I'm Colin! Welcome to Moon Honey, my Philly-born, Lehigh Valley-based wedding studio. We’re all about capturing that behind-closed-doors weird. You know, the stuff that makes you.. you! We offer Photography, Photobooth & Content Creation. You'll also have access to the best Design Team to ensure you never lift a finger. ❤️

Awarded Best of Zola
Those are the first words that come to mind when describing Colin and his work! Colin was incredibly easy to work with. From the moment we got in contact to the final photo taken. It was a breeze, and it felt so great to know we were in such good hands. My husband is not an outgoing or super social person, but Colin captured his likeness in a way I can’t even truly describe. He opened up and we all laughed, and played and talked and laughed! Colin helped him feel comfortable enough to be his silly self, out in public with all the eyes on him while we walked around eloping! We had been planning a New Year’s Eve (Dec 2023) elopement since July 2023 and Colin was on board the minute I sent that email. The discovery call was great. I felt comfortable speaking to him about my needs right away, and the way he described his own elopement, was exactly the vibe I was going for! The plan changed a few times throughout the months. Going from just the three of us, to adding my best friend and her partner, and Colin was so flexible! His professionalism is top tier! His communication is on point! Any time I reached out to him, he would respond and put my mind at ease about whatever I was freaking out about now. He checked in with me often about how we were feeling, how things were, etc. I was never worried about anything (photography related!). I just knew he had it handled. Colin sent us previews the same night (which I thought was amazing timing!) and we were just mind blown. I’ve never looked or felt prettier or happier in a photo before. The day was captured beautifully. It was the most beautiful and fun day of my life, and I’m so grateful Colin was there to capture it for us, because our story really is told through the photos. Our love is captured in such a beautiful way, it is making me cry again thinking about it. Thank you Colin! I look forward to many more years of working together on other projects!

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

I am lucky; I get to do what I love for a living, have a ton of fun doing it, and meet a lot of great people along the way. It's a bonus that I get to also travel a lot for it as well. I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

Cody was brilliant! I could not recommend him enough. I’m usually very camera anxious and hate my picture being taken so having a photographer follow me around for an entire day would typically be my nightmare. However, Cody made me so comfortable and was such a calming energy. I LOVE how our photos turned out and my husband and I look so natural and fantastic in every picture! My only complaint it how I’m going to be able to decide which ones to frame for my walls…I may need more walls!

As your wedding photographer, I take on more of a documentary approach and prefer to shoot with little interruption throughout your big day. Sure there will be times where posing is necessary, but for the most part, I know just how much planning and work and detail has gone into this celebration of the start of your marriage. I will be there for you to document the connection with you and your person with your genuine, honest emotions as the focus.

Sara was so amazing and exactly what we were looking for for our wedding! I would recommend her to anyone- she came to a new venue but worked it with ease and the pictures came out incredible. She gave the perfect amount of direction, and I love her style when it came to edits. I will be keeping her number for future photography sessions for sure!!

I’ve always loved photography. Yet, it wasn’t until 2008 when I began to travel internationally for work that decided to bring my Nikon D750. I was amazed when I returned home with the images to experience the magic I captured through my lens. My passion for photography was launched on the streets of Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam and Istanbul. While travel photography captivated me for several years, wedding and family photography snuck in and stole my heart. Swimming deeply in God’s grace, I believe my purpose with my talent is simple. Share love, one image at a time.

So many times when I present a collection of images to a couple they'll find themselves overwhelmed with emotion. I've thought a lot about this and believe it's because so much happens so fast on a wedding day that your mind can only process a certain amount in the moment. When you see those authentic images that tell your story all of the information that your mind stored during your wedding is released. It's amazing how powerful images are. I am grateful to be able to give my couples photos that they'll treasure for life.

Joe photographed our wedding in 2017. He captured every special moment exactly how I remember them. His style is artful storytelling from beginning to end. When I look at our photos, they take me back to the day and bring on the same strong emotions. Joe also photographed our newborn at 2 weeks. He continued to amaze us with another set of beautiful memories. I highly recommend Joe on not only the exceptional work he does, but also the ease and happiness he brings along.

Dear Lizzie, We can’t thank you enough for the amazing work you did at our wedding. Each photograph is like a piece of art; you didn’t just capture the moments, but also the emotions and the magic of the day.

We used T Z Wilson Photography for our engagement photos and our full wedding day and he did not disappoint! Ty communicated with us promptly when asking questions or talking about the process of how each day would go. He is very skilled in making a wedding day run smoothly with photos and creating a timeline. He made us feel comfortable and in return created some amazing photos capturing our personalities and relationship perfectly. Unlike some photographers that do the same things over and over or using the same types of scenes he will bring you to new places, beautiful spots and create "poses" that fit you as a couple and the style of your wedding day. If you're the adventurous type he is your guy too! We snuck of to beautiful fields and landscapes near sunset and they are some of my most favorite photos. The results and finished photos were nothing short of a dream and I am so thankful we had him for our wedding day!

