A beautiful beach, adorable kiddos, and a stunning ceremony space– I love being a Stone Harbor wedding photographer!
Why Rhinehart Photography?
Leigh Ann shares, “We chose Rhinehart Photography because of the wide variety of high-quality photos that are playful and romantic. The photos are so unique and personal. Leading up to the wedding Lisa and Jim were very well organized and easygoing! They made us feel very comfortable and allowed us to express our wants and needs easily.”
Leigh Ann adds, “Jim was amazing throughout the whole day! He was calm, went with the flow, and professional on such a hectic day. It gave me less stress on the wedding day knowing how creative and independent he was.”
My associate, Jim, is a photography friend that I met at a conference over a decade ago. We have photographed dozens of weddings together. He has a similar style and approach, being caring and client-focused, a driven, highly-skilled photojournalist with hundreds of weddings under his belt. He and I spent years neck and neck competing for the #1 wedding photographer in Pennsylvania! He’s even held my rope as I dangled 20 feet in the air rock climbing! I trust this dude!
Jim’s photography skills paired with my editing skills were a perfect match for this wedding! Wow…
Pretty Preparations & Cute Kiddos: Stone Harbor Wedding Photographer
Leigh Ann smiles, “Seeing our nieces and nephews play together during preparations, walk down the aisle, and dance on the dance floor together melted our hearts! It was the cutest thing ever! It was the first time the kids truly spent time together and it looked like they were living their best lives.”
haaa, love the bride’s playful expression here, she is so much fun!
Remembering Loved Ones
Leigh Ann shares, “Not having my Dad at our wedding was extremely heartbreaking and emotional. I was such a Daddy’s girl and wanted to honor him by carrying a photo locket of him that was attached to my bridal bouquet. I felt protected knowing that he was spiritually by my side.”
Fab First Look: Stone Harbor Wedding Photographer
Leigh Ann smiles, “Matt is kind, silly, and full of life. He is always willing to go the extra mile to put a smile on my face. I knew I wanted to marry Matt because he has always makes me feel truly at home.”
She continues, “When Matt joined the military we both knew we would face unique challenges and obstacles, however, we both knew what we wanted and that was each other.”
Matt adds “Being in the military was truly the toughest decision leaving everything behind to do something that’s meant to build myself as a person and grow internally.”
He says “I appreciate Leigh Ann’s understanding when it comes to just about anything I do whether it comes to work or my daily life. She is the sweetest and kindest girl in my life. Leigh Ann’s sense of humor goes the extra mile no matter what time of day it is and she has the ability to always put a smile on my face even through the hardest days.”
Matt continues, “Our opposite personality traits are what makes us a unique couple. We bring out hidden parts of ourselves that we have rarely shown before in the best ways possible. We grew more compatible from learning each other’s differences and being there for each other throughout the best and worst moments of our lives together. What also makes us unique is how much we both love the Philadelphia Eagles. It was special taking a moment during the reception to honor the Eagles by singing the Eagles fight song with everyone we loved. Go Birds!“

Wedding Ceremony: Reeds at Shelter Haven Wedding Photographer
Leigh Ann recalls, “The ceremony itself felt so magical for so many reasons. Standing with Matt in front of all of our family and friends who came to celebrate us felt surreal. Looking out and seeing the sunset on the bay, looking at all of the beautiful flowers and the string lights was stunning.”
She adds, “Having my Mom by my side walking down the aisle with me was an incredibly special moment for us. I will forever remember and cherish that moment.”
Reception: Reeds at Shelter Haven Wedding Photographer
Leigh Ann shares, “We chose The Reeds at Shelter Haven because the shore has always been home to us. We have lived in many different places and would always go back to the NJ beaches during the summer. What I love most about the venue is that it has an indoor and outdoor option. Everywhere you look has gorgeous views especially the outside deck overlooking the bay.”
Matt adds “I also love the views, reputation, and staff members that take care of every detail to make big events into incredible nights to remember. The outside area had more space for the guests to roam around to explore and engage with each other and that helped both of the sides of our families and friends to get to know each other.”
Heartfelt and Playful Traditions: Stone Harbor Wedding
Matt says, “Our reception felt like a success because we had everyone on the dance floor all night long! We were all having so much fun and dancing the night away. We really loved our DJ Fusion band and their light-up electric string instruments.”
Happily Ever After
Matt smiles, “Being together every day has been life-changing. Being around my best friend has been everything I have imagined it to be. I can’t wait to build a life together and see what the next few years hold for us.”
