• Daydreaming ✨ "The sand danced under and around my toes, a sweet massage for my tired feet. The water, warm and fresh at the same time, came and went on a rhythm of its own. What is the ocean trying to tell me? I wondered, closing my eyes to savor the soft breeze that came with every wave, brushing against my skin, blowing my hair in all directions. Then I opened my eyes. I was not by the water and there was no breeze, yet the ocean was talking to me." ~ . . . #levanamelamed #Pittsburgh #community #daydream #dreamscometrue #sueños #keepdreaming #avidwriter #freewriting #inthistogether #Pittsburghcommunity #globalcommunity #oceanbreath #positivemind #stayinspired #thistooshallpass #tbt #panama #santacatalinapanama #santacatalina #filmphotos #filmlove #filmphotography #takemeback #throwbackthursday #makewaves #paradise #panamaniansaroundtheworld #tropicalparadise

  • "You're always so calm" I hear this regularly, on easy going days and on high activity days like wedding days. I love being able to help my clients (yoga students, couples, families, etc.) feel grounded and at ease ✨ Years ago I discovered yoga and it was a life changing experience for me. While I started liking it because of the physical practice, what really changed me was it's philosophy, it gave me a new perspective, a new way to see, and live, this journey of life! The way I see it, thanks to yoga I'm a better person, and better teacher and photographer. I've learned to stop and recharge when needed so then, I can continue on giving to others 💛 I love doing these things I call my "jobs" and how they are the perfect complement to one another. I'm honored to share such special connections with those who step in front of my camera as well as with those who let me guide them through a yoga practice 🙏🏻 If you're wondering. No, I'm not always calm 🙃 ~ . . . #levanamelamed #joblove #fridayintro #Pittsburgh #Pittsburghcommunity #community #friyay #positivemind #yogi #photographer #weddingphotographers #inspiration #stayinspired #Pittsburghyoga #mindfulness #selfcare #selflove #gratitude #selfportrait #fujixt2 #fujifilm_xseries #Fridayintroductions #fridayinspiration

  • This day, three years ago, will always bring joy to my heart ❤ I remember waking up extra early as the the first wedding of season excitement didn't let me sleep any longer 🙊 Had my classic wedding day breakfast, eggs and avocado toast, and got ready for the day ahead! Courtney and Rob chose to have a day ceremony @heinzchapel followed by lunch at Nine On Nine with all their favorite people. It was beautiful, intimate and special, and I loved seeing them smile from ear to ear the whole time 🙌🏼 ~ Flowers @karriehlistadesigns Dress @tara_keely ~ . . . #levanamelamed #Pittsburgh #Pittsburghweddings #heinzchapel #heinzchapelwedding #Pittsburghweddingday #springwedding #weddingmemories #intimatewedding #Pittsburghelopement #Pittsburghphotographers #burghbrides #authenticlove #weddingday #weddingflowers #bridesmaids #weddinginspo #tarakeelydress #weddingbouquets #fineartwedding #storytelling #Pittsburghbride #Pittsburghridesmaids

  • "What doesn't go as planned may make a great story later" Two days before our wedding Chris & Co were stuck in D.C.as the connection flight to Panamá had been cancelled 😳 "Don't freak out" my sister told me as she was talking to Chris on the phone while I drove from our hometown to Panamá city. Luckily, one of his friends (the one you'd least expect it 🤣) had the wedding invite with him, which helped confirm the story that he HAD to get to Panama asap!! Yes, they did make it on time 😉 But then, on our wedding day, around 6 pm (two hours before the ceremony), we found out that Chris left his wedding shoes in Pittsburgh 😳 Stores were already closed and there weren't really many options 🤷🏻 "Wear whatever you want" I told him, already dolled up and waiting to put on my gown. He wore Chucks 😄 ~ . . . #levanamelamed #Pittsburgh #Pittsburghweddingphotography #cathedraloflearning #engagementaession #esession #shesaidyes #pitt #engagementphotos #Pittsburghengagement #burghbrides #memories #weddingstories #futuremrandmrs #weddingday #engaged #weddingplanning #fineartphoto #cathedraloflearningpittsburgh #engagementphotosinspiration #engagementportraits
