When Claire and Shane tied the knot at the stunning Museum Lab in Pittsburgh’s North Shore, their wedding was nothing short of an artistic masterpiece.

As a documentary wedding photographer, I strive to capture moments that tell a story—and Claire and Shane’s day was a story brimming with elegance, passion, and undeniable chemistry.

The Museum Lab, with its industrial charm and modern aesthetic, was the perfect backdrop for this sophisticated couple.

It offered the kind of moody, textured environment that turns wedding photography into art.

The Venue: Why the Museum Lab is a Dream for Artistic Weddings

Nestled in Pittsburgh’s vibrant North Shore, the Museum Lab combines historical character with contemporary style.

The exposed brick walls you’ll see, the grand windows, and minimalist details create a stunningly versatile space.

Bridal Photos that are authentically YOU

Most of my clients book me for my art and vision for their wedding. So allocating the right amount of time to get the bridal photos I’m known for is highly important. Without time, we unfortunately can’t do this.

Thankfully, Claire and Shane knew had the best experience during their Engagement Photo Session, which took place in the Strip and North Park and understood how important it was to give plenty of time to this photos in their timeline.

As you can see, for Claire and Shane, the Museum Lab is a wedding venue that complemented their modern yet timeless aesthetic perfectly.

The Ceremony

From the ceremony under the cathedral-like ceilings to the intimate candlelit reception, every moment was an opportunity to capture something editorial and unique.

If you’re drawn to venues that feel like a canvas for creativity, the Museum Lab should top your list.

The Vibe: Elegant, Sexy, and Timeless

Claire and Shane’s vision for their wedding day was centered on sophistication with an edge. Shane’s sharp, tailored tux and Claire’s sleek, modern sexy gown set the tone for a day filled with refined style.

These two didn’t just look incredible—they trusted me with the direction I gave them when we focused on their bridal photos, and you can feel that energy in every photo.

Sexy Elevator Photos

Elevator Photos are one of the most fun ones for me to do. It must be the confined space and how fast we have to be to make these shots, which all adds to a lot of fun, laughter and intensity.

We did them for their engagement photos, so we had to do them again for their wedding.

Aren’t they electrifying!

One of my favorite shots of the day? A quiet moment in the Museum Lab’s dramatic stairwell, where the interplay of shadows and light highlighted the couple’s magnetic connection.

For couples who want their photos to feel like pages out of a fashion magazine, it’s all about balancing artistry with authenticity.

Documentary Wedding Photography

As a Documentary wedding photographer with an Editorial focused, I approach weddings with a storytelling lens, ensuring that every look, touch, and smile is captured in its most genuine and beautiful form.

• Candid Moments: Whether it was Claire laughing with her bridesmaids or Shane’s teary-eyed reaction as Claire walked down the aisle, these moments tell the real story of their day.
• Artistic Compositions: I used the Museum Lab’s dramatic architecture to frame the couple in bold and unexpected ways, creating images that feel timeless and editorial.
• Emotion-Driven Details: From the vows to the first dance, every image is infused with the love and personality of the couple.
