Hi, I'm Tai Sophia Petrofsky.
I'm a wedding photographer—but more than that, I'm a wife, a mom of two, and someone who’s been right where you are.
I remember planning my own wedding… feeling all the joy and anticipation, but also the pressure of wanting to capture it all perfectly. I wasn’t quite sure what I was doing or who to trust—just that the photos would be the thing I’d treasure most once the day was over.
That’s why I do what I do now.
With a bright, bold, and timeless style, I’m here to help you remember your day exactly as it felt—full of light, laughter, and love. I bring a joyful, relaxed presence to every wedding, so you can soak in every moment, knowing it’s all being beautifully captured.
I’d love to hop on a video call with you—or meet for coffee if you’re nearby.
Tell me how you met, what made you fall in love, what you treasure most about each other, and what you're dreaming up for your wedding day. I’d be honored to hear your story and help bring your vision to life.
And then, maybe I’ll tell you a little about mine.
I do photography not just because I love the art of it (though I truly do), but because today—the one you're planning so carefully—is a day you’ll never get back. Except in your memories.
Photos are time capsules. They preserve the little things: the quiet glances, the laughter, the way you felt in each fleeting moment.
And when you open that album again? The memories come rushing back. Maybe even the tears.
I take that responsibility seriously—because your moments matter. And my hope is to bring a peaceful presence to your day, while turning it all into art you’ll cherish forever.
When you've walked through the sacred moments of your life, you don't fully realize how precious and fleeting they really are until you're looking back. Soak them in. Don't let them slip away.
I didn’t grow up with a lot of things—no fancy house, no exotic vacations—but what I did have was love. My family made ordinary moments feel special. They valued time together, making memories, and being present far more than buying more stuff.
Photos were a big part of our lives. My parents took tons of them, and some of my favorite memories are of us gathered around, flipping through page after page of photo albums, reliving the moments that shaped us.
Looking back, I think that love for remembering—really remembering—is a big reason I do what I do today. It’s why prints and albums mean so much to me. They’re not just pictures... they’re invitations to slow down, to remember, and to feel it all over again.
I can't wait for you to get to do that yourself with the memories we capture together!
Fast Facts About Me:
Where do I live?
In the beautiful mountains of Northern PA! The cute town of Wellsboro, to be exact. About an hour north of Williamsport. It is home to the PA Grand Canyon, which many couples have embraced as a stunning elopement location - and I'm here for it!!
What's My Favorite Camera?
Oh, gee - that's a trick question. I started with Nikon, moved to Canon, and then made the switch to Fujifilm because of the more film-camera-like aesthetic...and because it's mirrorless.
How Long Have I Been taking photos?
I first picked up a film camera at age 14, and started my journey with nature photos as I enjoyed watching butterflies in the fields, and flowers bursting into bloom. Once I had children, I began taking more photos to capture their adorable baby fingers and toes. But I finally began offering my services professionally in 2018, after realizing the immense joy I get from capturing cherished memories for other people as well.
Now, Here are some other things I love...
Cozy blankets and (gasp!) sleeping with my socks on.
For blankets, the fuzzier the better. And chunky knit? Yes please!
Also...I apparently have odd feet, that are always cold. I was once part of a class, and when the "ice-breaker" question of "who wears socks to bed" was posed, I was literally the ONLY one to raise my hand. What can I say? I've always been one to stand out from the crowd.
Watercolor painting and pottery.
I have adored art from the time I was a small child, but it was really only in the past 10 years or so that I've discovered a love for watercolor art - I've even gotten to teach a few classes on it! I also got to take a pottery class in my young 20's, and ADORED it. I made everyone cups that year for Christmas. I even ventured into making a teapot, which, let me tell you, was QUITE the challenge.
Dates with my husband (who also happens to be my BFF).
We've always been pretty low-key with our date nights, and since having kids, we've really learned how to enjoy all the little things. Trip to town together to grab coffee at the local coffee shop? DATE!! Hanging out after the kids go to bed, to play Tiny Epic Galaxies, or another one of our top game choices? DATE!! (We are big game people!)
Meaningful conversation with friends... especially if it includes coffee.
I'm an introvert by nature, and contrary to popular belief, this does NOT mean I don't like hanging out with people! But it DOES mean that I prefer hanging out one-on-one more than group settings. And it also means you aren't getting small-talk from me. I'm pretty much an open book, and I thrive on meaningful connection.
Want to Get to Know Me Better?
I'd love to get to know you better too! Let's schedule a video chat (or, if you're local, we can grab coffee together)! We can talk about your vision for recording your milestones as a couple, or your wedding day dreams. I want to know what makes you unique, and hear about the things you love, so I can more accurately represent YOU through the images I capture for you.

We had been wanting 30 year anniversary pictures for 3 years and with all the crazy in the world, it just did not happen. Tai knew our desire and made it happen. She found the perfect location, put us at perfect ease and honestly enabled me personally to feel like I wasn’t the ugly person I saw myself as. I was stunned at the images she got back to us. We cherish them and the memory of making them. We had so much fun during our session!

Tai is an absolute pleasure to work with. It has felt like such a breeze working with her, from our very first introductory zoom call, to coordinating back and forth over email/text, to our engagement shoot, to most recently our wedding. She is organized and quick with her communication. Most importantly, her photos are absolutely gorgeous! I appreciated her balance of being a fly on the wall to also being assertive and directive in trying different poses/techniques to get those perfect shots. Thanks to Tai, we have so many beautiful and timeless photos that captured our love and our family & friends that we will be able to enjoy for the rest of our lives and share with future generations. I highly recommend choosing Tai for your wedding photography.

Tai was absolutely amazing! She was exceptionally helpful with the planning process which helped put me at ease before my wedding. My husband and I chose to not do engagement photos, so I was a little nervous about how everything would go (neither of us are big on having our photos taken). However, her professionalism and calming presence put us at ease.
Most importantly, her pictures were more than I could ask for. She had a great eye for capturing special moments throughout the night, and I'm so happy she was able to capture all the joy and love throughout the evening.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!
