Daniel + Amanda // Allegheny Observatory in Riverview Park Engagement Photos

MARCH 6, 2020

What Amanda & Daniel had to say after receiving their images:

“THERE TRULY AREN'T WORDS TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE TO RACHEL FOR HER TIME AND TALENT. WE ASKED FOR A MOOD - AND SHE DELIVERED (IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC, NO LESS)! SHE PERFECTLY CAPTURED OUR VISION FOR THESE PHOTOS, I WOULD ARGUE SHE UNDERSTOOD OUR VISION BETTER THAN WE DID. RACHEL PUTS YOU INSTANTLY AT EASE, YOUR SESSION WITH HER WILL TRULY BE A MEMORABLE AND LIGHTHEARTED EXPERIENCE. SHE IS A GIFT, AND HER PHOTOS ARE A GIFT. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL!”

This was my first time ever visiting Allegheny Observatory in Riverview Park—I LOVED IT. As a kid, my Dad used to take me to the observatory over in Deer Lakes. We spent several summer nights laying out under the stars on our deck or trampoline during big meteor shower events, trying to count as many shooting stars as we could. Being able to photograph Amanda and Daniel here was so fun! I loved the opportunity to photograph at a fun, new location…. and would love any chance to go back! :)

These two were such champs during our session—we dealt with a mix of sun, dark clouds, rain, hail, and fierce, chilly wind! They stuck it out and I’m so glad they did because we got some amazing engagement photos! Check them out below. :)

Amanda’s Engagement Ring is from the amazing Skelton Jewelry.
