About Your Photographer
How it all started...
My name is Téa (pronounced Tay-uh) and I’m so happy you’re here! Before we dive in, let’s start with some background about how I got where I am today!
My love for photography started during my senior year in high school. I was involved in all of the student media programs including yearbook and the school’s news broadcast production. Things really picked up for me when my parents bought me my first camera as a graduation gift. I started off doing fun shoots with my friends to build my portfolio and by my freshman year of college, I shot my first wedding! And here we are six years later and I can gladly say my love for weddings and photography has continued to grow!
I’m here to capture the real moments. The ones that aren’t posed or polished, but full of emotion, energy, and love. Because not every moment is picture-perfect, and that’s exactly what makes it beautiful. It’s those honest, fleeting feelings that tell the story of your day and those are the memories worth holding onto forever.
As your wedding photographer, I’m here for so much more than just taking photos. I value your story and the experience you’ll have along the way. From start to finish, you can count on me to guide you, support you, and make sure your day feels effortless so you can focus on what truly matters: celebrating your love.
Where we are now...
Now that the formal introduction is over, let’s jump into the fun stuff. Today, my goal is to be more than just the photographer that shows up to your wedding day. I want to learn your story, connect with you, laugh together and become friends. Because at the end of the day, your wedding pictures are something you’re going to look back on for the rest of your life and you want to make sure that the person taking them is someone you know and trust. So to jumpstart that process, here’s a few things about me:
My love language is food and coffee. If you give me carbs and a mocha frappe, I will instantly love you.
My sister and I have a talent for inserting our favorite movie and tv-show quotes into any conversation. Our favorites are Shrek, The Grinch, New Girl and Schitt’s Creek (Ewh, David!).
I am the proud wife of a firefighter and EMT. His name is Tanner and we’ve got married May 2025 in the Poconos. He’s the reason I offer military and first responder discounts!

Just a few months ago, I said “I Do” to my best friend! That’s right, we got married!! Wedding planning was quite the journey and I am alway open to chat about it, help others, and bounce ideas off each other!

Where are my SJM lovers at?? I love reading (when I have the time). My favorite books are ACOTAR and Crescent City! I still have yet to read Throne of Glass, so no spoilers please!

My husband, Tanner, and I love to go on cruises and see the world. We’ve been to so many places from Alaska to Aruba and we can’t wait to explore more! If you book a travel elopement, Tanner will most likely be coming along as my assistant!

One of my favorite memories is dogsledding on top of Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska. Visiting Alaska was one of my childhood dreams and it was the experience of a lifetime! I can’t wait to visit again!

I’m really just a young girl with an old soul and I love all things vintage! I have a collection of old cameras, vinyl records, vintage clothes and so much more! If your wedding is Gatsby themed, sign me up!!

I have 5 tattoos but this is one is my most recent which I got for our Doberman, Bella, who passed away a few years ago but we still love her!

Speaking of Bella, here she is! She was a sassy, spoiled pup. We hope to rescue another Doberman soon but she will always be in our hearts!
Supporting small businesses...
You may not have known but I’m not just a wedding photographer. I also love supporting and working with local small businesses. As a small business owner myself, I understand the struggles that owners can face whether they just started pursuing their dreams or are expanding their lifelong business. So, I use my photography and design skills to bring their visions to life and help their businesses succeed. I’ve helped small business owners with everything from social media management and website design to branding sessions and product photography and so much more. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with some amazing small businesses right here in Pennsylvania and beyond. See if you recognize any of them!
