Leah and Glenn are getting married this weekend and it’s time to look back and celebrate their engagement one last time before they tie the knot! One of their favorite activities is going for a run together or taking a long walk with their dog, Kaia. Last summer they were living in Pittsburgh and Schenley Park was one of their frequent evening hang outs. We met up and walked the trail near Panther Hollow at sunset and caught the last vibrant colors of the evening on top of the overlook. They even used the first photo below as their save the date they sent out to their wedding guests!
Kaia frequently stole the show till their friends came by to pick her up so they could continue with photos dog-free. Kaia happily trotted off to their car leaving us to feel like the parents whose kindergartner runs off with a smile and zero separation anxiety.
That moment when you’re trying to smile and look casual and take some photos and your dog suddenly starts digging a giant hole to China in the middle of a public park! I love outtakes!
This might be my favorite photo of the three of them as a family. No faces, but a great moment celebrating how they love to spend their time together.
The best view of the city from Schenley Park is on the hill dubbed the overlook. We made it there just as the last rays of sunlight were fading and the sunset colors lit up the clouds. The city skyline in the distance begged for a silhouette shot. I love how it turned out and will always be symbolic of the time they spent living together in Pittsburgh. Since last year, Glenn has taken a position at Penn State and the three of them moved across PA and are now exploring trails and park together near State College!
They’ll be back this week though for their wedding ceremony and reception at the Pittsburgh Aviary! I can’t wait to hang out again 🙂
