lOVE STORIES REMEMBERED FROM LANCASTER, pA & bEYOND
Welcome to the blog—a curated collection of some of my all-time favorite love stories, wedding celebrations, and meaningful moments I’ve had the honor of documenting as a Lancaster based Wedding Photographer.
Here, you’ll find highlights from engagement sessions, wedding days, and couples sessions—from my home base in Pennsylvania to wherever your love calls home. Whether you're planning your own celebration or simply drawn to stories full of heart, this space is here to inspire and reflect the beauty of connection.
I approach every session with care, creativity, and an eye for those real, in-between moments that make your story uniquely yours. If you're searching for a PA wedding photographer who values presence over posing and emotion over perfection, you’re in the right place.

Nestled just beyond historic Honesdale, PA sits a new wedding venue that has stolen my heart. Wildflower on Watts takes the best of what barn venues have to offer and creates a timeless setting for your day to naturally unfold. Over the years I have found that many barn venues, beautiful as they may be, aren’t always equipped the right way for a wedding or prove to be much too rustic for an elevated wedding experience.
