I want to start by saying Congratulations on finding your one! I’d love to be apart of your special day. A little about me, I started my business back in 2015 as a hobby and just instantly fell in love. Since then, I’ve started doing more weddings, boudoir and newborn sessions along with my typical minis, individual and family sessions. Personally, I have a beautiful baby girl who was born in 2022 and just completely changed our lives; she also very strong willed and gives us a run for our money! You’ll occasionally see her along with me just supervising as I am a stay at home mom when I’m not being a social worker at our local high school

Mara was amazing! She made taking pictures feel so comfortable and easy! I can't wait to get all the pictures back and work with her for future family events!

Based in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia PA, Reflections Media Pennsylvania is a collective of photographers & videographers who capture weddings and events. They love creating images that are trendy while still standing the test of time. For each couple, these professionals aim to provide affordable services, high standards of customer care, and stunning photographs and videos to treasure for a lifetime. Our deposit is 20% down to book and the remaining balance can be broken down into 3-4 increments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Reflections Media Pennsylvania as our wedding photographer and were very happy with their services. They were great at communication - thoroughly documenting details over email and phone calls leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, they jumped right in to capture candid moments as they happened. For example, they photographed all of our guests arriving at the cocktail hour with us. The photos turned out beautifully, really capturing the spirit of our wedding at a fair price. My only minor critique would be that it was hard to pose for some of the more formal shots because the photographer didn't do a countdown before snapping the pic. And unfortunately due to the event timing, we were not able to take as much photos with the family/bridal party as we had wanted in our consultation. I would recommend couples to keep in mind specific shots during the wedding; the wedding day was extremely hectic for us but it would have been nice to have the photographer (us as well) remember our consultation on what shots we were important for us for them to photograph. But overall, I'd recommend Reflections Media to other couples looking to preserve memories of their special day.

My photography style is raw, emotional, timeless, and fun. Whether I’m photographing a tender moment between a couple or the spontaneous laughter during a celebration, I strive to capture the genuine connection and joy shared on your big day. There’s nothing more rewarding for me than freezing those fleeting moments so you can relive them for years to come. If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture your day as it unfolds, I’d love to chat!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Holly was immediately responsive & answered all our questions in detail. She was incredible at our engagement shoot & had even looked up several nearby parks to choose from, & looked at great locations within the 1 we chose to shoot our engagement photos. I was able to change outfits & my fiance/now husband & I felt totally comfortable despite it being our 1st time having professional photography focused on us with her down to earth & direct communication style. Our photos turned out gorgeous & classic. On our wedding day, we had a lot of unexpected things happen like wind & rain at our outdoor ceremony & photography session, but she handled it all with grace & got our photos done beautifully & timely with our wedding party & immediate family as we wanted. We did some outdoor portrait photos & got some adorable ones inside our bridal suite. It was relieving to see her there every step of our 8 hours we hired her for, including our pivotal dances, cake cutting, dancing, etc. She even went above & beyond her job by stepping in several times in several ways when our coordinator was completely forgetful & careless. She communicated with my Mom who was very high strung & quick tempered beautifully. My husband & I literally cannot thank her enough for how beautifully & peacefully she took care of our photos & us on our our wedding. Would recommend her 10x over.

Her team was incredibly flexible, and we had an absolute blast working with them.

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there!

I am a luxury destination photographer based in MICHIGAN, COLORADO & FLORIDA! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing, Holland & Traverse City. I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

We hired Elle & Co for our engagement photos and left our session feeling like we were in the hands of pros which helped us feel confident going into our wedding day. Dani and Jed are very professional but are also laid back and fun to be around. They not only went above and beyond on our wedding on our wedding day by running around everywhere and grabbing things for us and setting up photo ops and being ready at every turn but the photos are beyond what we wanted. 100/10 recommend!

We are boutique photographers that are for the clients and couples that value photography but also value being present in their day. Your wedding is not a day of photos, we come to take photos of your day. Every package is custom to each client as your experience with us is exclusive to you.

Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.

Julia is truly the BEST photographer out there and she makes everyone look SO GOOD!! We booked her for both our engagement session and our wedding because we loved her so much! She is so skillful at finding beautiful angles and working with natural lighting, and she was great at directing us with suggested poses that didn’t look forced or unnatural. She was also really easy to work with: we met up beforehand to communicate our vision and discuss the kinds of photographs that we wanted for the engagement session and we did that again for our wedding. On our wedding day Julia brought her husband Leo who is also a photographer to assist her and they came early in the morning to begin taking scenery photos, details, and other things while the rest of us got ready. She was there with us throughout the entire day all the way til the end of the evening and she went out with us to take some sunset photos in the middle of the reception, which turned out so beautifully! Finally, Julia was super prompt at sending us the final photographs, which I know she worked hard on because there were A LOT! We can tell that Julia truly enjoys what she does and really wants to get the best photos possible so she always goes above and beyond. I think the phenomenal photos that we’re sharing here can speak for themselves. She was such a joy to work with and we can’t wait to find some other excuse to hire her again!!

Ashley is an intensely driven, detail-oriented fan of excellent food and exhilarating romance & happens to be a passionate editorial wedding photographer. Her approach is simple–take the time to get to know each & every couple to create breathtaking, personal images. She brings together a diverse background in both the visual & performing arts to craft your wedding story through fine art imagery that you will pass on for generations to come. In her free time, she is probably snuggling with her two amazing dogs, commuting back & forth between her home in Maryland and our Malvern studio, or whipping up something extravagant in the kitchen.

