Portraits by Sean

IGHLY recommend Sean and his team. + I don't feel comfortable with posting the pics here with our faces. But you can check their work and samples on their website :)

the big day, Matt was our photographer through an Associate's Package - he was friendly, communicative and put us at ease. Choosing your photographer is so important because you spend an entire, normally stressful, day with them and Matt was a wonderful, helpful presence the entire time. The quality of their work was exceptional, with beautiful, high-quality images that captured all the special moments of our celebration. Sean went the extra mile by editing some minor details to make sure everybody looked their best in the important family shots. The reasonable cost for their services made them an excellent value. We are thrilled with the memories they helped us preserve from our wedding day!

He sent the contracts on time, answered any questions we had, and was all around very organized. On the other hand, he was never overwhelming and had an easygoing attitude that put all of us at ease. If you’ve ever planned a wedding, you know that’s priceless!  On the day of the event, he was flexible but effective. He worked in tough conditions with really bright natural light and a small space. He stayed busy the entire time but never felt in the way. He and his team are absolutely seamless.  Lastly, the photos are gorgeous. You would never know the challenges he had by looking at the final pictures. They are bright, warm, natural, flattering, and beautiful!!!  We are so grateful for Sean and his team. They were a pleasure to work with and we will treasure their work forever! 

always professional, but also warm and friendly. - Sean goes above and beyond. He managed delicate family dynamics with grace, made people feel at-ease, and was a relaxing presence on a stressful day.. When plans changed at the last minute, he adapted seamlessly. - Sean’s pictures are incredible. They dont just document the event, they bring memories to life. It is SO special to have so many moments immortalized in pictures. His eye for detail is amazing and he thinks like an artist. We can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Sean and his team. He’ll be our family photographer for life. We look forward to sharing many special moments with him in the future and remembering special days through his work.

as an INCREDIBLE eye. He notices special details and touches that seem small in the moment but actually make a huge difference in how photos turn out. He’s efficient and doesn’t ever get in the way of the event or the flow of the day, but at the same time it seems like he captures everything everywhere. I don’t know how he does it.  He also knows how to take control when he needs to. We had family who constantly got in his way when he was taking family photos (lol-SORRY, Sean!) and he managed it so gracefully. He was able to kindly let them have a moment, but then stepped in and re-routed to the official photo shoot. We had a million photographs with a complicated family, but he and his team were so efficient that our group photos went by in a flash.  Sean was also great to work with before the wedding. I told my husband it was the only part of the wedding that never felt stressful or demanding. As any bride knows, that is a GODSEND. Thanks SO much, Sean!!!

attention to every detail, which he writes into a narrative. We felt the whole day was perfectly documented thanks to Sean and his team.

t WAY more than we expected from our wedding photography Brandon created a beautiful wedding video for us and my husband and I were smiling from ear to ear the whole time we watched. I didn’t even see Brandon or Sean for most of the wedding, but they caught all of the special moments. Both are them are creative, professional and a pleasure to work with.

ng photos and on the actual day. The photos he took were terrific and really captured a lot of the emotion and fun of the event. I highly recommend Sean and could not have asked for anything more from him!

up went straight to work. He was so kind and easy to work with. Only 2 weeks later and we have all of our photos back and could not be more happy with how they turned out. I would highly recommend him to anyone. We are very thankful for everything he did for us.

the photos. Sean has an incredible ability to capture significant and candid moments with authenticity. Since my wedding, I have referred him to many of my clients, and they have all been thrilled with his work. If you want a photographer who makes you feel comfortable and delivers stunning photos, Sean is the one to trust!

tos top notch, but he takes the time to get to know the couple he's working with, is kind and friendly, and moves like a ninja with his camera - we were so surprised to see all the gorgeous candid moments he caught because we hardly noticed him moving around throughout the day😅. Over 200 5-star Google reviews speak volumes about his work, so if you want a photographer that is invested in your story and day, Sean is the man for the job

is skills. He was also a delight to share our wedding day with, capturing all of the important moments without being intrusive. Our families and wedding party said Sean was wonderful, and he had just the right touch to put an autistic family member at ease for portraits.

my specific visions, but was also highly skilled at capturing all the best candid moments throughout the whole day, both big and small. Looking at his work teleports me back to the day all over again and I could not be more satisfied. Thank you so much Sean!

