I’m Sarah, wedding + elopement photographer documenting true and heartfelt moments wherever your little heart desires. My husband, Ryan is my adventure-loving second photographer and ordained officiant (yep, he’ll marry you!). We are city-dwelling nature lovers who strongly believe in having a good time. We call Pennsylvania home but travel all over to photograph couples in love.

Sarah is so fun to work with, she is quick, offers great direction, and makes sure you get the photos you want AND gets you back to the party. The BIGGEST flex though is the fact that I got married on May 25 and I had sneak preview pictures sent to me by May 28 and the first batch available in an online gallery on June 4! The photos are beautiful, she really captured the drama of our venue and the vibrant colors we chose for flowers and decor!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

Emma was an absolute dream to work with! Quick to respond to messages; very helpful with location scouting and wardrobe choices. She promised to have our gallery edited and delivered within 2 weeks of our shoot date and she did not disappoint! My fiancé and I are absolutely in love with our photos - they're everything we had hoped for, and then some! I sent Emma a plethora of inspo photos on Pinterest and now I feel like I have my very own Pinterest board of photos that are all of me and my fiancé - they are perfection! We hope to work with Emma again in the future - cannot recommend her enough!

Lindsay and Greg have been a pleasure to work with so far! My fiance had them there to photograph our proposal and I liked them so much that we booked them for our engagement and wedding sessions as well. We are both slower to open up type of people and Lindsay and Greg have been really easy to talk to. We didn't feel awkward and were comfortable with them. We have some beautiful photos and everyone has complimented their work. I can be anxious, but Lindsay has been really easy to work with. She has a calm presence and I really like how she's set me at ease! Lindsay and Greg targeted their work to match things that we wanted to incorporate. I shared some Pinterest images with Lindsay and she saved them and actually posed us in them during our session! I offhandedly mentioned one of my favorite shots from our proposal during our engagement shoot and they came up with something so cute to do that matched the vibe of that right then and there! I also was honest with Lindsay about poses I didn't like up front and she made sure to pose me in a way that I felt like allowed me to be more confident and comfortable.

Awarded Best of Zola
I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

Snowdrop Creative Co. was born from a dream. A dream that I could do the things that I LOVE, be present for my children and my partner, and create work that I am proud of. It sounds like what we all wish for, right? Well, it isn't always so simple as "I want this, so I'm doing it." I spent ten years in retail management. I spent long days away from my family, only to get home to them and be too tired to enjoy my time with them. My life was cold and dreary, and I knew something had to change. And so, Snowdrop was born. A place where I can create and love what I do. Capture memories and magic and joy in a single moment.

From the moment we first spoke with Snowdrop Creative Co., we were impressed by their kind, prompt, and super prepared communication style. On our wedding day, Alexandra and Ashley went above and beyond to make sure everything was captured perfectly. They helped me get ready, made sure I had my wine and pain reliever, refreshed my lipstick, and were great company throughout the day. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - they were incredibly creative and didn't miss a single special moment, including capturing our cake cutting for free. We would recommend Snowdrop Creative Co. to any couple looking for 10/10 wedding photography services.

Prior to the wedding, Krista took the time to get to know me and my husband which made taking pictures on the wedding day feel extremely comfortable and natural. On the wedding day, while taking pictures, we stayed on timeline and did not run late. Our wedding party and parents were so impressed with how we kept to our schedule while taking pictures. When we received our wedding photos a few weeks after the wedding, we could not stop looking at them! The lighting was perfect and the poses looked so natural.

Bellocq Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. They were great to chat with throughout the planning process, and their communication style put us at ease. On the day of, they provided excellent direction on how to pose, and the resulting photos are absolutely stunning. They captured all of the most important moments, as well as many extra shots that really tell the story of our special day. The editing is beautiful and we couldn't be happier with the final album.

Hi, I’m Lauren, the owner of Lauren Katherine Creative, and I’m passionate about capturing the magic of weddings. I’ve always been drawn to photography, ever since childhood, when I fell in love with the art of storytelling through images. Now, I get to do what I love most—helping couples turn their vision into lasting memories. My goal is to make everyone feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, so I can capture those authentic, meaningful moments. With a background in film, I bring a creative, cinematic touch to every shot, making sure your wedding photos reflect the beauty and emotion of your special day.

We are so so so happy that we booked Lauren for our wedding day. She and Julianna (second shooter) were so incredible. They made us feel so comfortable and did a great job at keeping everyone on track. We just got our sneak peek back and they are so much better than we even imagined. We couldn’t be happier that we chose Lauren as our photographer.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Xiao as our wedding photographer, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Before the wedding, Xiao took the time to consult with us in detail, discussing everything from the style and color of my dress to the bridesmaids’ outfits. Her exceptional aesthetic sense and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the photos would come together beautifully. On the day of the wedding, Xiao arrived fully prepared with an impressive array of photography equipment. She was patient, encouraging, and meticulous, guiding us through each pose and shot. She also thoughtfully scouted and selected stunning locations, making every photo feel unique and special. The group photos with our bridesmaids and groomsmen were especially fun and creative, with multi-angle shots that captured so much joy and personality.

After the wedding, her professionalism continued—she promptly created a shared folder so we could review and choose our favorite photos together. Her editing work was both fast and flawless, bringing out the best in every shot. Our entire experience with Xiao was exceptional. She is not only a highly skilled photographer but also someone who brings care, creativity, and passion to her work.

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Kelly was our wedding photographer and we couldn’t recommend her enough! She perfectly captured our wedding in her photos, and we really feel like we relive the day every time we look at them. She helped us think through what we wanted our photos to reflect, which made them all the more meaningful to us because they are true to our relationship. Her photography style is timeless, lively, and approachable. Kelly’s kind and down to earth nature really stands out in an otherwise daunting wedding industry.
