    Thanks to Portraits By Sean for Stunningly, Dreamy Wedding Photos!

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Portraits by Sean was truly a blessing from the Lord for our wedding. Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a storytelling artist. He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones. His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber. We thank God for him and will cherish these memories forever. Highly, highly recommend!

    Unforgettable thanks to them

    Sean and his associates (we had Joe and Brandon) made our wedding day even better than I thought! He and His team was thoughtful, brought up great ideas even up till the day of and really gave me 1 less worry as a bride. They ran through the snow, dealt with the crazy family, and made it feel like they were part of the wedding not just there. We had compliments all day for how attentive and proffessional they were from distant family to and definitely from immediate. I notice they didnt just take the pictures they made SURE they got a good one before moving the spot. We got them back in record time and it capurtured the day so well I cried relooking. For how quick the day went I am beyond thankful I trusted them to capture these moments forever.

    This Man Has Talent

    Sean gave us an incredible experience with stunning results. He was punctual, professional, and gave very clear instructions for his shoots. He also was very excited to be a part of the process and involved in our special day. When it came time for the ceremony and reception, he was sure to stay out of the spotlight and took incredible pictures without us having to remember that he was there. 10/10 experience and 10/10 quality on the final photo results. We would highly recommend him for any event you may have coming up!

    Best decision!!

    Sean was the first vendor we hired for our wedding and that was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! He is not only a fantastic photographer but also a wonderful person. Sometimes you meet someone doing a job and you can just tell they’re doing what they’re meant to be doing on this earth. Sean just gets it; photography, absolutely, but also the human connection. His ability to connect with people he’s never met and to capture a million little, but important, moments with our family and friends on our wedding day was truly remarkable. The photos show his talent and our joy. They captured not just how our day looked, but how it felt. We will treasure them always, we are beyond grateful, and we would recommend Sean to anyone without hesitation!

    High Quality & Caring

    Working with Sean was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Not only is he incredibly talented behind the camera, but he is also one of the most caring and attentive photographers I’ve ever met. Sean took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and he made sure every detail was perfect.
    Throughout the entire process, he was patient, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making the experience enjoyable and stress-free. His professionalism shines through in the way he guides you comfortably, yet still captures natural, authentic moments.
    The final photos were stunning—beautifully composed, crisp, and full of emotion. Sean clearly has a gift for his craft, and it shows in every shot. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I truly appreciated how supported and understood he made me feel during the session.
    I highly recommend Sean to anyone looking for a photographer who combines exceptional skill with genuine care. He’s outstanding!

    The Best Day Captured Perfectly

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Sean from Portraits by Sean! Our wedding was small, intimate, and romantic, and he captured it beautifully.

He also has an incredible eye for detail and knows exactly how to guide the crowd to get the best shots without ever feeling rushed or posed. Every photo perfectly reflects the emotion and joy of the day. Sean’s professionalism and calm presence made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. We’ll treasure these photos forever!

    AMAZING photographer!!! Can’t recommend enough!

    We hired Portraits by Sean as a photographer for my daughter’s wedding. We loved working with him and were blown away by the results!

    Sean was very communicative and responsive. 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!

    We Found Our Lifelong Photographer!!!!

    We hired Sean for my sister’s wedding. We were FLOORED by his talent, professionalism, and kindness.

    - Sean was easy and pleasant to work with. He is a clear communicator and was 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.

    He'll Never Miss a Moment!

    Sean's talent isn't just in his photography, but how he captures moments. He snaps every small look or big smile, and pays attention to every detail of the day, which he also writes into a lovely narrative. We felt the wedding was perfectly documented thanks to Sean and his team. Massively recommend!

    Sean was excellent to work with. His level of professionalism was unmatched. He was extremely communicative throughout the process and a pleasure to work with in planning our wedding 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!

    Highly recommend portraits by Sean

    From the very beginning Sean was so easy to communicate with and all throughout the whole planning process. He was very helpful with planning when he could be. The day of he showed 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.

