Where to begin with Katie and Anthony Milane? Should you click the links to Before the Ceremony, the Ceremony, the Formals or the Reception? My advice: scroll to the middle through the end of the “Formals” gallery. You will witness their unconditional love for one another and more. A huge congrats to Katie and Anthony! You two are Rockstars! Small business Saturday? Cyber Monday? My answer is Yes! to both! I can count my business partners on four fingers! Thank you to my wife, Heather who keeps me sane and my son, Emmett, who wants to be a photographer when he grows up, just like Daddy! In addition, thank you to my business partner, Chris Lane for being there when I need you and your energy & creativity! The fourth partner deserves the biggest hug: my clients and repeat clients!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You & Thank You All! Here’s their link!!! Katie and Anthony 10-1-17 and the venue The Hayloft 

Photo Marketing Tips

Posted on by

“Wowzers!” you say. “I am getting clients from all over the place!” Sure I get some local bookings from recommendations on Facebook, or from word of mouth, but most people find me on Google. Hello!?! How many of you are surprised at a good ol’ Googling? I get contacted from people living in California, Minnesota, NYC & even Europe who need a photographer in the Pittsburgh area. I ask them, “How did you hear about me?” – Are you sitting? Their response, “I searched Google!” At this I click my ruby slippers and say, “There’s no place like homepage!” I applaud Search Engine Optimizations on my webhost, PhotoShelter. I do not advertise on the web nor feel the need to do so. I enjoy the benefits of pleasing clients and having them recommend me to their friends & family. By adhering to this marketing plan, I can keep prices within your budget! Best wishes and congratulations to Caitlin & Matt on their wedding in Pittsburgh, PA. Did I mention that having a blog on WordPress has it’s benefits too! I hope you enjoy these images of this gorgeous couple. amcgregorphotography.com

They were married and had their reception at the Omni William Penn in Pittsburgh, PA. It was delightful to say the least.

Senior Portrait Listening Lessons

Posted on by

I am honored to capture any kind of milestone but capturing a senior portrait ranks among the most memorable. The student is in the midst of being confronted with one of the biggest transitions as an emerging adult. The biggest tip that I can offer any photographer is to get to know the student. Don’t just ask questions while hiding behind your camera but talk to them and more importantly, LISTEN. This is an exciting time for them and they have a ton to say. I embrace these moments before I take the first picture and I am certain they do too! Aaron McGregor Photography