, my fiance, and our vision for the wedding before we even signed a contract. It's clear he's passionate about capturing the memories beyond simply nice photos. We had a unique wedding weekend and Sean worked with us to create a package that made sense for us. Once the weekend came, every single one of our guests told us how great our photographer was! The bridal party loved working with him as much as we did. He was a delight to work with and willing to go with the flow the entire time. I would hire him again without question. We received our photos so promptly after the wedding too and every single one was perfection! He captured our day, the feelings, the people, all beautifully. If you want a stress free photographer experience, with photos that will blow your mind, you must work with Sean!

otography needs! Such an amazing person!

ng a pet and child inclusive wedding and not timing things super well, he directed everything so well and got the best photos. He was truly amazing with the kids, he had unmatched patience and the best energy. He found the best lighting and positions for every picture and made sure to work with every vision I had. Sean truly went above and beyond and I could not imagine having had anyone else to capture our special day. He was the best photographer I could’ve imagined. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a photographer who not only takes amazing photos but really adds special magic and joy to your big day with his personality and ability to make everyone feel beautiful.

im for any wedding! What makes him great, is his ability to be a chameleon as well as his charisma. Aside from his great personality and knowledge, his work is equally spectacular. The pictures he took were absolutely incredible. He has a true knack for photography. If someone ask me for a recommendation, I will always recommend Sean. I will leave with this… he has the most kind eyes and makes you feel comfortable the entire time he is at work for you.

y talented behind the camera, but he had a special knack for making us feel at ease, resulting in natural and stunning photos that our entire family will cherish for years to come. We were married on February 24, 2024, and exactly 8 days later Sean sent us hundreds of beautifully polished photos. Thank you for your incredible attention to detail, professionalism, and gentle demeanor that resulted in such a memorable experience for all of us!

ade me feel so comfortable and it really showed through in the photos. Nothing was overly posed, which I loved. He perfectly captured our personalities and our love for each other. We have received countless compliments on the photos. He is going to be the photographer at our wedding - I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing it. I cannot recommend Sean highly enough.

ing over the details of the surprise helped me fine tune the location and setting so he could capture some perfect moments. Sean made sure he was around throughout the night; before the surprise and afterwards for the party to capture the entire night. That way we got a great sense of the entire time for our everlasting memories. The pictures have come out great and everyone has loved them!

our agreement and captured some great moments at the end of reception that would have been missed if he didn't stay, so was very happy he took it upon himself to stick around. 100% would recommend to anyone!

. I am normally very camera shy, but Sean was so easy to work with that he put me at ease immediately. And as a cherry on top, he sent our photos back within the week! When we were choosing wedding photographers, we wanted someone whose work would transport us back to our wedding day. His photos captured the small, intimate moments that we will treasure most about the happiest day of our lives- the laughs as the wedding party prepared together, the moment my father saw me in my dress for the first time, the roller coaster of emotions as we read our vows to each other, the rowdy dancing at the end of the night. I can look at a picture and remember exactly how I felt at that moment. To Sean, the photographer who captures joy- from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Know that you have created something special that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. It is clear that you take great pride in your work and it was truly wonderful to work with you.

nd an all around good person. His eye for catching candid photos is excellent which he does in a non intrusive manner. He has a way of taking many photos without being disruptive to the flow of the event. The portrait photos were very well composed, clear and artistic with a special touch of a few black and white photographs. At the end of several hours, Sean had taken over 300 photos, all of which are so good that it would be difficult to choose between them . Within several days, the photos were available to us on line and ready to distribute to our guests. Sean is prompt with communication, very professional and personable.His presence is an asset to the event.

or our wedding. He stayed in contact with us in the months leading up to the wedding as well. We was super nice when we met him and attentive to us. He was very organized. He also was very reasonably priced in comparison to other Pittsburgh photographers we looked into. The photos turned out more gorgeous than we could have imagined. He really utilized the space around The Aviary. He is highly recommended by us for sure!!!

t to help us look our best. He even was able to get a few great shots of our German Shepherd! Leading up to our wedding, Sean was helpful with planning our picture locations and identifying rain plans. We love the real-to-life color of Sean's pictures that are not overedited. He did a great job of capturing us and our friends. We would definitely recommend Sean for photography!

t photographer, I really liked his work, and I appreciated his professionalism and quick response times. I'm confident that he would be a great photographer to work with!

f our moments and delivered beautiful photos. We were tremendously grateful for his creativity, flexibility, and experience and would recommend his services to anyone seeking a photographer.

d so this was just a party). Sean went above and beyond by offering to come to our house before the party to take some pictures with our dogs. He was there for all the moments but he was subtle and sort of blended in the background without drawing attention to himself. Sean was my first choice so I was not able to compare prices, but it seemed fair.

al ability to make us all feel like we were all old friends. Thanks for the amazing photos Sean!

him to anyone looking for a photographer.