    Review from the Pinnixes

    My wife and I are blown away by the photos, you killed it! It’s a 100 out of 100 for us. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. You captured every moment perfectly, and we’re very blessed and grateful.

    Wonderful experience photographer

    We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed.
    One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding.
    We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Portraits by Sean to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture the magic of their day!

    The wedding

    Sean is great. He was so patient in dealing with 2 four year old twins in the wedding party. His pictures are both candid and very professional. Sean was such a blessing to us to do such a wonderful job at my sons wedding. Would hire him again in a minute for any occassion

    Unforgettable Photos and Seamless Experience

    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!

    Great images in less than ideal conditions, flexible, honest

    My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

    Exceptional in every way

    I'd give Sean 10 stars if I could! We had nothing but a positive & truly exceptional experience working with Sean for our wedding photos from start to finish. Not only were our photos 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

    Excellent Photographer

    We are so happy that we hired Sean to photograph our wedding day – his photos are gorgeous! Not only is his style beautiful, but he is truly passionate about his work and honing his 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.

    Capturing our love story

    Sean not only remember everything from
    Our first time talking but also include that in our synopsis before our engagement pictures. When I say, he is talented, there are genuinely no words that I have for the love he captured bw me and my fiancé. My fiancé and I had every moment, every touch and kiss captured and showcase in what I consider one of the most beautiful and iconic ways. Sean made us feel as if, it was just us in a whole museum full of people. Sean is priceless and if one ever has the pleasure to work with him, believe me it’s a once in a lifetime experience. Our engagement pictures will forever be a snapshot of our love in those moments in time

    Great Work!!

    I had the best experience working with Sean. He is super kind, always responsive from booking to getting the photos back, and overall easy to work with. He was receptive to all of 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.

    Incredible Experience; Stunning Photos!

    I can not recommend Sean enough! He was friendly, professional, communicative, and fun from the moment we first connected to discuss our wedding. He took the time to get to know me, 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!

    Not Only Captures, but Creates the Magic!

    Sean was amazing. He was so communicative and supportive through the whole planning process. He was so sweet and everyone at our wedding adored him. Even with all the chaos of having 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.

    Sean was the consummate professional. He arrived prior to the event and stayed until the end. The pictures that he took were exceptional!

    Sean was the consummate professional. He arrived at the scheduled time and he did not leave until the event ended.

I highly recommend Sean for your event I have no doubt that you will be very pleased with your photos.

    Absolutely delightful

    Sean was the absolute best! The best disposition, beyond down to earth, very knowledgeable in his craft, very accretive, kind, patient and the list could go on. I would recommend him 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.

    Portraits By Sean

    We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our special day! Portraits By Sean provided us with associate photographer, Matt, for the entire day. He was not only incredibly 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!

    Incredible photographer

    My fiancé hired Sean to photograph his proposal and the results were absolutely incredible. Sean is so kind and professional. I’m very uncomfortable getting my photo taken but he made 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. He is going to be the photographer at our wedding - I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing it. I cannot recommend Sean highly enough.

    Fantastic photographer

    Sean was extremely professional and I couldn't be happier with him as my wedding photographer. He set up some great unique shots for the party, and stayed over an hour longer than 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!

    Truly exceptional experience

    I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about Sean. From the moment we contacted him, he was professional, warm, and dedicated to creating an amazing experience for his clients. 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.

    Excellent experience - highly recommended!

    My husband and I contracted Sean to photograph our 50th Wedding Anniversary party on July 22, 2023. We could not be more pleased with all that Sean offers as a photographer and 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. He has a potpourri of extensive photographic equipment which combined with his talent and creativity, provides a multitude of beautiful photographs
    We give Sean our highest recommendation !!!

