I've sung the praises of our wonderful photographers, Limelight-Images, so loudly that your ears are probably bleeding, so I'll try my hardest to refrain from doing so in this post. . .it's just so hard, when they're so awesome.
I mentioned before: I'm huge on pictures. I've already started a list of 'Must Haves' for our wedding day, including the 'jump shot' and the 'carry shot'.

As far as a list of 'Must-Haves', they focused on the city. Pittsburgh is so picture-esque, I wanted to make sure we caught the bridges, the stadiums, the river, the skyline. For the two of us, it was actually more of a list of 'Capture These Feelings With These Awesome Things In The Background'. I'm not saying I want this to be a Pittsburgh photo session with us as the props; more that I want both the city and us to be captured brilliantly, because we're both such a big part of each other. . .you know, Pittsburgh wouldn't survive without us, obviously. ;)
Since pictures speak a thousand words (oh yeah, I went there), I'll let my inspiration/must-have shots do most of the talking:

| I'm sure this was intentional, because our photographers are ballers, but I love the heart shape they make. |

| Although there will be no ties and this is a bit 'artsy fartsy' for me, I love the looks on both of their faces. |
 |
| One of the many stunning bridges. This is definitely a Yes, Please! |

| Again, we're borderline artsy fartsy, but this is just too freaking cool. |
 |
| Steelers! I don't like that you can't see his face, but I like the overall idea/frame. |
 |
| This is more like it. Jon's black-and-gold veined family will just die. |

| One of my favorite pictures, ever. Although I don't understand the logistics (HOW ARE YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY STREET IN A CHAIR?!), I love how much this picture screams fun and love. Stunning. |
Do you have any advice for engagement sessions? Anyone have a 'No Way In Hell Will We Take These Pictures' list?
A chair in the middle of the street?!?!
