Having Lora as our photographer was one of my favorite parts of our wedding! I had been following her work for years and was so excited to finally hire her when my big day came.
Lora's work speaks for itself and I could leave it at that, but it's her energy and personality that really makes the experience so special.
From our first meeting, I knew we would be in good hands. She was always SO positive and energetic, full of great ideas, but still listened to everything we said about how we imagined the day.
On the actual day, she was such a light and positive force during a stressful morning. We were running late (as most brides are), but she was patient and still made sure we had time to get all the shots we wanted. She was firm but sweet in dealing with some overzealous family members who had their own ideas for us. She kept checking in with me all day and night to make sure we were in a good place and got everything we wanted in our photos. I truly felt that I could relax and enjoy the day because I knew we were in good hands!
It goes without saying that our images were TO DIE FOR and the hardest part was just to narrow them down!
Lora is not only an amazing photographer, but an amazing person all around and will become your best friend of the day! You can't go wrong having her on your team.
Thank you again Lora for being such a big part of creating the absolute best day of our lives

Lora Reehling absolutely exceeded every expectation that my Bride and I had. Minutes upon meeting her, we absolutely knew that this photographer would not only shoot the best pictures of our day, but she would give us as much care as she would her own wedding. Lora was flexible, outgoing, and reliable throughout the entire process. Her response to every one of our requests was “Absolutely! I can do that!” First, she met us in Ocean City, MD to take breathtaking engagement photos and knew exactly how to get us comfortable and smiling (which is easier said than done). Throughout the process, Lora was completely accessible and was more than willing to give us advice on all things wedding planning that went beyond photography. On the day-of, Lora was sure to meet our every need and felt less than a wedding photography and more like a wedding guru who also takes the most beautiful photos. Lora works with only the best shooters who share her enthusiasm for pleasing everyone. After our wedding, several of our guests approached us and told us, “Your photographer absolutely loves what she does. Her energy is infectious.” Finding Lora was the best thing we could have done for our special day. We didn’t hire a videographer and don’t regret it one bit, as Lora captured every moment so well that we can relive the same feelings we had that day by just looking at our photos. Lora is the best photographer in the world and a special person. We 100% recommend her to anyone who wants to smile on their wedding day and smile every time they look back on it through her photos. Thank you Lora!! More...

We contacted Lora because of the amazing job my fiance said she did at her brother's wedding. We both went into the initial meeting not knowing what questions to ask, but she put us at ease right away.

She knew the questions to ask. After asking about our story and venue, Lora started laying out how she could capture the day for us. We told her some of the shots we were hoping to get, and she made sure they made it into our planning.

Then the day of the wedding arrived.

Lora and her other photographer were prompt and professional. But for your wedding, you would expect that. What I remember was how they seemed almost as excited about the wedding as we were.

They felt like they were part of the wedding. Not just photographers, but participants there to celebrate with us. They guided the bridal party through our pictures, and even laughed at some of my brother's terrible dad jokes. This was not in the contract, so it definitely qualifies as "above and beyond the call of duty."

Just a few days later while on our honeymoon, my wife and I got a notification that our preview images were ready. They were amazing! Lora chose the perfect set of pictures to get us excited for the rest of the album.

When we got the rest of the pictures, we so happy with how they turned out. Not only did she capture the pictures we talked about, but she got the ones we didn't even know to ask for.

She knew that our family and friends meant a lot to us, so she made sure to capture their reactions to the day, not just our own. She got my wife's parents laughing during the ceremony, my nephew dancing during the reception, and our friends having a blast at the photo booth.

She captured the faces my wife and I made at each other when we thought we were between portraits. Lora got pictures of how excited our nieces and nephews got when the DJ played 'baby shark,' or the joy on my dad's face when his entrance song was 'smoke on the water.' One of the most important for me was the joy on my grandmother's face, a lifelong Phillies fan, when the Phanatic came up and asked her to dance.

I don't remember her taking these pictures, but it makes sense that she did. She was there to celebrate with us, and so she was there to capture everything she knew we would consider important.

We spent hours going through them, remembering that day and imagining where we could hang the prints. Short of getting the album as wallpaper, I don't think we could find a way to put every "perfect" shot on our wall. We're working on it.

I'm so happy that we had Lora there for the best day (so far) of our lives. Her pictures will help us relive that day for years to come. I cannot recommend her services enough.

Lora is an awesome photographer. I am truly a fan of her work. She has unique eyes capturing authentic moments of people's expressions or gestures. Love the bright and warm colors that she uses. Love the portrait pictures she takes and the use of light to her advantage. Lora is very professional and responsive with follow-ups. She is very passionate and will go above and beyond when it comes to taking great shots. She helped us with our wedding day schedule and provided useful advice regarding the flow of the day.

