Romance, Remembered as Art

Fine Art Wedding Photography

Digital & Film

Sage green fabric with subtle tone-on-tone floral sprigs and dot pattern, perfect for elegant home decor or quilting projects.

Dear Future You,


Remember how this felt.


The anticipation before the ceremony.

The squeeze of a hand.

The quiet moments no one else noticed.

Years from now, when the flowers have wilted and the music has faded, your photographs will remain.

My approach blends romantic storytelling, genuine emotion, and fine art imagery to preserve not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt.

Because your love story deserves to be remembered as art.

Meet Your Photographer

Hi, I'm Lana.

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll usually find me chasing after my toddler Theo (yes, his name was inspired by a certain Harry Potter character), studying at Penn State, or wandering through antique stores in search of forgotten treasures.


My home is shared with five cats, two dogs, and more books than I have shelf space for. I've always been drawn to stories, the ones found in old photographs, well-loved novels, and the little moments that become more meaningful with time.


My goal isn't to turn you into models for a day. It's to create photographs that feel genuine, romantic, and unmistakably like you, images that bring you right back to the feeling years from now.


And if you love books, animals, antiquing, or Harry Potter, there's a good chance we'll get along just fine.

FAQ

Do you travel?

Absolutely. I photograph weddings throughout Pennsylvania, the DMV, and worldwide. If your celebration takes me somewhere new, even better, I genuinely love exploring new places.

For weddings outside my local area, travel fees may apply, but I'll always discuss those details upfront so there are no surprises along the way.

Do you help with timelines?

Yes, I love this part.

I've seen enough wedding days to know what helps a timeline feel relaxed and what can leave couples feeling rushed. Whether it's planning enough time for portraits, deciding on a first look, or building in breathing room throughout the day, I'm happy to help create a timeline that feels natural and enjoyable.

How far in advance should we book?

Most couples reach out anywhere from a few months to over a year before their wedding day.

If you've fallen in love with a date, I always recommend inquiring sooner rather than later. That said, don't be afraid to reach out if your wedding is right around the corner, I occasionally have last-minute availability and would love to hear about your plans.

What if we're awkward in front of the camera?

Then you're exactly like almost every couple I've ever photographed.

I can't tell you how many inquiry calls start with, "We're really awkward in photos." By the end of the session, they're usually laughing about how worried they were.

You don't need modeling experience. You don't need to know what to do with your hands. My job is to guide you when needed, help you feel comfortable, and create space for genuine moments to happen naturally.

Can we create a custom collection?

Absolutely.

Every wedding is a little different, and not every celebration fits neatly into a package. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering, a destination wedding, or something entirely unique, I'd be happy to create a collection tailored to your day.

If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, just ask. Some of my favorite celebrations have been the ones that broke the mold.
