SCHWENIG PHOTOGRAPHY
Reading, PA micro wedding & elopement photographer
the MISSION
Based in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania, I specialize in capturing unscripted moments for the “fearlessly in love" throughout Berks County, the Lehigh Valley, and Bucks County. Whether you’re planning a high-fashion estate wedding in Bethlehem or an intentional, avant-garde micro wedding in the heart of Reading, my mission is to create images that feel as bold, honest, and deeply personal as the story you’re writing together.
the VISION
My approach blends editorial composition with raw, documentary-style storytelling. I move seamlessly between guided art direction and quiet, candid observation capturing the fleeting "in between" scenes that define your connection. From the historic charm of Wyomissing to the cinematic landscapes of the Pocono Mountains and Allentown, I travel across Eastern Pennsylvania to preserve the texture of your celebration with a timeless yet daring style.
what brides are SAYING
“MACKENZIE AND JOSH ARE THE best PHOTOGRAPHERS in the area!”
They took our somewhat crazy idea of a mountain elopement at Shenandoah and turned it into a reality. They helped us plan out the day, traveled with us to the site, and did a short hike with us to a summit. They can adapt to any situation and made the day stress-free and easy. We wouldn’t have wanted to shoot our elopement with any other team. We felt so comfortable working with them and had a great time during all of our photos. You can clearly see how much they care through the photos they take.”
Communication is super easy and direct with the Schwenigs. You will never be talking to an assistant or third party and instead are always texting or calling directly with them which is a total win. For any project even something smaller like an elopement or microwedding, the Schwenigs put their all into it. If I can give you a piece of advice to make your special day great, hire the Schwenigs!

Mackenzie & Josh were the absolute best. For starters, they were very clear with communication all the way up to the wedding day and after. They were everywhere they needed to be at the right time to accomplish their job and were so kind in every aspect! They made the day feel natural and helped us shine! Getting the wedding photos back and looking through them was like reliving the day all over again while also feeling like you were watching a fairy tale unfold before your eyes. Fantastic photographers and a great team!

We truly loved the natural and elegant perspectives of Mackenzie & Josh. They captured every single special moment and made it everlastingly beautiful. Our families loved the quality of our pictures and I couldn’t have asked for a better collection of images than our finished gallery. The day was hectic, but thankfully we have these pictures to relive each special moments.

Mackenzie and Josh are absolutely amazing to work with! They photographed our engagement pictures as well as our wedding and we are so pleased with their work. Mackenzie and Josh made us feel so comfortable and really captured who we are as a couple. The photographs are absolutely stunning and better than we could have imagined. We had so much fun working with them and will definitely be booking again in the future!

We hired Josh and Mackenzie after receiving tremendous reviews and feedback. With very little lead time to the wedding, they outperformed all of our expectations. They were prompt, courteous, patient and generous. The pictures were perfect! We cannot thank them enough - and highly recommend using them for your next function.
