. We did some staged photos such as family, bridal party, etc., but some of the best pictures that came out were the ones that weren't staged and Ryan and Kate caught in the moment. Ryan stayed with the guys before the ceremony and got a lot of great shots of the groomsmen and fathers getting ready. Kate stayed with the ladies and caught a lot of great moments of the bridesmaids and mothers getting ready. I never felt awkward taking any of the photos and you barely even noticed they were there at times! They were with us from getting ready until the end of the reception so they caught the entire day and I couldn't be happier. They really take the time to get great shots and make sure the day is captured in the fullest. Ryan & Kate also used film for some of the photos which I thought was unique and the pictures were really creative and turned out great. They are true professionals and I would highly recommend!

I focus on raw and authentic moments. I’m very intentional about drawing out emotion and creating a story. Your experience with me is important. I want you with stomach muscle pains from laughing so much and overall feeling happy and excited to see the love we captured.

Kati photographed our wedding this past weekend and even though we’ve only seen the sneak peeks, I could not be happier with our photos and with her. She was so calm during our day which was so helpful since weddings are so fast paced & chaotic at times. She made sure to take care of us and get all of the shots that were important to me. We had a long engagement and the first thing I made sure I booked in 2019 was Kati, and I am so glad I did. I highly recommend LondynnKate Photography to all of my friends and I guarantee you will not be disappointed with her work! Kati, thank you so much for our beautiful photos! We cannot wait to see the rest and we can’t wait to have you photograph our future milestones!

We're a pair of super fun wedding photographers, filmmakers + elopement planners (also officiants) and we're already your biggest fan <3 Award winning! Multi published! Featured in magazines! Neurodivergent! LGBTQ+! Artistic! Unique! Vintage videos! One-of-a-kind timelapse films! We love working with film + vintage video cameras, capturing little moments others forget about, and creating portraits that would make David Lynch + Alexander McQueen weep with excitement. Contact us anytime day or night and we'll be super pumped to get to know you and explain more of what makes us so unique.

I cannot recommend Requiem Images enough. I randomly found them on Instagram when I was searching for an elopement photographer. Being a photographer myself, I am extremely particular and was a bit afraid I’d never find someone to live up to my expectations. Not only did kitty meet my expectations, she exceeded them. From start to finish, I was impressed with the professionalism and love that poured out of this amazing human. I am, per my own designation, an incredibly awkward subject. I’m used to hiding behind the camera, but Kitty made me feel so comfortable. I honestly can’t believe the images she was able to capture. Her attention to detail and ability to make people feel at ease are truly a gift. Not only did I use her for our elopement, but I also subsequently hired her for our family pictures, and then my own branding session. She has raw talent and an eye for the extraordinary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Requiem Images to everyone I know (or don’t know!). Book them immediately. You will not regret it!!

So many times when I present a collection of images to a couple they'll find themselves overwhelmed with emotion. I've thought a lot about this and believe it's because so much happens so fast on a wedding day that your mind can only process a certain amount in the moment. When you see those authentic images that tell your story all of the information that your mind stored during your wedding is released. It's amazing how powerful images are. I am grateful to be able to give my couples photos that they'll treasure for life.

My husband and I loved every part of the process of working with Joe Appel! With all the components that go into wedding planning, we definitely appreciated the smooth and stress-free communication with Joe. He honored our wishes for the candid shots we wanted and managed to capture every big and small moment of our wedding without ever choreographing shots. Post-wedding, communication stayed consistent and smooth as he compiled beautiful albums for us. We saw Joe as a friend over a vendor the whole way through. Many thanks -- we're looking forward to another reason to hire him!!

I want to capture your essence. People are often nervous when you begin to photograph them, but I have no expectations for you- aside for you to simply be your authentic self! I want to capture your silly, your tender, your sweet, your love. I’ll guide you and your loved one to interact in natural, timeless ways to create art that will have the honor of living in your home and being a part of your family for generations to come. I don't create for the now- I create for the forever.

We hired Anne has our part of our wedding day vendor dream team, and I am so, so thankful that we did. It was one of the best decisions we made. Anne is an incredible photographer. Her work is dreamy & ethereal, yet perfectly captures the essence of her subjects. Her work is also versatile - her candids and styled shots are both fabulous. Anne worked with us on engagement photos, so we had the chance to get a sense of her style and personality, and it was love at first photo. She is so warm and effervescent that we immediately felt at ease. Both my husband and I aren't super comfortable in front of the camera, but Anne's encouragement made the photoshoot fun. She even brought treats for our pup, which endeared him immediately. The engagement photos were incredibly and perfectly captured our romantic garden party vibe and our connection as a couple. Leading up to our wedding, Anne worked closely with our planner to make sure that our timeline, photo locations, and shot list were in perfect order. She worked tirelessly to create a rain plan that eased my panic when we couldn't take photos inside the hotel. On day of, Anne & her assistant arrived promptly at our bridal suite and quickly got to work doing flat lays, detail shots, etc. before moving seamlessly into first look and group shots. Her sense of humor kept our group laughing and made sure the groom didn't get tired of photos. She even helped carry my shoes and got my husband water when he lost his voice. It was like having a close friend at our wedding to cheer us on. Of course, the photos were incredible! Our preview was full of gems, I can't choose my favorite one. I can't imagine having to pick for the full album! She captured our love for each other and made sure we had a good time the whole day. tl;dr Hire Anne because she is very talented photographer and her team is fabulous, and also hire Anne because she is an amazing person. She will make your wedding day even dreamier.

