Meet Justin + Whitney

Before meeting Justin and moving back to her hometown of Lancaster, Whitney lived in Los Angeles working as a 1st Assistant Director and Producer on various independent films. After graduating high school, she attend the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York City, eventually moving to Los Angeles and joining SAG-AFTRA [The Screen Actors Guild]. As an actress she was featured on numerous television shows such as New Girl, Comedy Central's Workaholics, and was a photo-double for Jennifer Lawerence in the David O. Russel film "Joy". As a 1st Assistant Director, her work has been seen at film festivals such as Cannes, South by South West, and many others. The projects she has worked on have also gone on to receive distribution from HBO, HULU, and Sony Music Japan. 

Justin began his cinematic journey at HACC, one of the top photography schools in the nation, working in dark rooms and  learning on film. After developing a passion for moving images, he furthered his education at Southeastern University in Florida to receive his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film. After attending the Los Angles Film Studies Center in California, he returned home to grow his wedding brand all over Central Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York City, Maryland and the East Coast. His work has been featured in Style Me Pretty, Martha Stewart Weddings, Dream Weddings, and most recently he was awarded "Best Luxury Wedding Films in Pennslyvania" by LuxLife Magazine.  

Justin and Whitney's own love story was a supernatural experience which they still feel was divinely orchestrated by God. When they first saw each other across the street at a local coffee shop, it was love at first sight. On their first date, they found out they attended the same film school in Los Angeles at different times, and realized they had so many other mutual interests and shared values. After an eight hour phone conversation that stretched into the early morning, and both separately feeling the presence of God as they spoke to one another on the phone, they both knew in their hearts that they would one day marry. Exactly one year later, New Years Eve night they did!
