Creative Storytelling for couples who live in the moment
A husband-and-wife wedding photography & videography team in the Lehigh Valley
We’re Dan and Laura Pinckard – a husband & wife team specializing in wedding photography and videography in the Lehigh Valley, PA area.
Ever since we got engaged in 2016, photography has been an integral part of our relationship. It became our passion as a couple. We honestly never sought after publications, awards, or recognition. It was just about taking photos and videos that inspired us.
It just so happened that other people were inspired, too. 7+ years later, and we’ve worked with hundreds of couples, taken nearly a million pictures, built an amazing community of supporters on social media, and have had our work featured in prestigious magazines like Vogue and Insider.
We’ve even had the privilege of being hired to shoot weddings in the most beautiful parts of the world, including national parks, the coast of Ireland, and the Caribbean.
Real Stories from wedding clients
Because nothing we say matters if our clients don't have an incredible experience

See full wedding galleries, not just highlights
It’s easy to love the best photo from someone’s portfolio. But what about the rest of the day – the low light moments, the chaotic dance floor, the quiet glances no one else saw? We believe you deserve to see the full story.
Our Style: Deep Colors, Candid Moments, Artistic Composition
You deserve wedding photos & video that you’ll love. It’s the one thing (besides the rings) that you’ll have after the wedding day is over. Our goal is to tell the story of your wedding day with authenticity, so you’ll feel like you’re experiencing it all over again every time you look at your photos.

Questions?
The important info...
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes! While we’re based in the Lehigh Valley, we regularly photograph weddings across PA, NJ, NY, and even out west & internationally. Here are a few photos from other destinations.
Our travel packages are very straightforward & all-inclusive. Send us a message for more info!
What is your turnaround time for photo delivery?
We always send a gallery of a few dozen sneak peeks within 72 hours, and the full gallery within 12 weeks. We don’t use any AI automated culling/editing software (every image is hand-edited by Laura!) so we take our time to make sure your photos are beautiful.
Do you offer photo + video packages?
Yes! Laura does photography & Dan does videography, so you can book us for a complete photo + video package! Here is an example of a video:

What precautions do you take to make sure the wedding photos are safe?
This is SO important to us. We never want to be in a situation where someone’s wedding memories are at risk, so we are extra careful. Here’s our workflow:
- We use a camera with dual memory cards and only use high-end cards, so there’s virtually no chance of a memory card failure (which happens relative often with cheap cards).
- We back up every wedding onto two separate hard drives and the cloud, so there’s redundancy in case anything happens to one (or two) of the backups.
- Just in case there’s an issue in the backup process, we store one of the memory cards in a fireproof safe until after your gallery is delivered.
Chat with us about your wedding
We only take on a limited number of weddings per year to give each couple our full attention. If you’re planning your wedding in the Lehigh Valley and want stunning photos, a laid-back experience, and people you actually enjoy having around – we’d love to hear from you.
“Every single photo they took was magical, dreamy, intimate, and full of emotion. They really captured our love. Laura and Dan were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to guide us through multiple locations throughout the day.
Thanks to them, we were able to stay present and enjoy the moment. Our photos are beyond anything we could have imagined. We’ve had countless people tell us they’re the most beautiful wedding photos they’ve ever seen… and we can’t help but agree.
Without hesitation, we would choose Laura and Dan again and again.”