We hired Lora Reehling for our April 2017 wedding in Philadelphia and she truly exceeded our expectations. From the beginning, Lora was incredibly easy to speak with and responded to our communication almost immediately, whether by phone, text, or email. We were planning our wedding out of state and Lora adjusted her schedule to accommodate ours on the few occasions we flew into town. Lora's expertise was evident from the moment we began our correspondence. She scouted the neighborhood around our venue for opportunities, gently steered us away from some of our bad ideas, and showed a warm, genuine interest in making our day a special one. Lora reviewed timelines with us and was proactive in discussions with our other vendors leading up to our date to ensure everyone was in sync. We also want to acknowledge Lora's 2nd photographer Annie who worked seamlessly with Lora on the day of the wedding and assisted in Lora's production until the end of the reception. Annie also did an excellent job shooting the groom as he prepared with his family and friends. By the end of the reception we were asked countless times how we came to be friends with Lora which speaks to her kindness and outgoing nature. Lastly, Lora delivered our incredible photos on time and as promised. She captured the entire event with both creative and classic perspectives. She even managed to capture the bride's father smiling, which is a small miracle! We can't say enough how much we appreciated Lora's passion and professionalism - she was a big and memorable part of our day and experience. Her beautiful pictures continue to delight us each time we look through them.

PS - Lora also killed it on the dance floor at the reception. Nice moves, Lora!

Lora Reehling is one of the coolest, sweetest, most loving people that I know. When I was first getting started in wedding photography, I had the absolute privilege of assisting Lora. She is a very talented photographer, obviously. But its everything else she does that makes her truly one of a kind. She is an organizer, a dress holder, a pep talker, a drunk bridal party corall-er, a confidence booster, hand holder, hugger, joke teller, butt kicker and whatever else a bride may need. She has an infectiously positive personality, and she runs a wedding day like a boss. Being a good photographer is not enough to be a good wedding photographer. You have to be all these other things and more. Through my experience with Lora, I learned how to confidently run a wedding day, taking gorgeous images and keeping everyone happy. I really, truly owe my confidence and fearlessness to Lora's example. We have shot over 20 weddings together and become lifelong friends. She would be a great mentor for anyone, and I can't wait till she starts teaching workshops one day! #amazeballs More...

Lora was just fantastic in every way! I've now seen her work at two weddings (my sister's and mine) and I can say she truly brings an incredible amount of energy and thoughtfulness to her work 100% of the time. She will literally climb on the furniture, lie down on the the street (safely!), jump around, anything it takes to get the perfect shot. Even our DJ commented he had never seen a wedding photographer with so much energy. She is also very careful and thoughtful in her work and you can see how this pays off in the final shots!

Lora was very easy to work with throughout the whole process. She was very accommodating and easy to communicate with and really took the time to get to know us and what we wanted. She is also great at helping you to put together your day-of schedule and keeping you on time, which is very challenging! I highly recommend Lora to everyone!

Lora will feel like so much more than a photographer at your wedding, she will become your friend. She genuinely cares about getting the best out of everyone she works with. She will get you to laugh, bring out your brightest smile and forget about any stress/anxiety you may have on your wedding day.

I was so impressed by Lora’s work that before even sitting down to meet her for the first time. I couldn’t wait to see her work for mine and my wife’s wedding day. She is easy to communicate with, she is thorough at coordinating what kind of photos the bride / groom want on their wedding day and makes it happen.

If I can give anyone reading this review any advice it is to stop looking and hire Lora. Look at her work, it speaks for itself. Your wedding photos last a lifetime, don’t take any short cuts. She has a personality that lights up the sky and is simply an amazing individual, can’t recommend her enough.

Based on our wedding location and the size of our wedding party she recommended that we get a photography package that included another photographer besides her, but she was never pushy about this and allowed us to make our own decision. We did end up asking her to bring a second photographer with her, and this turned out to be the right choice. Our second photographer was also fantastic and he and Lora worked really well together.

Lora did a phenomenal job with our wedding photography. The photos that we got back looked so fantastic. She makes her photos reflect your personal wedding style. Our wedding style was classic and a bit on the traditional side, although I've seen pictures on her site of funkier wedding styles, too. When photographing all the guests at the wedding, she captured a lot of moments that we couldn't witness, and the photos are such a great record of our day, especially since we didn't hire a videographer. My advice in dealing with any wedding photographer would be to discuss well in advance how much time you want to budget for your bridal party and bride and groom photos, as well as the shots that you want to get. Lora takes the time to facilitate these conversations, and she has a great personality, which is so important too. More...