I truly had the dream team with Ashley, Michelle, and Ashley on my wedding day. Communication is a huge thing for me when it came to planning the wedding and they always responded in a timely manner and worked with my husbands crazy schedule. On our wedding day Ashley was with the ladies and I during getting ready, while Michelle had to handle the guys, I say handle because they’re a handful especially once my dad is thrown into the mix. (You know the sos button on your phone… yeah my dad bumped that and the state cops showed up…. Oops.) but Michelle did amazing with them. We had a first look and then did our family photos and they did a wonderful job getting the kids attention (3 kids under 2). During our ceremony I had no idea they were even there, they really do just blend in to the scene. During cocktail hour Ashley took some precious photos of us with our son that I know I’ll cherish forever. They even took us out for some nighttime portraits before the left for the night. I highly recommend working with Ashley and her team !

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Working with Rich as the videographer for our small intimate wedding was an absolute dream. He was transparent with pricing and services offered. Response time was extremely quick and his availability to talk when I had questions was very flexible. On the day of Rich put everyone at ease. We had an intimate 25 person wedding and I was worried a professional videographer would overpower the atmosphere but he was able to blend into the background while also being right there to capture everything. He was also super helpful the whole day and I really appreciated the extra above and beyond effort he put in to help things run smoothly. The videos and stills we received back left me speechless they were so beautiful and he was able to translate the inspiration I sent in his own way and perfectly capture the day.

My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal. She was great at posing and framing to get the best shots and made sure that everything got pictured and captured from our special day. Would recommend 100%

Ally here! I believe you shouldn't invest in something unless you feel it's right for you! That being said, the biggest choice in life you can ever make is the choice to invest in your memories. That's what I am here for! To capture all the milestones, and life changing moments that you will forever cherish. (Bonus points being that you get to make a forever friend who you know and trust to be able to capture and pass down your family's legacy in photo form for as long as I live!).

We loved working with Aleniah! We have nothing but great things to say about her, she really cares about her clients and her work, always has a positive attitude, and very personable.

Elaine Gates Photography has been serving the Central Pennsylvania area and beyond for over 15 years. My goal is to always capture your most authentic selves and moments that you'll never want to forget. I am dedicated to my couples and spend their entire wedding process making sure they are stress-free, happier than ever, and living in the moment.

We found Elaine’s name through her recognition as a “Simply the Best” photographer and we were not disappointed! She was responsive, easy to work with, and always stayed in communication with us. She listened to our preferences where it mattered but also made recommendations when appropriate. For example, based upon our venue setup and schedule for the day she recommended an assistant photographer and it was perfect! We were able to capture so many more memories thanks to her smart suggestion. She also kept the perfect balance of being in the right places while still somehow blending in. She’s also super friendly and is great with families, including little ones. You won’t find any better!

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

5 STAR REVIEW! We had such an amazing experience with Prest1ge Photography! It was a toasty, sunny, fast-paced wedding day, and Caleb remembered to do all the shots we had asked for, and many more at a comfortable pace. Time flew and we went longer than expected, but he was gracious, easy to work with, and didn't allow anything to stress him out. Choosing Prest1ge was the best decision we could have made!

Finding the right wedding photographer is very important! Each of my clients (turn friends) are extremely special to me. We will find a time to grab a coffee and discuss what you envision for your wedding day, talk details, timeline, colors, and so much more! Together we will create photographic memories that will never be forgotten.

We used Rachel for our engagement photos and wedding, and she was a total pro! Not only are her photos absolutely stunning, but she is excellent at what she does. She helped keep the timeline of the day going and helped us with the finer details. She is very efficient while not sacrificing quality. She also helps you feel at ease with everything, which is super important on such a crazy day! We would definitely recommend her to anyone and you will be happy with your photos from her for years to come!

We hired Dawcin to photograph our wedding. Because of the package we chose, we got a complimentary engagement session. Dawcin was excellent through the whole process. She gave us a guide that explained what to wear, how to do makeup correctly for pictures and that explained some other great tips for having professional photos as well as for our wedding. While doing pictures, Dawcin was transparent and fun every step of the way. She is always up for adventure which makes the experience even better! We are so happy to have Dawcin for our wedding and look forward to having her do other future photo shoots for our family as well. I would recommend her to anyone :)

I truly believe that the little things matter the most. Silly moments, stolen glances, lingering hugs, happy tears, smiles from ear to ear and roaring laughter. These seemingly small notes are some of the most significant expressions that I aim to capture on wedding days. By searching for connection and photographing moments both intuitively and intentionally, I provide my couples with images that freeze time on their one magical, emotional, wild and exciting blur of a wedding day. If you too believe in cherishing the small moments, you're in the right place! Inquire today and let's chat about how to capture your day authentically.

My husband and I can’t say enough about this wonderful and talented human! Emily is one of the sweetest people we’ve ever worked with, which not only comes to light through her pictures but through the connections she makes with her clients. We knew we wanted to work with Emily based on her past work alone - her pictures capture such a pure lightness in a couple in both candid and posed romantic moments. Which came through so strongly during our engagement session, as well as on our big day! Emily was more than generous with her time during both events - recommending the most beautiful backdrops near her hometown in Scranton for our engagement session and discovering unique and quaint spots around our wedding venue that we had not even thought of. She was extremely clear in her expectations of what she needed for both days to go smoothly, asking for specific details from us on how we envisioned the day, and made such a caring effort to get to know us along the way. We especially appreciated the very organized forms that we filled out to let her know details for specific moments - like our family photos. She even worked with our day of coordinator to find a moment after dinner to take a few large extended family photos. We were so impressed by how she was able to wrangle 30 people into just one of those photos and for it to come out wonderfully! Lastly, Emily already had preview pictures of our special day the day after our wedding, which was such a nice touch, especially when my husband and I went back home after the weekend to a very quiet house and were able to look at those and take a moment to reflect. Thank you so much, Emily, for capturing everything that makes our relationship special!
