I loved photographing Mallory & Vishu’s wedding & now, as their family grows, have the pleasure of being their Creative Mechanicsburg family photographer, too!
Why Rhinehart Photography?
Mallory shares, “Having a maternity shoot was very special for us, as this is our first ‘baby on board.” Shooting with Lisa at one of our favorite local venues, where we got married, was fun and nostalgic. Lisa photographed our wedding at this beautiful venue, and being pregnant a year later and coming back to Ashcombe with Lisa brought all the feels.”
She continues, “Lisa is very passionate about her work and it shines through in every photo! We feel so comfortable working with Lisa and appreciate her being very thoughtful and thorough about our vision and what we asked for! She’s so happy to make it all happen.”
Ashcombe Wedding to Ashcombe Maternity
Mallory smiles, “We chose The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion as our location because we got married there and just couldn’t get enough. There are so many artistic and creative opportunities at this massive mansion. It was perfectly curated for a talented photographer like Lisa to work with!”
Their Style and Color Palette
Mallory says, “For our first outfit, we chose soft neutrals, clothing we’d wear every day to capture an everyday look of ours. We live for coziness every day– sweaters, sweatpants, and comfy socks. That’s really our vibe and we wanted to show that in the photos. Showing up in our real-life aesthetic helped Lisa capture the real us.”
She adds, “For our second look of me in the black body-con dress, I wanted to show off the bump that I grew through months of hell from HG. I wanted to see beauty after the darkness of being sick for so many months. Lisa really helped me feel beautiful during this shoot.”
Creative Ashcombe Mansion Photographer
Mallory says, “Our favorite part about working with Lisa is her creativity and willingness to try anything. The sunlight and shadows and sneaky angles and the shots through crystals with us blurred in the back– all creative vision we left up to Lisa but we knew she could handle it. She has ideas no one else has and we are always up for her ideas!!”
We tried to recreate this concept from their wedding photos. You can see the original idea from their wedding here!
Their Journey as Parents
Mallory smiles, “We were blessed to get pregnant right away and blessed to make it through the pregnancy and get through the labor and delivery because we now have a sweet little boy!! Our hearts are bursting at the seams!”
Traditional and Creative
While my focus as a Mechanicsburg creative family photographer is colorful, creative, custom-tailored photography, I also make sure to get flattering, well-composed, and lit photos of each couple in addition to those creative images, too.
Colorful Bold Modern Maternity Portraits
Mallory says, “We liked the modern, low-effort look, but we knew that could only be pulled off by a fantastic photographer like Lisa. We were so excited for the lighting Lisa played with– the sunlight peaking through windows shining through crystals and stained glass, and reflecting off mirrors. Showing up in simple outfits to let Lisa use the light and her creativity to create artistic shots was what we were excited for. We had a moody vision to reflect on the pregnancy and how it was a tough but beautiful journey.”
At the End of the Day…
The couple smiles, “We fell for each other through our love of travel and food. The two of us work well together because we are opposites in many ways, so we really balance each other out! We are so excited for this next chapter in our lives!”