    A Must Have Photographer

    Sean made our special day an absolute dream come true! When we stumbled upon his incredible portfolio online, we were instantly captivated by his immense talent.
    From the very beginning, Sean impressed us with his professionalism and unwavering attention to detail. He responded promptly to our inquiries, taking the time to truly understand our vision and what mattered most to us. It was clear that he was dedicated to making our wedding photography experience extraordinary.
    On the big day itself, Sean was nothing short of exceptional. He arrived early, exuding confidence and blending seamlessly into the energy of the day. His calm and reassuring demeanor instantly put us at ease, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment.
    Throughout the day, Sean was like a silent guardian, capturing the most heartfelt and spontaneous moments that we'll cherish forever. Those stolen glances, the exchange of gifts—each precious instant was beautifully immortalized through his lens. And let me tell you about our first look—it was an emotionally charged moment, and Sean effortlessly captured the raw love and excitement that filled the air.
    What truly set Sean apart was his genuine care and involvement in our wedding day. He was more than a photographer—he was a trusted friend. He checked in with us, offering guidance and ensuring that we felt comfortable and confident in front of the camera. His friendly and easygoing nature made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.
    When we received the final images, we were absolutely blown away. Sean's artistic vision shone through in every frame. His unique perspectives and creative angles added a touch of magic to our photos, making them truly stand out. The quality of the edits was superb, and we were delighted to have our treasured memories delivered promptly.
    We wholeheartedly recommend Sean to any couple searching for a top-tier wedding photographer. His talent, professionalism, and ability to capture the essence of our special day were beyond compare. Sean, thank you for transforming our wedding day into a timeless work of art!

    The Aviary

    Portraits by Sean was our photographer for our November 2022 wedding. He was incredible. He called us prior to booking and just talked about us as a couple and what we envisioned for 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!!!

    Great Experience-Quality Work

    "I would highly recommend Sean Means as a photographer. I hired Sean based on a recommendation of another photographer and could not have been more pleased. Sean was timely, professional and easy to work with for my wedding. With minimal direction, Sean utilized his own creativity to take candid and posed pictures throughout the night. The pictures Sean took truly captured the spirit of the evening, and to me, this is what defines a great photographer. Sean Means is a must at your next Wedding or any function."

    Sean photographed our small elopement ceremony and we couldn't be happier with the results! The experience of working with Sean was simple and painless from start to finish and we're happy to recommend his photography services to anyone looking for a quality wedding photographer. My wife and I were impressed with Sean's knowledge of the best photo locations in Pittsburgh and we appreciated that Sean was willing to meet with us before the big day to ensure we were all on the same page and that we got all the pictures we were hoping for on our wedding day. On the actual event day, Sean was on-time, professional and provided a great mix of candid and expertly staged photographs. Most importantly, the edited pictures we got from the event were amazing...they captured the event and our personalities perfectly. Overall, we are very happy with our choice of Sean Means as our wedding photographer and recommend him to others looking for a top-notch wedding photographer.

    We are so pleased that we chose Sean as our photographer! Even in our first conversation with him, he was really listening to what we wanted for our wedding and how to best convey that in our photographs. For lack of better word, he “got” who we were as a couple and how we wanted to celebrate—and commemorate—our wedding. We loved that he was able to efficiently organize our family pictures (no small feat considering just one side of the family includes close to 30 people, and there are 12 nieces and nephews between us!) and that he disappeared during the reception, somehow capturing all our important moments without feeling like we were being photographed. We also have to give him bonus points for creativity in making our pictures beautiful. We were married in a church that was built for efficiency and not aesthetics, near a parking lot that was torn up from construction, and on a rainy day in June which kept us mostly indoors. He was able to find ways to take all the photos we wanted, and somehow make it look beautiful and personal. We highly recommend Sean—of all the things that were challenging or stressful about planning a wedding, he was NOT one of them!

