For a moment, I could have sworn we were in Paris.

The gardens, the architecture, the fountains, the light — Longwood Gardens has a way of making Pennsylvania feel a little bit European. And with these two wandering through it all, it felt like the perfect setting for a love story. 🤍 Longwood Gardens

Some of my favorite photographs are the ones where you can barely see a face.

Because sometimes, you don’t need to.

Emotion can live in the way a hand reaches for someone. In the way two bodies lean toward each other. In an arm wrapped around a shoulder, fingers resting on a chest, a veil falling between two people. In the way light traces the curve of a shoulder.

There’s something about photographs like these that makes you feel the connection rather than simply see an expression - these images tell a story. 🖤

My safe place, now and forever ✨❤️ •

Losing my grandmother last month made me realize how infrequently I’ve been photographing my own life lately. Despite my love for photography and my passion for capturing moments in life, I often neglect to allow my own moments to be documented. As we were gathering photographs for her services, I was saddened by the fact that I didn’t have as many recent portraits of her as I’d hoped.

We used to take photos so often - I remember my aunts and mom always getting the camera out at family gatherings. It made me want to be much more intentional about that going forward. To contribute more to my families legacy in this way and sometimes that’ll look like stepping in front of the camera myself, exactly as I am, right now.

I’m a little older now, maybe a little softer, maybe a different size - but these season of my life is worth remembering exactly as it is - not for aesthetics or because things are perfect. But because these moments with my husband in the middle of an ordinary, humid summer in Bethlehem, PA, full of sunshine, flowers and chickens, are worth holding onto. One day, I pray my future children might look at these photographs and see the love we’ve built and the life we have shared that ultimately led to them.

Just some things I’ve been thinking about lately.

Thank you for this gift Larissa Weston | PA Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer

Color or black and white? This is a decision I wrestle with in every gallery I deliver.

Color feels alive. It holds the warmth of the light, the richness of the landscape, and the way the moment truly looked. It brings you back to a place.

But black and white has a way of quieting everything else. It strips away distraction until all that’s left is emotion—the glance, the touch, the joy, the stillness. It brings you back to a feeling.

More often than not, I end up delivering both because sometimes the same photograph tells two equally beautiful stories and I never quite have the heart to choose just one.

So tell me—which draws you in more: color or black and white?
