With a few minutes to go before her intimate courtyard wedding, Kristi sat down and took a few deep breaths. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @alleghenycountyvenues⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #christinamontemurrophotography #burghbrides #burghphotog #pittsburghweddingphotographer #pittsburghwedding #weddinginspo #igwedding #downtownpittsburghwedding #intimatewedding #omniwilliampenn #weddingphotos #justmarried #fridaywedding #smallwedding #tinywedding #thatsdarling #pursuepretty #maywedding #springwedding #courthousewedding #weekdaywedding #alleghenycountycourthouse #pittsburghcourthouse

When the groom is a ballroom dance teacher, and he met the bride when she was his student, and they're doing a choreographed first dance, expectations are high. Even so, @sarahplyler and Kirill crushed it! I love watching the joy and beauty of the dance, but it's also so fun to watch the guests react! Wish I could share the whole thing, but IG has that one minute rule. So if you want to see the whole thing, head over to Facebook. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Loved working with photographer @aaronvargaphoto and @labrabrosmusic band on this wedding! (Special thanks to the band for letting me invade their space during this dance.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Choreography by Anna Trebunakaya and Hayk Balasanyan⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #weddingdance #choreographedfirstdance #epicweddingdance #epicfirstdance #russiandance ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #christinamontemurrophotography #weddingvideo #christinamontemurro #pittsburghweddingvideo #weddingvideography #weddingfilms #pittsburghweddingvideography #weddingvideographers #emotionalweddingvideo #weddingstory #peoplematter #peoplefirst #storymatters #emotionsmatter #burghbrides #pittsburghweddingvendor

I'm one of those people that can't help but ask WHY about just about everything. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about IG. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Social media experts will tell you that if you want your IG posts to reach an audience, you have to regularly post to IG. Like every day. You also need to keep your story up to date, and comment and like other people's posts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I've been thinking about how challenging it is to create meaningful, compelling, interesting content EVERY DAY. How many posts end up just being filler? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How much time is spent engaging on IG not because we want to, but to feed the algorithm? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What other activities are we missing out on while we're devoting all this time to IG? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm absolutely not opposed to scrolling through content of pretty things - beaches, puppies, margaritas! And I'm really thankful to have this platform to share my work. But, I think I'm past the point of feeling like I need to make IG an integral part of my daily existence, because for me, that's soul sucking. I'm going to share on my own terms!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And along those lines, I do absolutely respect that not everyone wants their photos online, anyway. These lovely bouquets by @greensinner belong to a bride who didn't want her face online. And I respect that choice.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you think? What do you love and hate about IG? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #socialmediarant #optoutside #igrant #optoffline

Two weeks ago today! After an intimate courthouse wedding, these two took advantage of the beautiful day for some photos around the city. It was Friday rush hour, and we got so much attention from all the commuters headed home for the weekend! #christinamontemurrophotography #burghbrides #burghphotog #pittsburghweddingphotographer #pittsburghwedding #weddinginspo #igwedding #downtownpittsburghwedding #intimatewedding #omniwilliampenn #weddingphotos #justmarried #fridaywedding #smallwedding #tinywedding #thatsdarling #pursuepretty #maywedding #springwedding
