| a quick hello |
Thank you for inquiring for more information on our wedding experience. We truly love what we do and we are so glad that spoke to you through our work. Over the last seven years, we have had the pleasure of capturing beautiful wedding days all across the globe and we can’t wait to continue on with our current and prospecting couples. Our couples come first so all of our other photography sessions are scheduled around our wedding dates. We only book a small number of weddings each year so that we can focus on each couple and the unique day they are planning.
We hope we get the pleasure of working with you!

Additional travel fees may apply depending on location. Pricing is subject to change at any time and without notice.
Our Philosophy
We believe that images should be natural, romantic and timeless. Our main goal is to capture your love story and the events of your wedding day in as natural a way as possible so that your emotions are pure and real. We have a very simplistic approach to our posing since we have you focus more on each other than our cameras. Our editing style is designed to match classic film so that your images remain timeless as the years pass.
The Booking Process
After we have had our initial phone call and we all believe this is a good match, we will email a link to our digital contract as well as the Square invoice. 50% of the package investment is due as an initial deposit retainer fee to reserve your wedding date. The remainder of the investment is due two months prior to the wedding date.
Engagements
We are more than willing to travel for engagement sessions! We actually love it when our couples ask us to photograph them in a location that means something special to them! But, if you didn’t already have something in mind, we have various tried and true spots for the wild at heart and the concrete jungle lovers! If you are dreaming up a destination engagement session, let us know and we are happy to help nail down a location. We book engagement sessions 2-6 months in advance. If a location you have in mind has permitting fees for photography sessions, that would be covered by you but we will submit the form for the permit.

Digital Files
We average 50-100 edited images per hour that we shoot. We select the best digital images from the wedding day and edit them in both color as well as black and white. Any film scans we receive back will be uploaded to the gallery in the format and coloration they were captured in (ex: black and white images only if shot on black and white film or color images only if shot on color film). We love delivering our client’s files quickly and easily via an online gallery. You will have the ability to print, share and download your images as much as you want. We believe in freely sharing our work because that is what we would want if we were in your shoes! We only ask that you and your friends/family credit us when sharing images on social media.
Prints & Albums
We offer a wide variety of printing options within each gallery. When you are ready to build a custom album for yourself and/or your loved ones, we will set up a meeting to customize it to your specifications.
Professionalism & Our Track Record
We hold a high respect for wedding days. Most likely, we will be dressed in black or neutral tones. Our clothing is always comfortable, functional and professional to keep us moving throughout the many hours of your big day while blending in with your guests. We are efficient and effective in our work to guarantee a beautiful gallery of images to remember the best day of your lives. We love when other vendors appreciate working as a team to curate a brilliant event, which is why we provide a list of our preferred vendors that have proven to hold that same ideal. Every review we have received from brides, their loved ones and their vendors has been glowing and detailed—warming our hearts while proving our trustworthiness when it comes to capturing renowned events.
Coverage Time
If you are concerned that the coverage time listed won’t be enough to cover your wedding day, we are happy to sketch out a rough timeline with you. About two months prior to the wedding day, we will sit down for a final planning meeting where we will go over your final timeline. If for some reason you end up needing more time with us because your original plans have changed, we can add additional hours to your time with us by adding the fees per hour to your final invoice. We are very up front with our couples about if we think they need more time or not and always aim to create a wedding flow that does not need the additional time. We want to make sure everything important is captured before we leave—from the bride stepping into her dress to some killer dance moves. If for some reason you need more time with us on the wedding day, in the case you had a holdup that pushed the timeline back or for any other reason, we are happy to stay longer. In that circumstance, we will take a payment for the additional coverage time prior to leaving via Square. Wedding days are blocked off from all other sessions so we are available for additional time just in case plans change! Due to our awesome timeline planning and time management on the wedding day, we have yet to have a couple add additional time day of!
Each additional hour of coverage is $550
Our Shooting Style
We love being both interactive and discreet throughout the wedding day. There will be parts of the wedding day when we will need to be in control in order to accomplish everything that needs to be done while staying on schedule. There will also be moments when you won't even notice that we are there. We teach our couples how to pose, model and interact during their engagement session so they are naturals on the wedding day and don’t need quite as much instruction from us! We always love utilizing the venue you have chosen so we will make sure your personal couple portraits are unique! We can describe our style in three simple words: Dreamy, Romantic, Timeless. Dreamy because we capture our work in a very light and airy fashion. While we still love a moody shot every now and then, our main work consistency conveys a dream-like charm. Romantic because we love having our clients interact with one another in a more candid fashion while they are posed in an intimate stance. The knowing smiles and scrunched noses from giddy giggles are our favorite element to capture. Timeless because our work is classic and elegant, two things that will stay in style for eternity. We love shooting film photography as well as digital photography so we do our best to match our digital work to our film work. Film is timeless, with it's soft coloration and beautiful textures, emulating the essence of forever.
