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

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 initial inquiry I will be sending you questionnaires, emails and texts full of GIFS + plenty of F bombs I am sure, so that I can get to know you more and connect with you long before your session or wedding ever takes place.

THE VIDEO EXPERIENCE

Walking into your wedding day as your friend and not just another guy with a video camera, helps me create a one of a kind, totally curated to you story. This is not just a social media follower gain film for me, this is your love, your day, and your next chapter. As a couple you will be sharing your most vulnerable moments, and capturing them as well as you share them is my WHY. Fake and forced interactions are only for the BIG SCREEN, those aren't the real heart stopping sobs and insane belly laughs like your wedding day will produce.  

The best moments in life are the ones we least expect. The candid, raw and riveting. I want to share how your day feels and not just how it looked.  
When you look back 20 years from now I want you to feel the emotions as if they were happening in that moment all over again.

"THIS MEANS THE WORLD TO US"

This is nuts, Beyond the Pines Photography you absolutely crushed this. I won’t ever be able to elaborate what this film means to me and to us. We’ll have these moments forever. Thank you a million times.

 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.
