Twisted Oaks Studio
Creative and high-contrast.

Their philosophy:
“We are storytellers, and the only way to truly tell the story of our client’s love on their wedding day is by getting to know them. On the wedding day, we feel more like friends that were asked to bring their cameras than hired photographers.”
What they look for in their clients:
“Couples that have an appreciation for art, photography, and working with a studio that is focused on capturing more than just pretty pictures.”

Twisted Oaks does the majority of their work in the Philly and Pennsylvania area, but they also do about 10 weddings out of state per year.

Nikki Robinson Photography
Bright and vivid.
Nikki is a photographer based in Philadelphia who loves cats, spaghetti, and turning moments into memories.
Her philosophy:
“I like potential clients to know that I try to essentially be a fly on the wall. Aside from when we’re shooting posed photos, I capture the rest of the day in a photojournalistic kind of way.”
Her favorite part of the job:
“Getting to witness the pure love and joy between the couple. If we’re doing an engagement session, they might be laughing at how awkward they feel and it brings them closer . . . on wedding days, whether it’s personal vows, seeing them light up when they see each other for the first time, or how excited they get after the ceremony when you tell them to look at their husband/wife for the first time for a photo. It really warms my heart!”
Bonus:
Nikki’s wedding packages include 50% off engagement sessions.