Hi! We're Kiersten and Enrique, the faces behind Kanded! Our vibe summed up in three words: Creative, Inclusive, Emotive. Since childhood, we've both had a strong love for art. Enrique's small town upbringing and love for writing infuses our images with warmth and nostalgia. Kiersten's passion for photography started as a young child on her Polaroid where she began her creative visual storytelling. When we're not creating, you'll find us on the hunt for vintage treasures, sinking our toes into the sand (and missing our beloved cats), or enjoying quality time at home with our three adorable fur babies: Ellie, Lola, and Jax.

I recently had an engagement session done with Kanded, and it was everything I could have asked for! I had a very specific vision in mind, and Kiersten and Enrique nailed it. From helping pick a location, doing camera tricks to help achieve the look I wanted (think dreamy vintage fairytale)- they were so helpful and attentive every step of the way! An added bonus is that you’re getting two photographers for the price of one, so you can’t go wrong booking with them :)

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Adam is an absolute delight to work with! We used him for our engagement and wedding photos and not only did he have us laughing the entire time, but all of the photos came out better than I could ever imagine. Adam has the perfect eye for lighting and framing. 100/10 would recommend

We are Caitlin and Dejan (pronounced Dayin), we met each other in high school and we’ve been together ever since (time flies when you’re having fun!). Photography is something that we both have always had a passion for, and it wasn’t until we started to plan our own wedding that we realized we wanted to turn our passion into a career. Aside from photography, we love to spend time with our two dogs, Stella and Blaire. They are Australian Shepherds with HUGE personalities, and they are a big part of our lives. We are excited to start this journey and we can’t wait to become friends with you during it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie and Dejan are incredible - do yourself a favor, and book them ASAP! From our very first phone call, I instantly felt comfortable with both of them, and could tell that working together would be relaxed and fun, which was exactly what we were looking for. I could tell as soon as we met them for our engagement shoot that we made the right choice. My husband and I are both deeply awkward in front of the camera, which usually makes us very unphotogenic. Katie and Dejan helped us feel comfortable, gave us all the cues we needed to get cute poses, and we had such a great session! It was so nice being able to meet them both and work with them prior to wedding day. On the wedding day, Katie and Dejan were INCREDIBLE. They kept us on schedule, and (when we inevitably got behind because the bridal party was running late in hair and makeup), they stayed calm and collected, got us back on schedule, and never once made me feel rushed or stressed. They even got us some absolutely breathtaking preview photos literally the next day! I could not be happier with choosing Caitlin Davis photography - would highly recommend them for your wedding, engagement, or any special event! They are the absolute best!

She caught every special moment and even more that had slipped my mind in the craziness of the day. She seemed to have a million hands to hold everything and a sense of calm. She also did an amazing job at working with our videographer she had never met before that day. They worked together and were so creative in the process.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. It is a pleasure, an honor, and a privilege to be a part of these legacies. The core of my business is serving YOU, my clients, my people, my pals.

Kathleen is AMAZING. She did our engagement photos and I cannot speak highly enough. She was so cool to work with, had a great eye for location, and was so fantastic with coordinating our forever-awkward selves to get some incredible shots. We both get very anxious on camera but she made the whole experience so safe and welcoming that we ended up having a so much fun. Her communication throughout has been absolute top tier - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way - and the end result is beyond our wildest dreams. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

When I went to college I knew I wanted to have a career that allowed me to work with people and so I studied Social Work and Psychology! Photography was a hobby but when my friend found her self with no photographer days before her wedding, she asked if I could shoot her day and from the first wedding I was hooked! 11 years later and I think I have the best job on the planet. I have been married to the love of my life Jordan for 6 years now and she is the extra magic in Swiger Photography. We have a lil rescue pup named Furgie and spend our free time trying new bourbons and exploring Philadelphia!

I have known Amanda both professionally and personally for several years, and when the time came to choose my own wedding photographer, there was no question that she was it. She is incredibly professional, personable, and has a way to bring the light out of every person who stands in front of her camera. She works with such ease and confidence that there was not a single moment that I felt stressed during our day, because I knew our moments were being captured. Leading up to the wedding, Amanda made sure that she really understood our vision for our day, and absolutely delivered! If you are looking for a photographer that can make even the most shy family member absolutely shine, who brings laughter and joy to your wedding, and who will unequivocally give her all to capturing your precious moments, you would be remiss not to hire Swiger Photography!