Lora did my sisters engagement shoot and wedding and we fell in love with her pictures. As soon as I got engaged I knew I would use Lora. She gave us an incredible engagement shoot in Philly and then traveled to the poconos for our wedding.

Guests raved all night about how friendly and accommodating the photographer was. And since I got my pictures back I have heard nothing but the best comments. I've been told "you have the wedding pictures that every girl dreams about". I can't agree more. Before the wedding I had been on Pinterest and created a board of photo ideas I liked. Lora then looked over the board and a week or so before the wedding she called and we discussed all the details and how she could incorporate the ideas I loved into my wedding

She is friendly and her pictures are amazing. We recommend her to all of our friends and I highly recommend her to you also!

She was everywhere she needed to be to get the perfect shot in the most inconspicuous way. Lora laid on the ground in downtown Philly, she stood on seats on top of a moving double decker bus, and she very politely shooed tourists out of our shots. Lora even came to our rehearsal so she could meet all the important players before the wedding. On the day of the wedding, I could tell she had really checked out each area for our photographs and it made everything smoother.

She helped me coordinate so much and did her best to keep us on track on our day ALL the while taking great shots! I don't know how she does it but I am so lucky to have found her. More...

You did such an amazing job on our wedding day words can't thank you enough. The minute we had our Skype call with you in January I knew we found THE PHOTOGRAPHER who would capture all our memories for us to share with family and friends for years to come. You & the team went OVER and beyond to make our wedding day the party of the decade! The amount of texts, emails, phone calls, & stories of You, Annie, & Dan that are being shared with Brenden (in the VERY short time we've been home mind you) is EXACTLY what Brenden and I hoped for when asking you to join our team to create this event. ( our wedding day) :) Lora, you gave me personally everything I needed, expected, & wanted to capture. I couldn't be more pleased with ALL you did to go over & beyond to capture us in the moment......Even if it meant running to catch the Spirit of Philly to grab the twilight shot, slipping an extra few bucks to the boat basin group to grab our water shots, biking all over center city the day before to scope out the red wall for our bridal party 'fun shot', knowing which skee ball to use at Spruce Park, swinging from the rafters to take the crowd surfing shot ( which I still can't figure out how that happened), staying to grab the Moshulu & Sparklers.... I can go on for hours & have with Brenden, trust me! Thank You Lora! Thank You for coming on board and being a HUGE part of our wedding day! The planning, scheduling, managing, phone calls, over planning, which in the end I think made the day easier then expected, was more then I could of hopped for! I wish every bride could experience what we had on the gorgeous day in September. You allowed myself & Brenden to enjoy every moment. You handled the crowd with such ease and direction it left people amazed at how calm things moved along & confused at how I could let go of that much control to truly enjoy myself. It was because of you Lora & I am truly grateful for EVERYTHING!!!!!! More...

Lora is an unbelievable photographer! My husband and I chose to work with her for our wedding because we were so impressed with her photography from a friend's wedding. She was literally my first call once we were engaged!

I loved her attention to detail and lighting, but also how she captured the story of our celebration in photographs. Lora is amazing because her personality is as wonderful as her work. At both my friend's wedding and ours, it felt like she was a part of the celebration.

My husband and I had a private and casual ceremony, then a BBQ with family and friends. We really appreciated her help in planning a non-traditional event. It truly felt like she was a bit of a bridesmaid! She was very knowledgeable and helped us organize both days. She's incredibly enthusiastic and genuine in her excitement about her profession. I was ultimately so impressed by her ability to be assertive in helping us get the photographs we wanted, but somehow remain completely unobtrusive.

I had multiple friends and family approach me at our BBQ and request her contact information, or compliment us on what a great photographer/person she was. I highly recommend her for any event you are planning. You will be thankful you chose her!

My husband and I decided to elope. It was a special occasion that we wanted to be private, but we also wanted to share it with our friends and family.

I told Lora about our plans, and she helped us create a really special day and captured it beautifully! Her enthusiasm is unparalleled. She immediately shared our excitement. She contacted me to talk about vision--sharing her ideas, asking me mine, and letting me know that my (then future) husband and I were in charge--any suggestions she made we could take or leave--she wanted us to do what we wanted. I felt no pressure. Also, I had almost no vision of my own--I just wanted to capture beautiful photos of the two of us. Her ideas were welcomed and I loved them!

