Weddings make my heart so happy. I love documenting all of the important moments throughout your love story. From our first meeting to your wedding day, I’m honored to be a part of this experience.
After more than 10 years in this small business and photographing over 100 weddings, weddings are still my favorite! I love how I have the experience from years of being a wedding photographer, but still approach each wedding with the excitement like it’s my first one. There’s just something special about weddings that make my heart smile!
While the pretty details will always hold a special place in my heart, my favorite parts of the day are the non-scripted ones. I always gush when I see my bride put on her dress and see her best friends’ reactions! I am smitten when my bride and groom write their own personal vows to exchange during the ceremony. I am almost guaranteed to shed a few tears. I enjoy watching the family break down their funky dance moves on the reception floor (and occasionally join in myself). Weddings never lose their charm for me.
Being able to encourage my couples in this experience and support them along the way, is my favorite! I will never take this responsibility lightly! It is an extreme honor to be a part of such a significant time in your life!
What makes us the photographers for you?
Quick turnaround
A sneak peek gallery within 24 hours of your big day! Say what?! Plus, the full wedding gallery within 4 weeks!
experience
With over 12 years of photographing weddings, we have learned a lot! We will use that knowledge, professionalism, and understanding to take care of you on such an important day! All you have to do is take it all in! 🙂
Tailor-made for you
Weddings are not a “one-size-fits-all” thing. Some wedding days need 8-10 hours of coverage and multiple photographers. Other wedding days need 6 hours of coverage and one photographer. And some weddings might just need a couple of hours for an intimate ceremony and portraits. Whatever you have dreamed of your day being, we are here to cover it for you!
our approach
We know there is a time and place for different photography techniques. During the personal moments we take more of a “fly on the wall” approach, but for family formals we have a “take charge and get things done” vibe. In a respectful way, of course. 😉 Our style is creative and artistic, but also traditional and practical when need be. We read the vibes and take our lead from there. 🙂
Planning Help
For your engagement sessions, we help you pick a location that is special to you and help you find outfits that will best compliment you for photos. We help create custom wedding-day photo timelines that fit seamlessly with your venue/planner. And with our industry experience, we enhance your wedding day by maximizing your photo opportunities.
we’re here for you!
Our couples mean the world to us and become family by the end! We are just as excited about your big day as you are and want to make it the best day ever! We will put you at ease and cheer you on through this experience! Think of us as your personal hype girls! 😉
