We often find it hard to explain exactly what it is about us that will resonate most with each couple—but at our core, we simply want to serve others. We’re here to cut through the little redundancies that so many photographers and videographers buy into. For example: you're not getting married for our Instagram feed.
Yes, beautiful photos and films matter (that’s why you’re here, right?), but your story, the real one, isn’t meant to fit into a curated box. It’s meant to exist fully within who you two are together. And we’ll be there to capture all of it. Every little detail.
So how did two bodybuilders that stumbled into their very own whirlwind love story land on your search bar for the perfect wedding photography /videography duo? Because we believe all love stories matter and all love deserves to be captured as a piece of living, breathing art.
We want you to remember the way your lover’s hair moved in the wind as you read your vows. The way your father cried during your first, and last, dance on the reception floor. The smile lines in your reflection that take you straight back to your mother on her wedding day, just like in those old photo albums you’ve flipped through countless times.
Life is beautiful and impossibly fragile. It can change in a blink. This is our way of stopping time, for just a breath, so you can hold onto it forever.
The weight of our work can be heavy, knowing that a fleeting moment we’ve captured may end up being someone’s last. But we wouldn’t trade this calling for anything.
Storytellers that believe all love matters.

The truth is you're investing in something that will last a lifetime.
"From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot recommend Megan, Alec, and the entire Beyond the Pines team enough.
They were the very first vendor we booked, and we had the joy of working with them throughout our entire two-year engagement. What they provide goes far beyond photography and videography — they became trusted partners in our planning journey."

"Beyond amazing. Megan & Alec are incredibly caring & talented visionaries.
Alec & Megan became trusted partners in our planning journey. Their expert advice, thoughtful guidance, and unwavering support were invaluable every step of the way. Their thoughtful approach made all the difference, and by the time our wedding day arrived, it felt like we were being supported by dear friends rather than hired professionals."