It's YOUR friggin' wedding and I promise you tons of laughs, creativity, and killer photos. I love working with people and find inspiration in REAL life couples. We have fun, we get silly... hell, we even get a little weird if you're into it (safe word is, "Camera Shy") 😳. At the same time I obsess over crafting exceptional and authentic images. So whether you're some groovy hip kids or a couple of squares, let's go make some art together. I’ll put in the blood, sweat, and tears… you just show up. By the end of your wedding day, we will be best friends. I believe so much in marriage and weddings and truly enjoy being a part of them.

My wife Maria and I had Mike shoot our special day! We just got the pics back and were blown away!!! Great job Mike and thank you for allowing us to relive this day! We will cherish our photos for the rest of our lives! And can’t wait to share them with our friends and family! Thank you again, we greatly appreciate all you did for us!"

Thank you, Mark, for taking the stress out of our big day. You are the absolute best!!

I currently do not pay for a Zola listing, so if you inquire here, I am unable to respond. Please inquire through my website if you legitimately would like to inquire. I’m Dawn, and I photograph your real, blissed-out wedding moments so you can relive them later. With me, there is no separating the now from the nostalgia, because I always deliver both.

Dawn was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, she was open and super helpful - they were always available to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly amazing, jaw-dropping, and perfection. They brought such high energy and an incredible attitude on the day, capturing every special moment with such care and creativity. Our entire family and wedding party LOVED working with her. We were especially touched that they were willing to travel all the way to NYC for our engagement shoot, going above and beyond to ensure we had beautiful photos to remember that milestone as well. We cannot recommend Dawn Derbyshire Photography enough - they played a huge role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Happy Out Photography

Happy Out derives from Irish origin- ‘a feeling or strong emotion that you can’t quite put into words about how you are feeling in that moment…blissful, joyful, or pleased is just not enough to convey to others about the butterflies you have in your stomach and that permanent smile you can’t wipe of your face.’ So why is this important? — This is the feeling you should have throughout the entire wedding photography + videography experience, and more importantly when you look back at your once in a lifetime moments in your portraits and film.

We found Katie and her team on The Knot after searching weeks for a photography/videography team. We talked to many vendors, but none really understood our relationship/vision quite like Katie. On our first conference call, she made us feel so comfortable and ran through every detail with us. We chose her photography and videography package and also added a ceremony and speech taping. We worked with the Owner, Katie, the entire time and did not meet the second photographer or videographer until the morning of the wedding which was fine. Katie filled them in on everything and I felt like everyone was all on the same page. Our engagement session took place in September 2019 in front of the Phipps Conservatory. She let us do 3 outfit changes and even stayed a little longer after the sun went down to capture a quick photo shoot that was an ode to our love of movies. The engagement pictures came back quickly and were wonderful! She walked us through a lot of poses but also let us just do our own thing. My wedding fell into the “Covid-19” category so we had to postpone our June wedding until August. Our wedding day went on without any issues. Katie and her team went to my house first to capture my husband and his groomsmen then they came to our location to capture me and my bridesmaids. Since there were two photographers, I assumed that they were each going to come to each location, but that wasn’t the case. We weren’t rushed for time so it didn’t matter, but I just thought it was strange they stayed together instead of separating to capture more moments. Katie and her team captured the ceremony so well. The pictures were absolutely fabulous and truly captured the moments and the emotions behind them. The video was a standard camera that didn’t move so sometimes it was difficult to see what was happening. I would have liked to see more of the guests reactions. We were told that there would also be drone footage used, but there was no drone used throughout the day. After the ceremony, we stayed on location for bridal party shots and intimate couple shots. Katie walked us through everything and it was done in the hour that we needed it completed by. At the reception, again the events were photographed very well, but once the events stopped and the party began to take place, I’ll be honest I was a little disappointed in what was captured. I had asked Katie to take pictures of every table while we were making our rounds, but neither of the photographers followed us. Then during the reception, I wish that I would have asked Katie to capture more pictures of us with the guests. There were plenty of candid pictures of guests talking in groups, but no posed pictures of guests looking at the camera. I don’t really have any professional photos of me and guests other than my bridal party and family. One of my biggest disappointments after looking through pictures was that there is no picture of me and my mother on my wedding day. I have lots with my dad, but none with just my mom or just my parents. My husband had extra time with the photographers in the morning so he has a lot of family shots, but unfortunately, I don’t. DO NOT GET ME WRONG - my wedding pictures are AMAZING and Katie did a fabulous job. We received numerous compliments on her work. I just feel like if you use her, you need to make an exact list of who and what you want pictures of or it will not be captured. I recommend Katie’s services to any upcoming brides!!!