    We consider ourselves very lucky to have been able to have Sean as our photographer for our special day. He is absolutely amazing at what he does and we couldn't be happier. Looking back at the pictures he took, you can just feel the emotion and excitement of the day. The way he is able to tell a story through pictures is beautiful and helps us to relive the amazing time we had. Not only are his pictures perfect, but Sean is a pleasure to work with. He's polite, professional and all the guests at our wedding just loved him. We would, without a doubt, recommend Sean if you are looking for a photographer for your event.

    Sean is amazing. From the moment we initially spoke I knew that my wedding day would be captured just as we wanted. Sean met us at our venue months before the big day to get the “lay of the land” and to allow us to walk him through various pictures/backdrops that we absolutely had to have. He remained flexible throughout the process, including with pricing and came up with a custom package that worked for us and our budget. During every meeting Sean arrived early, including the big day, which helped to keep me (the bride) calm. Sean captured moments during the wedding ceremony that we would never have been able to see – guests genuine happiness for us during the ceremony, intimate moments between me and my husband (and I had no idea he was there taking the picture). When it was time to take the staged photos, Sean was patient while directing groups of people and was flexible and took a large impromptu group shot with 30 or so family members that we decided we wanted at the last minute. Sean was great throughout the event, he was not intrusive and most of the time I didn’t even notice he was there. During the reception, once again Sean delivered, capturing amazing moments of guests dancing, others hanging out by the bar, others crying during speeches and others enjoying themselves at their tables throughout the night. Because the pictures came out so great and Sean was able to get pictures of all of our guests at various moments throughout the night, we were able to surprise our guests with pictures of themselves during the wedding/reception. We had an amazing venue, Phipps Conservatory, with an evening ceremony and nighttime reception, lit with candlelight…it was beautiful and Sean captured that beauty in his pictures. I am sure it was not easy to have the perfect lighting for pictures in a dark area, but Sean did it and the pictures are gorgeous!

    I have know Sean all my life and he has always had his camera with him. My wife and I decided to use him not only because he is a great friend and a genuine person but he also has amazing talent. He did a such a good job at our wedding and captured moments I will never forget. He shot the rehearsal dinner, events leading up to the wedding, actual wedding and of course the after party. He uses the best equipment and really knows what he is doing. He gives you top quality photography at a great value. You will not regret using Sean for any future event you are planning.

    We hired Sean to take pictures at my retirement dinner after he had done a fabulous job at my daughter’s wedding rehearsal dinner. He blended right in with the guests—he was well dressed, extremely polite and engaging and jumped right into the job by taking pictures of the venue. He captured the guests at their best while they were dancing, offering tributes and socializing. The final pictures were excellent, and the best part of it is that they were edited and back to us within a week. The value for what we got was amazing. I would definitely work with Sean again in the future!

    "I would highly recommend Sean Means as a photographer. I hired Sean based on a recommendation of another photographer and could not have been more pleased. Sean was timely, professional and easy to work with for my wedding. With minimal direction, Sean utilized his own creativity to take candid and posed pictures throughout the night. The pictures Sean took truly captured the spirit of the evening, and to me, this is what defines a great photographer. Sean Means is a must at your next Wedding or any function."

    Sean is the best wedding photographer we hardly saw! :-) When we received our beautiful pictures from him we were so surprised to see so many fantastic shots that we never even recall him taking... even pictures of the two of us together. He was so unobtrusive and hidden but captured the essence of our wedding day, our guests, and our ceremony. It was great meeting with him ahead of time and having him ask us about our life - and not just what we wanted him to do for us on our wedding day. It made us realize that he wanted to know us so he could craft our photos to be exactly the kind of artwork we wanted. We recommended him to other friends of ours who were getting married, and they went on to use him and also loved him and his work. On a day that can be so stressful, Sean was a joy. We highly recommend him! Thanks Sean!!!

    I loved Sean's professionalism, enthusiasm, and preparedness on my wedding day! It felt like having a member of the family on staff.
    He also told me that I would most likely get my all of my edited images within 3 weeks, but I got them in 2: right after we got back from Punta Cana (our honeymoon)!

    Would definitely recommend.
