I have always been a creative soul and a free spirit. When I met my husband, Michael, I picked up a camera and was hooked. I have been a professional photographer & Co-Owner of ShadowCatcher Photography, LLC, ever since. Because of my love of photographing weddings, I always wanted to become more involved in the wedding ceremony itself. I wanted to incorporate more of what I love…writing. That’s when I decided it was time to become a wedding officiant to write beautiful ceremonies for other couples.
I was initially ordained in 2011 by the Universal Life Church Ministry. I continued my education to become an ordained Rabbi in June 2013 with American Marriage Ministries and am always continuing my education. In February 2024, I received my CPWO - Certified Professional Wedding Officiant through The International Association of Wedding Officiants (IAPWO). I recently received my Wedding and Event Planner and Designer Certification through the Wedding MBA – Wedding Merchant Business Academy. I am also a Paralegal at Lehman Law, PC, author of “From Mistakes To Miracles, and a motivational/inspirational

Everything you could ever want in an officiant
/ Maurice & Michael“Lori not only exceeded our expectations, but she brought our guests & us to tears with her beautiful ceremony. Being a same-sex couple, finding the perfect officiant was very important to us. Lori made us feel special and welcomed, and she was able to perfectly capture our story, values, and love for each other. With her artistic writing, unique personality, and even random check-ins after marriage, I don’t think you’ll ever find anyone better."
Lori exceeded our expectations
/ Valerie & Samantha“I knew I had to have Lori officiate our wedding during our initial Zoom call when she stated, “I’m not for everybody.” Lori is who she is and will not compromise that for anyone – which I LOVE. Her style isn’t school-kid giddy, so if that’s what you’re looking for in an officiant, book elsewhere. Lori is thorough, timely, professional, and creative. She’s kind-hearted, and her passion for what she does shines through during her ceremonies..."
Lori is who she is and will not compromise herself
/ Kristen & Frank“When my husband proposed, there was really only one option for whom I wanted to officiate, Lori Prashker-Thomas. Lori and I grew up together many moons ago. In fact, she even lived with me over the summer one year. Lori created an incredibly personal and customized ceremony and worked collaboratively with us to make sure we aligned at every stage of the process..."
Someone who cares deeply about their couples
