Harrisburg Wedding Photographer - Grace Lightner Photography - Celebrating Life Through Modern Artistic Photography

Weddings & Events
Central PA & Harrisburg's Wedding & Engagement Photographer for the Stylish & Fun!

So, what you can expect with a Wedding by Grace Lightner?

We take the time to get to know you as a couple & as individuals (one of our most favorite parts!). Your personalities, loves, likes, dislikes, interests, hobbies, quirks, favorite music, shows, art, ect... We then use what we have learned as inspiration when it comes focusing our shooting style to you and to brainstorm ways to showcase your uniqueness as couple for your Engagement Session & Wedding Day.
We provide tips & suggestions to help you plan your Wedding Day more efficiently so that we can maximize our time creating deliciousness for you AND so you can have more time to enjoy the Day celebrating with each other and your guests!
For packages over $2500 we offer a complimentary Engagement Session. Not only are these ridiculously fun, and produce insanely gorgeous results of you in a more informal state of dress, they are also the perfect preview to the kind of results you might expect on your Wedding Day!
For packages over $2500 we offer complimentary Wedding Photography Registry set up & service. An ingenious and almost effortless way for you to cut costs without compromising quality.
A Venue tour, where we will walk the grounds together. And while you point out the areas that appeal to you for photos, we will be taking notes that will allow for us to more smoothly plan our coverage.
We bring an arsenal of sexy professional photo equipment including cameras, portable lighting, a variety of scrumptious lenses (wide angle, fish eye, telephoto, macro, ect...) as well as backup equipment just in case.
We are terribly easy to get along with, we offer corny jokes, genuine smiles, infectious excitement and high energy. You and your guests will enjoy the time you are in our hands!
A Wedding Coordinator? Well not officially... however since we will be spending so much of the day with you, we help keep things on course and moving along so we stay closely synced with your Wedding Day itinerary.
We are great with getting people to relax for photos, taking charge of the situation and using good humor to move people along as needed without ever coming off pushy or rude.
An awesome assistant will be in attendance to provide an extra hand. They will also be shooting during certain portions of the day to provide more complete coverage.
We photograph in a portrait journalistic style which blends photojournalism (those beautifully intimate moments that are unknowingly captured) with elegant, fun, fresh and artistically composed portrait photography (we will definitely try to push the limits on creative shots if enough time is allotted and we think you'd be game).
And of course we also gobble up all those beautiful & pretty details (we know you worked hard on them!)
We feel posing is such an important element in Wedding Photography, especially when it comes to the Bridal Portraits. When you come across gorgeous photos of Bridal Couples that look completely natural, full of life and emotion & unposed, it is because they were posed so well! We take the intimidation out of posing with our "do what I do" approach and simple direction to create flattering shots that feel natural, intimate, beautiful and full of emotion. Oh but they can't all feel natural, that would be boring! We also pose for dramatic, editorial, comic and fashion inspired looks too based on what we think you might be up for.
Sometimes things happen that can cause unexpected stress. If we notice a rise in your stress level, we will promptly step in to get you refocused, destressed and more relaxed. We need for you to focus on enjoying your Wedding Day and celebrating so that we can focus on feeding our cameras more delicious images.
We offer an ingenious Wedding Photography Registry Service... oh did we say that already? Well it is worth a repeat! The Wedding Photography Registry can virtually eliminate your out of pocket photography investment and allow you to take home all the goodness you had your hearts set on.
We pre-edit all the final images to make sure they look yummy and pour our creative love on our favorites for your ultimate viewing pleasure and to illicit squeals of joy!
We publish our favorite images to our Photo Blog and/or create an online slideshow of your final proofs so you can show off your Wedding Photos to Family & Friends.
We offer all sorts of yummy high quality custom products to showcase your gorgeous Wedding Images.
Our luxurious Wedding Albums feature your impeccably edited images in stunning custom layouts. Each Album is designed from scratch and inspired by your unique style & collection of Wedding Images to create a powerful presentation. Wedding Albums feature photographic prints mounted on durable The material and manufacturing of each album is of the highest quality and archivally sound.

Special Note

Every Bridal Couple & Wedding we photograph is uniquely special, exciting and inspiring to us. We devote a lot of time getting to know our Couples & in helping them plan a successful Wedding Day. And after the Wedding Day, a significant amount of time is also devoted to the editing process, which we tailor to match each Couple & Wedding. In order to provide the best service possible to our Wedding Clients without significantly affecting service to our Portrait Clients, we will only accept a limited # of Wedding commissions each year. As it is important for Couples to find their perfect Wedding Photographer, it is equally as important for us to find the perfect Wedding Client that will inspire us to create an amazing Wedding Set for them (and for us!). So meeting prior to booking is a must! If you think we may make a perfect match, please contact us to schedule a Consultation. Please make note that we normally book 9-12 months in advance.

We are no longer booking for 2011 Weddings.

A few openings are still available for the 2012 Wedding Season.
