Meet Your Photographer

Hi, I'm Lana.

I’m a photographer, professional memory hoarder, and a firm believer that your wedding should feel like a wedding, not an eight hour photoshoot.


When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually chasing after my toddler, studying at Penn State, digging through an antique store, or buying another book that I absolutely do not have room for.

I share my home with my little boy, a whole lot of animals, and more books than shelves. I’m originally from Germany and I will happily talk your ear off about Harry Potter, old houses, oil paintings, and anything that feels a little romantic and haunted.



As your photographer, I’m not interested in turning you into someone you’re not. I want you present. Laughing, crying, kissing, squeezing the people you love, and actually living the day you spent so much time planning.

I’ll step in when you need me, disappear when you don’t, and create photographs that feel honest, romantic, and unmistakably yours.


Basically, I’m here to make sure you remember more than what it all looked like.

I want you to remember how it felt.

One of my dreams is

Going on a huge Europe trip

Bride and groom walk through a sparkler exit tunnel at night in a romantic black and white wedding photo.

Long before I loved photography, I loved romance itself.