We had ample time to talk about what we did and didn't want, and when it came to the day of our elopement shoot, we felt like Lora went above and beyond. She was prepared, energized, and fully ready to devote herself to the task at hand. She was a pro at making us feel comfortable--I tend to freeze up when in front of a lens--and she knew exactly when to give gentle and clear directions. Her creative spirit never stops, and she's always present in the moment. Lora's a professional and she's adaptable, making adjustments as needing and scanning the environment to catch a potential shot that couldn't have been planned but shouldn't be missed.

The experience was great, and the product was incredible! The photos are stunning. The light, the color, everything was fantastic. A colleague emailed after seeing our photos and said they are "the most joyful wedding photos" they've ever seen. The emotions and the importance of the day were captured, all while we were able to feel like our own authentic selves.

Lora was our photographer for our engagement pictures this past April and will be our photographer for our wedding as well. My fiance and I had a BLAST working with Lora and enjoyed every minute of our engagement shoot! Lora is so fun, has a warm, welcoming smile, is very creative, has lots of energy, and instantly makes you feel comfortable which was important to us because we wanted to feel relaxed and make sure our pictures looked natural. Our engagement pictures turned out AMAZING and we receive so many compliments when friends and family see them! We can't wait to have Lora shoot our wedding and are 100% confident that our wedding day will be documented by gorgeous and creative pictures that we will treasure for years to come. More...

Lora Reehling is a fun, passionate and creative photographer who instantly makes you feel comfortable with her and makes taking pictures a blast! We were drawn to Lora after seeing her blog where she took engagement pictures hiking with a couple. I love that she is will to be unconventional and is able to capture fun and intimate moments in a creative and artistic way. After speaking with her on the phone I knew that she would be a great match for me and my husband, Mike. Mike, who hates pictures, actually got excited about an engagement shoot after looking at her blog online! Things got even better when we met for our engagement shoot. She made us feel comfortable taking pictures and we had a lot of fun capturing a ton of phenomenal images hiking in a state park between both of our homes. It is easy to tell that Lora loves what she does. The wedding was a blast. I cannot wait to see our pictures. We love the preview picture! We had so much fun capturing pictures on the beach, in the dunes and on the boardwalk. Throughout the night she would grab Mike and I for sunset pictures or night time pictures. These moments were so special because Mike and I got to spend some time together, just the two of us - and Lora of course! Lora and her assistant Annie fit right into our group and got along great with our friends and family. We had a small wedding at a beach house and being surrounded by our closest friends and family only was a priority. I would definitely consider Lora a part of our family and am so happy that she was a part of our big day. More...

It's hard to describe how grateful we are to have chosen Lora for our wedding photographer. She gave us the exact wedding coverage package that suited our needs, and spoke to us many times before the big day to ensure she nailed every detail. On the day of, she blended in seamlessly with our wedding and felt like a treasured member of our family and friends. She worked INCREDIBLY hard to get amazing, creative, thoughtful shots on a crazy weather day. When we got our pictures there were tears and laughs and so many smiles. We only wish she could have been with us as we looked through them, but she was certainly there in spirit!! She masterfully, thoughtfully, and lovingly captured every moment we would have wanted. If there was a rating system beyond 5 stars she would certainly get it. More...

One of the most personable, friendly, joyous person we've met. Lora LIVES to shoot weddings and it shows, it really shows in her pictures. She meshes with the energy of your wedding, blends in, keeps your day on point, and surprises you later with pictures that make you relive your wedding. I'm serious about that last point. Go with Lora, relive your wedding months, years after.

Lora is the full package from start to finish - finish being whenever you're done ordering photos and albums from her long after the wedding. She is so much fun to work with. :D

Friends and family seeing our pictures:

"You could not have asked for better pictures."

"She made everyone so beautiful. I mean, I'm sure everyone was beautiful to begin with, but she made sure they were *always* beautiful in every single shot."

"It's literally so adorable and definitely seems to catch your personalities!! beautiful

At the beginning of our engagement and throughout the whole planning process, Lora was a delight to work with. She has an infectious sunny nature and is so clearly enthusiastic about her work and her art. It really shows in her dedication. Her gorgeous photographic eye speaks for itself, but it really takes a certain kind of person to make people feel comfortable during a most emotional time. Lora made sure that our photo sessions were tailor-made to our personalitites and our life together. She paid attention to and honored our needs and boundaries. She was an active part of the wedding day, and captured/created so many memories. The photos speak volumes about our lives.

I will look at these photos every single day! There aren't too many good things to say about Lora. Fully recommend. :)
