It’s about that little skin prickle when they’ve gotten a great shot, knowing the bride or groom is going to see it and connect, forever, with the moment. Wedding photography brings a lot of fulfillment to photojournalists Stephanie Carey and Ralph Wilson because it’s a combination of photographic art and the challenge of capturing one of the most unblemished human emotions: sincere joy.

The two have merged their talents to produce wedding collections that are artistic, creative, and detailed. “Photojournalistic wedding photography is more than a collection of candid shots,” according to Ralph. “The photographs should tell the story of the day—the big picture as well as the smaller details. All of those elements need to be composed into the frame artistically to become lasting treasures.”

Both photographers were first attracted to the process and art of photography, Stephanie through developing her own prints in a darkroom during a graphic arts class, and Ralph more than forty years ago, learning from his father. And although it’s a career, it’s still a passion for both. Images from their travels are on display at their studio in Williamsport, and both have earned awards for their photographs.

They pursue photography in other ways, too. Stephanie shares her knowledge and her enthusiasm for photography with aspiring young photographers each summer at Lycoming College's College for Kids and Teens. Ralph freelances for the Williamsport Sun-Gazette and Associated Press, pursuing editorial work through Ralph Wilson Photography.
