Reminiscing about one of my fave engagement sessions this season, classic New York City enchantment 😍

Hi! If we haven’t met yet, I’m Petra

I’ve been photographing weddings for about 10 years now, and somehow I still get excited when I walk into a wedding and see the flowers, the dress, the pretty old house, and all the people I’m about to spend the day with.

I’m a wedding photographer based in the Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia, New Jersey,
New York, and honestly… wherever a good party and a beautiful wedding take me!

My work is colorful, clean, joyful, and true to life. I love the beautiful portraits, but I’m equally obsessed with the in-between stuff: uncontrolled laughter, happy tears, dance floor chaos, the grandparents watching from the sidelines, and all the little moments you didn’t even realize happened while you were in the moment.

A snapshot:

I’m married and have two kids who keep me humble

I’m a historic-house-and-old-building enthusiast

I love gardening, painting, interiors, and traveling

I’m usually early. Like… very early

I’m calm when things go sideways, which is probably one of the most useful things I bring to a wedding day

I will happily fix your veil, fluff your dress, find your missing family member, pin a boutonnière, I’ve even sewed pants on the fly

I believe your wedding photos should feel like you, not like you spent eight hours being forced into poses

If you’re new around here, welcome! I’m really glad you’re here.

If you’re planning a wedding in Philly, NJ, NYC, the Lehigh Valley, or somewhere farther afield… come say hi. I’m always up for an adventure.

I love photographs that feel like they could only have been made at that very place, in that very moment in time.

The landscape, the light, the architecture, the little details that tell you exactly where you are.

It’s one of the reasons I love traveling for weddings. I get to experience somewhere that might be new, for me, while documenting a day that is entirely yours, for you 💕

And yes, I’d happily go back to Oregon

(Featuring my bridal model Meals By Lena for whom I’ll happily cross the country)

I just had to share this stunning engagement session for W&L, because not only are they so lovely, but I think this is my first official post with film and digital.

One of the reasons I love working in this field is that when you’re a creative, there is no ceiling. There is ALWAYS something you can learn, improve on, or a new direction you can go in. As a proud member of the ADHD community, there are past lives and careers I’ve become sick of or burned out on, but something about this era of my life with the camera keeps me running onwards either enthusiasm, even if I might get winded more than I used to 😅 It’s just so much fun to meet new people, try new things and love the results 💕

Celebrating these two on Saturday and so excited for everything they have in store. Feeling so lucky I get to be the one to capture not only this wedding but all the weddings going on this week, this month, and this season!

Take my breath awayyyyyyy

Can’t wait to return to Folino Estate in a little bit! There’s more magic to be made!

It’s been such an amazing and transformative year. I’m photographing from new heights and angles (buzz buzz is that my drone?) and in new mediums (hooray film!) and my galleries are all the better for it! I’m so excited to be including these fun extras when I’m able to, and really capturing weddings in new and extensive ways, with the same artistic eye that got me here in the first place.
