Love people. Love, love.
you're the reason we're here
storytelling is our passion and there is nothing better than a real life love story.
We kick things off with an intro call over Zoom. Meeting you face-to-face and hearing about how you met, the proposal, and your wedding plans special is our favorite part. This gives us a chance to talk through our background and approach, as well as answer any questions you may have.
We build the perfect wedding photography and videography package for your most magical day. All packages start with an 8-hour base that we add onto to meet your unique needs. Think additional shooters, extra hours, engagement photos, albums and prints, etc.
All parties sign a contract and you'll pay a retainer. This locks us all in. We won't ever book same services for another wedding on your date, we promise.
Be on the lookout for some goodies in the mail! Yes, that's right. Your wedding might not be for a little while but that doesn't mean we can't get a head start on the celebrations. We want you to enjoy every moment of this journey and know how excited we are to be on it with you.
It's wedding day! We're there for you all day, capturing every moment and soaking up the love.
You'll receive a photo and video teaser within the first week. It took you months to plan the perfect day and you deserve to share it with the world asap!
The full gallery and final cut video is delivered within two and a half months! Feel free to share with friends and family as you'd like. Prints and albums will be available for purchase at this time from right within your gallery.
The canvas is hanging on your wall, framed prints displayed on your bedside table, and your custom heirloom album rests on your coffee table. Breathe in the memories and smile at what you created.

wedding planning is intimidating?!
Of course! Is there anything better than a destination wedding? We love to travel and structure our USA/Canadian full-day packages so that travel is already included in the price. We hold American and Canadian passports and are always happy to go international. Destination weddings and elopement quotes are determined based on region and without added hidden. We like to make our packages all-inclusive, so you don't have to worry about any surprises!
Do you shoot destination weddings?
We're always happy to bring additional shooters along. Let's be sure to chat about your needs well in advance so we know whether or not it makes sense to have additional hands (and if so, how many).
What about additional shooters?
can i extend coverage?
Absolutely. You can add coverage on at any time.
Can we book just one service?
Definitely reach out. We try to keep our available dates reserved for clients who are interested in both services but we do book services independently on a case-by-case basis.
how long do we have to wait before our full package is delivered?
We'll have your full photo/video package delivered within two and a half months of your wedding. Engagement packages are delivered within one month. We always provide a teaser within the first week of shooting, no matter the event.
do you watermark your content?
Nope. We're big believers in you enjoying your photos and video without our names attached. That said, we do ask that you credit us when you're sharing online. :)
can we see raw photos and video footage?
We get this question a lot! Your final wedding package includes photos and video footage that have been digitally processed to improve light, contrast, sharpness, color, and sound. Wedding clients may also choose to include straight shot footage of their ceremony, speeches, and first dances that has been lightly edited for color and sound. We do not provide raw images and footage.
what rights do i get to my photos and video?
We provide all of our clients with printing and personal sharing rights. iI you'd like to have your photos or video used commercially or for profit, just let us know! We'll build that into your package. Please be aware that this may incur additional charges.
