We are a husband and wife team living the legacy of one of the greatest and most selfless men we ever knew. Whitman's Wish Photography is in honor of our uncle, Dave Whitman, and the amazing life he lived. He, too, shared our love for photography
and the desire to capture natural and timeless memories for
those around him.
We took photography beyond a hobby back in 2015 and went on a journey to learn technique and gain experience to provide others with with memorable, and affordable, experiences that hopefully keeps them coming back for every milestone/achievement. Our passion goes beyond the images themselves but rather providing an experience where you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful, all while having fun!

Melissa
I am the lead photographer and point of contact when inquiring about shoots and booking.
I am also the content creator, website designer, and blog writer.
Matt
I am the editor for the company; I'm the man behind the computer. But you'll also find me at certain shoots/events as a second-shooter or catching the action on the sidelines of a sporting event.
Who we are outside of photography
We've been together since 2006 and married since 2009. We moved to the York, PA area shortly after getting married and have since had two beautiful children, Madilyn and Owen. We also get spoiled with love, and fur, from our cats Allie and Cru.
When we aren't at shoots, we are keeping up with our two kids and their activities or working on our house inside and out. We both love being outside any chance we get and keeping busy!
