Being your wedding photographer means being a part of something greater than the day of, we are documenting moments for you to have and to hold, forever. When you hire us, you join our family, and we join yours as you embark on life's greatest adventure yet.
We are there for you when mom looks on to see her little girl all grown up. We capture the tear jerking moments when you recite your vows. We are even there when grandma and grandpa share their sweet dance moves with the world at the reception! These are the moments we live to share. It is a privilege and honor to be your wedding photographers.
MORE THAN JUST PHOTOGRAPHY. WE CAPTURE LIFE, LOVE AND JOY. THE MEMORIES YOU CREATE DESERVE MORE THAN JUST A PLACE IN YOUR CAMERA ROLL SO WE DEDICATE OURSELVES TO PRESERVING THEM WITH REFINEMENT, AND BEAUTY IN EVERY IMAGE.
01. WE UNDERSTAND MARRIAGES
Hiring a husband and wife team provides the unique understanding of love that only marriage can bring. We have shared in those same feelings of angst and excitement leading up to the big day so we dedicate ourselves into making your wedding even more amazing! This allows us to approach your wedding with experience and passion to capture moments that you can cherish for years to come!
02. BUILT IN SECOND SHOOTER
Hiring a full-time husband and wife team provides you with a built in second shooter. Often times, when a couple hires a photographer without a dedicated second shooter, they don't get the opportunity to meet the second photographer until the day of their wedding. When hiring a husband and wife team you meet both of your photographers and build a relationship from the moment you first meet.
03. DOUBLE DATES
Hiring a husband and wife team creates an atmosphere of friendship every step of the way! Your engagement session seems more like a double date instead of a photo session and meetings feel more like lunch with friends!
04. TWO PERSPECTIVES
As a husband and wife team we bring our own strengths to every wedding. We can both manage a wedding individually so together our talents allow us to become even more creative! One of us may focus on the finer details while the other directs their attention to the bigger picture. This creates imagery that is unique, timeless and beautiful!
05. FULLY DEDICATED
As husband and wife, we are in this together full-time. Our passion has budded into a full time career because we devoted the necessary time and energy into making sure our couples get the experience and creativity they deserve. You are getting two professional photographers for the price of one! That saves you money and provides you with peace of mind that your image quality will remain consistent throughout every step of the wedding!
