Samantha & Tyler | June 8, 2024 | Camp Lindenmere | WEDDING | Poconos Wedding Photographer
Timeless photographs are a form of care.
They hold what matters—so you can return to it, year after year.
Two years ago today, Samantha and Tyler said “i do” at Camp Lindenmere in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, surrounded by towering pines, lakeside air, and that unmistakable summer-camp nostalgia that makes a camp lindenmere wedding feel both joyful and grounded.
As your poconos wedding photographer, we’re always drawn to celebrations that feel like an honest reflection of the couple. Camp Lindenmere delivers that beautifully—rustic stone buildings, forest paths that glow at golden hour, and room for guests to wander, laugh, and truly settle into the day.
Samantha and Tyler brought an especially thoughtful presence to their wedding. As mental health therapists, they know how to hold space for people—and you could feel that in the way they moved through the day: attentive, connected, and quietly sure.
Samantha and Tyler weren't just any couple. They were two mental health therapists who spent their days helping others navigate life's most challenging moments—and they knew, better than most, what truly matters. Love. Connection. Joy.
They met on Hinge in 2021—one of those modern love stories that somehow still feels old-school in the best way. The kind that starts with a message, turns into coffee, turns into “wait… are you my person?” without either of you forcing it.
They’re also the kind of couple who’s happiest doing the real-life stuff together—cheering on the NY Giants and Devils, checking out new coffee shops, cooking at home, laughing when the recipe goes off the rails, trying again anyway.
when hinge turned into home
Meeting on Hinge in 2021 could have been a passing moment.
Instead, it became a steady, rooted kind of love—one that looks like showing up, choosing each other, building a life that feels safe and light at once.
the proposal—jamaica, sunset, and a new chapter
Tyler proposed in Jamaica at sunset, when the sky turned soft and glowing and time seemed to slow down.
It was intimate, heartfelt, and entirely “them”—the kind of moment you can feel in your chest even years later.
a venue that feels like coming home
Camp Lindenmere isn't your typical wedding venue, and that's exactly why it works so beautifully for couples looking for something different.
Nestled in the heart of the Pocono Mountains, this unique wedding venue in PA offers everything from rustic stone buildings to open-air ceremony spaces overlooking the water. For Samantha and Tyler, it was the perfect canvas for their summer camp-themed celebration, a nod to carefree childhood summers, s'mores by the fire, and the kind of joy that only happens when you're surrounded by the people who matter most.
The 200-acre property meant they could spread out. Guests explored. They laughed. They reconnected in a way that felt natural and unhurried, exactly what a wedding day should be.
the magic of a summer camp theme
When we say Samantha and Tyler leaned into the summer camp vibe, we mean it wholeheartedly.
The design felt considered yet lighthearted—camp-inspired details, easy laughter, and a sense that everyone was in on the same wonderful weekend. It was playful, but never gimmicky; polished, but never stiff.
a day full of authentic moments
The heart of this day lived in the in-between moments.
A deep breath before the first look. A hand finding a hand. A smile that said, “we’re really here.”
Camp Lindenmere made it effortless to stay present—woods everywhere, warm light filtering through the trees, and a whimsical summer camp setting that invited guests to relax, reconnect, and celebrate with genuine joy.
celebrating two years and many more to come
Two years in—and we couldn’t be happier for you both.
Samantha and Tyler, congratulations from the bottom of our hearts. May your marriage continue to be filled with steadiness, laughter, and the kind of love that feels like home.
We hope you’re opening your album and remembering the forest light, the lake air, the easy joy of a camp weekend made elegant. This is why we do what we do—so your memories stay close, and your legacy has a place to live.
