we like different
we’ve been to + documented hundreds and hundreds of weddings.
at this point we know what we like + what lights us up as artists in order to do our very best work.
read through our approach + if it resonates with you, it’s time to contact us.
we wanna hear what you have planned.
-
we’re gonna spend a lot of time together so we have to make sure that we’re a good fit for each other -working with us should feel right to you
-
from 6 hours to multi-day wedding photography coverage + 35mm film + engagement shoots + Super 8 videos + custom timeline design
-
you’ll get our signature film-meets-documentary approach from a married team that have photographed 300+ weddings all over the country & world. we have the fine art eye AND the experience to handle anything your day throws at us
-
our style is all about real moments. we hate cheesy, dated shit that everyone has been doing for decades. we’re not going to set your hands up in the exact right place, or fix your dress to lay perfectly on the ground. we are heavily focused on capturing the soul of your wedding. if you want cool, easy, artistic photos that tell your true story, you just focus on being present that day + we’ll do our thing
if we had to describe our style in 3 words, it would be editorial, documentary + honest
-
there’s nothing we love more than when our couples have a totally out-of-the-box wedding that feels like them. not a step and repeat, cookie cutter day that’s dictated by the wedding industry, “you have to do this and that” or include traditions that don’t mean anything to you. this is YOUR day and it should be exactly what you want it to be
-
we are super serious about backing up your memories. we back up as we’re shooting to a 2nd card in our cameras, we also back up to our sever, a working hard drive, another hard drive that goes in a fireproof safe, and everything is backed up in the cloud. that’s about it. everything else we try not to take too seriously - it’s a party to celebrate love after all!
-
we don’t need much from you to photograph your wedding in our signature cool, yet lived in style.
a signed contract and a 40% retainer secure your date. We have 1 questionnaire you fill out a few months before your wedding so we have all the details we need. we’ll work with you and or your planner on a timeline to ensure we’re prepared. photos delivered within 8 weeks.
we’ve worn many different hats at weddings for a long time so we know what its like from multiple perspectives. from venues to video teams to planners, we’re constantly told how easy we are to work with.
experience
-
we want to meet you and hear about what you’re looking for in a photographer. we’ll ask about your priorities, what you have planned and how you want to feel during your wedding and when you’re looking back at your photos afterwards.
we’re gonna spend a lot of time together, so let’s get the first date out of the way.
-
after your call, we’ll send you a recap of everything we went over & a link to your electronic contract.
sign it + pay your 40% retainer & the date is yours.
-
we include a couples shoot in all of our packages because it truly helps you be more present on your wedding day. you’ll know how we work and what its like to be in front of our cameras & we’ll know how to bring out the real you.
we start by asking you what your ideal day off together is and design your shoot around that. by the end of it, you won't even notice the cameras and we’ll feel like old friends.
-
About a month before your wedding, we'll work with you (and your planner, if you have one) to build a photography timeline that makes sure we capture everything important without making you feel like you're on a schedule. We've done this 300+ times & we know how to make the most of your time without making your day about the photos. we want you to enjoy your wedding & we can do that without taking you away from it.
-
we show up, we blend in, give you direction when we need to and do our thing. you focus on being present.
-
your fully edited gallery will be delivered within 8 weeks (faster with priority editing). Film scans are included with your digital gallery. Every image is individually edited. No batch processing, no presets slapped across the board & no A.I.

nope. you’re hiring us for the final product, a beautiful ready to view fully edited gallery that you can jump right into and immediately relive all the fun, amazing moments from your wedding. RAW files are basically the equivalent to the ingredients for an elaborate meal. while the food is still the same as what a chef would prepare, you probably won’t have a good idea of how to even begin preparing it to be the same. don’t worry, we’ll give you every photo worth delivering and edit every photo we deliver to you
