About

It's super nice to meet you. Our names are John and Sam, we've been in the wedding photo/video industry since 2009 with a combined 200+ weddings behind us, and we love the work we get to do. Our style is candid, intimate and light because we believe in the natural beauty of a couple on their wedding day. We are comfortable to give guidance and direction if you need it, but really believe in the organic in-and-out-breath of a wedding day. The flow that you create when your best friends, families, and loved ones surround you with joy... it's a good thing.
Thanks for considering us to capture it all.

The first thing you should know about us is that we're not going to turn your wedding day into a photoshoot. Capturing beautiful memories and turning them into stunning visuals happens takes real emotion and a little careful planning. Our goal is to make sure that living in your moment stays as the top priority - helping you not to get caught up in the other stuff.

We've seen what brings our clients joy and we've seen what takes them out of the moment. That's why we invite you to treat your couples photos like a hot date; your cocktail hour like the best party of your life; and your wedding feast like the joyous celebration it is. We'll be there to capture it all.

hello, hello

okay so this is obviously not us, this is our kids. had to squeeze 'em in somewhere.

We have three kids of our own and we have spent their little years travelling in our RV, exploring the great outdoors, playing Super Mario Kart, and painting nails. It's because of our own wedding that we got into wedding photography and cinematography, and as our craft has grown since 2009, our family has, too. In a very real way we can see how important it is to create, hold, share and tell family stories... and your wedding is one very special part of that story.
We don't think you need to be extravagant. We don't even think this needs to be the best day of your life.
But we do believe that this is a story that needs to be told, and when we take our photos and capture our videos, 
that's what we have in the back of our mind. Your story. Our craft.

WE BELIEVE IN WHAT WE DO,
BECAUSE WE ARE A FAMILY.
