First you were best friends, now you are planning a life together. We are at your service to make sure your wedding is that much more special, documenting sweet memories for you to remember for the rest of your lives. Our passion is found in telling love stories, from the fine details to the candid moments you may have missed from your crowning achievement as newlyweds, and preserving them timelessly and elegantly.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been enthralled with the art of storytelling. Books, movies, songs, and even old pictures have helped me better understand the emotions that I would otherwise struggle to articulate. My mother helped fan the flames of my passion for stories from a young age. As her movie collection grew, I found myself memorized by the most minor details that made up my favorite and beloved films.
And, although I didn’t grow up to be in the movie industry, I still get to sit in the director's seat as the storyteller of the most romantic celebrations of love. And photography has opened that door for me. Each time we engage with our couples I wonder how the stories we preserve through photo will shape the lives of their friends and family across the generations. So, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for making my storytelling heart so full.
"the STORYTELLER"
Hi there, friend! I’m Sasha, and I’m honored to be the other half of your photography team. Ever since I was young, I was known as the class artist. I guess you could say I have always been gifted in the arts. Whether it was drawing, painting, ceramics, or printmaking - I love it all! But of all the creative mediums I’ve dabbled with, photography has always captured my heart the most. In 6th grade, a special teacher recognized my passion and commissioned my first painting. He also encouraged me to take photos for the school yearbook—a pivotal moment that sparked my dream to pursue the arts as a career.
Today, there’s nothing I love more than working with couples on one of the happiest days of their lives. It fills my heart to connect with people and getting to hear their stories so they can be passed onto the next generation. It means the world, and I can’t wait to play a part in documenting one of the biggest celebrations of your lives!