I spent a lot of time deliberating which photographer to choose. Lizzie Baker’s work really stood out. Her photography is truly a work of art and the passion comes across not only in her pictures but in how she engages with you end to end. Lizzie was one of my favorite vendors to work with and she truly made our wedding day better. We are delighted with how she captured our wedding, the scenery, and all the details and moments that you want to be able to look back on. Lizzie was always one step ahead of the program which was a huge benefit. She had great ideas for shots and her approach and personality kept us at ease during the planning process and throughout wedding day. Lizzie is not just an amazing photographer - she really is your hype woman, wedding day extraordinaire, and someone you will be happy to have at your side. People say you spend a significant amount of time with your photographer which proved to be true! We are so glad it was with Lizzie.

I would highly recommend Lightmaster Studios for any photography needs. Shawn photographed our engagement session as well as our wedding ceremony and reception. He was very personable and made us feel comfortable. He was also very professional and listened to what we wanted in our photos. Scheduling was simple, Carrie was very friendly in her commutations and responded quickly to any questions we had along the way. We love how all our photos and video came out in the end and enjoyed sharing them with family and friends. Overall wonderful experience!

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

I’m a fun-loving, passion-chasing, curly-headed gal looking at life through a viewfinder. My happy place is anywhere outside of my comfort zone, but a nature-filled walk chatting up good company is a close second. If I’m not planning my next trip, or dreaming up something to cook for dinner, I’m outside trying to meet my Fitbit step goal. (10k club, anyone?) My latest leap of faith? A cross-country move to sunny Orange County, California. This isn’t the first time I’ve packed up and jetted away from my home state of Maryland: Germany, Singapore, and South Carolina make the list too.

Hey there! I'm Alyssa - I'd describe myself as an easy-going, down to earth, nature-loving photographer that loves photographing joyful people and their relationships. Landscapes and natural ecosystems was where I started my photography journey, but I've found that what held the most meaning is in photographing the relationships around me. I am detail oriented, an organized planner, and adventure-seeking. When I'm not working on photos or photographing lovebirds, I generally still have my camera in hand but am out on the trail with my husband and two dogs. **Note that I am currently not booking weddings after January 2023.**

Awarded Best of Zola
Alyssa photographed our wedding in Oct 2021 and she was so helpful and professional. When you're planning a wedding every little thing seems stressful and you second guess every choice but I never once felt stressed or regret once we chose Alyssa as our photographer. Her team is professional and responsive and the photos are seriously BEAUTIFUL! She captured such genuine emotion in her photos and we are so grateful that she was available for our wedding. She also helped us put together our wedding timeline which was beyond helpful. Her editing style is so natural and the coloring on the edited photos look exactly like the colors of that day, instead of a heavy filter. It was one of the main reasons why I wanted to book Alyssa and she delivered above and beyond! If Alyssa and her team are available for your wedding BOOK THEM ASAP!

"Silva” LATIN FOR “FOREST” We chose that word because we love the authentic aesthetics and complexities of the forest and we would love to transfer that nature into your lifestyle portraits. This idea paired with our desire to follow an aesthetic consisting of earth tones and vibrant hues are elements that will define Silva Stills in a recognizable way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Silva Stills handled our engagement and wedding pictures, as well as my bridals - I worked very closely with Brooke throughout the entire wedding process and she was a pleasure to work with, very cheerful, professional and patient (especially on the day of the wedding with the BIG bridal/wedding party we had). She drove a long distance for the engagement session, bridal session and wedding day, she took into consideration the inspiration pictures I found and devoted a huge amount of time to me throughout the whole process, was always very quick to respond, and was very generous with her advice surrounding the wedding day, the timeline, (questions about sunsets) and reassuring me we would have enough time for pictures. Brooke with Silva Stills went above and beyond to make sure I had a stress-free wedding day, communicated with me as needed and promptly delivered pictures as they were edited. I had so many pictures I loved that I had 3 albums made up, as well as some canvases printed! What a wonderful value for the service provided and pictures received! And a special shout out because she stood outside with me in August (in Texas) for my bridals and sweated right along with me! ha! Highly recommend!

I love hanging out with my kids, beach combing for really neat shells, cuddling with my dog who just so happens to be named Princess Fiona after the movie Shrek, and being an amazing wife to my husband while bringing joy to peoples lives through professional photography. I am super down to earth, pretty dang fun, and super creative. When I get clients who trust me 120%, their galleries are beyond EPIC. At the end of the day, I'm just a girl who fell in love with photography! I also enjoy museums, and find inspiration in architecture, high end fashion magazines and underground art.

To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured
