I am Petra Somers, and this is your home for gorgeous light-filled and uplifting wedding photography for couples who want to have fun, focus on each other, and remember the day with vibrant and authentic imagery.
I have a fine-art background, but many happy years ago I traded my paintbrushes for cameras and never looked back. There is so much beauty in the light of love! I am so enriched and lucky to be able to create art from your sweetest moments.
I welcome all beautiful souls who want an easy and fun photography experience, where you feel confident and radiant every step of the way. Tell me your story and what you’re dreaming of, we will have a magical time.
“She put us right at ease and gave great direction. Her pictures not only captured the scene, but also the spirit of the day”
“Petra is a talent like no other. She can calm a nervous bride, and make her feel at ease. She has her looking and feeling beautiful in every shot. The images she captures embody the feeling of the day… that is not something that many photographers can do. I’d reccomend her 100 times over”
“If I could give a 20-star rating, I would! Petra is simply the BEST photographer with whom I have ever worked, and so multi-talented. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Petra is such a sweet person and has a way about her that’s calming and brings some peace to your wedding. She showed up on time and did everything and then some without me even having to say a word. Petra and her pictures exceeded my expectations!”
