Our Approach to Storytelling
This is the next chapter of your story together, and though it may be the most exciting one yet, it certainly isn't the beginning. We want to honor and create space for the journey and history woven into the very fiber of your relationship and dive deep into what has brought you together. We firmly believe that who you are, the life you are building, and the things that you love matter and are worth celebrating and capturing for forever.
Our goal as we document moments is to simply allow them to unfold, to create space for you to be your truest selves, and to give you the opportunity to be fully present to take it all in. We want the moments we capture to be real and honest, yet striking and beautiful so the way we approach shooting tends to be more documentary and candid with an eye for moments rather than poses. More than anything we want for you to be immersed in the love around you and to fully enjoy every last drop of joy and togetherness.

our process
how it works
We love getting to chat over zoom to meet you both and hear about the journey that has brought you to this point as well as your vision and what is most important to you on your wedding day.
Let's Chat
After our call we will send over a personalized contract and invoice. Once we have your signed contract and 30% paid retainer we are all yours!
We Make Things OfficIal
Keep in Touch
We are available to you as much or as little as you need leading up to the big day! If you have a story or engagement session included in your collection or live nearby we love getting to hang out and meet up in real life!
Happily Ever After
We show up, hype you up, and capture all of the magic and memories of your wedding experience so you can soak it all in. You can expect sneak peeks within a week of the wedding and then full gallery delivery within our contracted delivery timeframe.
STORY SESSIONS
Capturing who you are in the small moments, Not just the big ones
Your relationship goes far beyond the one day that you say 'I DO' and your story started long before your wedding day. We want to capture a glimpse into the journey. To see and capture the beauty of the life you are building together in this season of engagement. To show what real life together looks and feels like when you aren't front and center. Story sessions give us space and time to do that in a stress free environment with connection and intention at the forefront. So let's grab a drink, get to know each other, and take a moment to enjoy and reflect on how special it is that you have found your forever.
We want to capture your Saturday morning coffee together, the walk you take around your neighborhood, spend some time playing with your dogs. Let's go to the spot you first met or where they got down on one knee. We want to tag along to your favorite cocktail bar, date night, or take stroll around the city you call home. Maybe we travel to find some epic views and explore your destination. Let's make dinner with your grandparents or head to your cabin up north and splash in the lake at sunset. Whatever it is we want to capture the places, people, and things that make you who you are!
The Photos are ABOUT THE DAY, THE DAY IS NOT ABOUT THE PHOTOS
This is the best day of your life not just a day of content creation and it should be treated as such. Likely not everything will go according to plan, and we truly prefer it that way. Outside of dedicated portrait time we aim to be as unobtrusive as possible so your day unfolds organically. We want you to spend time with your people, drink with your friends, laugh and cry together rather than spend hours trying to get the perfect shot. Our biggest marker of success is that you were able to be fully present, completely yourselves, and you have a beautiful documentation of the all the big and small moments to look back on with fondness for years to come.
Present Over
Perfect
invest in the moment
Short answer, no. There are both creative and legal reasons for this, but we strongly believe it is for the best. We only use licensed music in our films and spend hours to days finding the right music to fit your wedding day and your story.
CAN WE CHOOSE OUR OWN MUSIC FOR OUR WEDDING FILM?
YES! We believe that audio is the biggest thing that sets video apart from photos. Whenever there will be a situation that could have audio that tells a story we will make sure that we are prepared to capture it. When we begin editing we sort through the best of the best audio moments to map out a cohesive, meaningful story and build the film around that.
WILL OUR VOWS OR SPEECHES BE IN OUR FILM?
As long as our schedule allows for it, ABSOLUTELY. We have a collection specifically tailored for wedding weekends so we don't miss out on any of the fun you have planned for you and your people!
We're Planning a Full Weekend Experience, Can you be there for all of it?
Our typical turnaround time for films is between 3-4 months. Photos are typically returned in 10 weeks or less. In busier seasons (especially late summer through the holidays) our delivery times tend to be on the longer side. We aim to have a teaser and sneak peeks to you within the week of the wedding!
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR OUR FILM AND PHOTOS TO BE COMPLETED?
We absolutely travel! One of our favorite parts of our job is getting to celebrate and document love in epic places. We will estimate and include travel expenses in the pricing that you see or let you know what our flat rate for travel to your destination will be up front so there aren't any hidden fees!
DO YOU TRAVEL? WHAT ABOUT TRAVEL EXPENSES?
HELL YES! We hate that we have to even put this on here! Love is love and we believe it deserves to be documented beautifully. You deserve to have vendors who will celebrate the hell out of you and make you feel at ease on your best day ever.
DO YOU CAPTURE LGBTQ+ WEDDINGS?
FAQ
Do You offer a discount if we book Both PhotO and Video?
Yes! If you choose to have us for both services we offer a discount of 10% off of your total collection!
We already have a Photographer, Can We still Have you for Video?
Of course! Video is our bread and butter and first love, about half of our weddings each year are video only. We love working alongside other talented photographers and always do our best to collaborate to provide the best experience for you!
