Booking Natalia Baqueiro Photography for your elopement

As a destination wedding photographer, my passion lies in blending art and storytelling.

Using a photojournalistic approach, I aim to capture the authentic, unscripted moments that define your love.

Above all, I don’t overly pose, but build on what is already happening between you to have real moments captured throughout the day.

For Joie and Max, their elopement was a day filled with elegant simplicity, genuine emotion, and the historic charm of Pittsburgh as the perfect backdrop.

Why the Allegheny County Courthouse is Perfect for your Elopement or Micro Wedding

Joie and Max chose the Allegheny County Courthouse for its rich history and architectural beauty.

This Romanesque-style building boasts intricate stonework, dramatic staircases, and arched corridors that exude timeless elegance.

Omni William Penn Hotel Bridal Photos

If you’re getting married at the Allegheny County Courthouse in Downtown Pittsburgh, I suggest you book a hotel room such as the Omni William Penn Hotel.

Another great option is the Kimpton Hotel Monaco, especially if you’re into a more interesting and artistic place.

Either hotel will be an incredible location to get ready. And with either of those hotels, you’re going to be only 6 minute walk from the courthouse.
