From the very beginning, she wanted to ensure that we were comfortable and well taken care of. As we all know, weddings can be very hectic for the bride and groom due to all the moving parts. Petra's calm demeanor brought an essential element of peace to a very busy day.

From the first video meeting, Petra created such a comfortable environment. This was made even more clear during our engagement shoot and then on our wedding day. There are a lot of moving parts on the wedding day and Petra was on top of it from the start.

With over a decade of experience documenting weddings, my work is rooted in an appreciation for history, beauty, and connection. I’m drawn to storied estates, gardens, and spaces with soul. I am a wife, mother of two, painter, gardener, traveler, and lifelong design enthusiast.
My typical areas of operation are Philadelphia and the Lehigh Valley, NYC and surrounding areas, as well as New Jersey. I do not charge a travel fee for these areas.
I will travel nearly anywhere on the globe with enough notice! Fees and travel costs may apply if location is over 2 hours from Bethlehem, PA.

Although I have never had the misfortune to miss a client's wedding due to an emergency, I have an excellent network of fellow photographers (and other industry professionals) that I would call upon to come to our aid should I become incapacitated prior to your wedding day.
