THE EXPERIENCE

We will be with you through it all, from the very start and long after

guiding you through the next chapter of your story

Choosing us as your wedding day team is like going on a double date with your best friends. 

We are there to celebrate one of life's greatest moments with you as your favorite third and fourth wheels. No really, we will tear up that dance floor with you, hold your bouquet when you need us to and of course finish off the night shooting tequila shots with you and your lover. 

We think there is a time and place for posed portraits but it surely is not on your wedding day. We are going to cut the bullshit and capture your unrehearsed moments. The in-between glimpses into your most special day that you don't even realize are happening.

LET'S DO THIS

OUR

process

BOOK WITH US

I take a very non-traditional approach to preserving your memories. Photography to me is more than just the posed/smile at the camera shots that don’t hold a lot of meaning. And if you love those, that’s great, but that just means I may not be for you. Instead of asking you to do a bunch of cheesy things that I just don’t vibe with, I will have you interacting and playing together, laughing until your cheeks hurt, and of course loving on one another in the most beautiful way as if I wasn’t even there. My style of narrative photography really focuses on real moments that only you can create. There is no reenactment or script. From the moment we start working together, I'm invested in getting to know the two of you & who you truly are.  I will immerse myself into your story, so that I can ensure every image reflects the genuine beauty of your relationship.  I am here to capture your day authentically as it unfolds, while also giving you guidance when needed, & not forcing moments that aren't truly happening.

THE PHOTO EXPERIENCE

THE VIDEO EXPERIENCE

Walking into your wedding day as your friend, & not just another person behind a camera, allows me to capture something far deeper than a highlight reel, It lets me tell your story. This film isn’t about social media likes or followers. It’s about the heart of your day, the next chapter of your love story. On your wedding day, you’ll be sharing the most intimate, unfiltered moments of your life, and my purpose is to capture them as authentically as you live them.

The best moments in life are the ones we least expect.
They’re the ones you never see coming; the unscripted embraces, the unguarded laughter, the unexpected tears, the fleeting glances that speak volumes. Those are the moments that define your day, and that’s what I aim to preserve. The raw, real emotion. Not the polished, choreographed moments we see on the big screen, but the heart-stopping joy, the deep belly laughs, the quiet, tender pauses that make your love unique.  

When you look back 20 years from now, I want your wedding film to transport you; not just to how your day looked, but to how it felt. I want you to relive the joy, the nerves, the passion, every emotion that made your day unforgettable, as if it were happening all over again.

 We are so ready to book you, how do we do it? 

How long until we receive our images/films?

Do you offer RAW files?

What happens if you are sick or cannot shoot our wedding/session?

 Do you travel?

Can you photoshop us?

Here’s the thing; we are the kind of creative team that loves the version of you that you truly are, so in short, no. Longer answer; we adjust all of our images and films for exposure balance, color correction, minimal white balance adjustments and of course some retouching (acne, bruises, temporary scratches...) to create our artistic style you see on our site as well as our social media pages.  Trust us when we say, we get the best angles and deliver the best images from your wedding or session so photoshop extras are not needed.  But if we have to take out a trash can in the back, we totally will.
