We’d love to work together! All of our bookings are first-come, first-serve. If we’re still available, you can reserve your date by signing a contract and paying a 50% reservation fee. We’ll hold the date for you, so the payment is not refundable.

We know how excited you are to enjoy your photos! We edit and color-correct every single image by hand. You can expect your gallery in about 3 to 4 weeks.

Our team of artists shares a similar style, technique and approach to wedding photography—best described as “artistic photojournalism.” Weddings require photographers to be versatile. We’re always looking for flattering angles, beautiful light and creative approaches. We’ll offer gentle guidance, helpful direction and suggestions so you look your very best.

You’ll receive a private online gallery. You can download your images in full-resolution. You can also share your gallery with family and friends. 

Every wedding is different, just like every couple is different. We usually deliver about 800 photos for an 8-hour wedding. We do not have any limits!

Yes. You receive full printing rights, which means you can print your images anywhere you like. We also offer a high-quality print shop with great albums, wall art, and more.

We have several lead photographers on our team who are skilled and experienced master artists. All of our team members share a very similar style and camera technique, almost indistinguishable from each other. We personally edit every single image. That’s how we deliver a consistent style to all of our couples. (Meet our team.)


Absolutely. We’ve partnered with world-renowned print shops to custom design and deliver fantastic physical products, including albums, metal prints, canvasses, invitations and other wall art.

Yes, absolutely! We’d love to talk about creating a custom package for you.

what is a highlight film?

can i pick the music?

what is a full ceremony video? full toasts video?

Highlight films are cinematic videos that feature the best moments from your wedding day. They typically include getting ready, first look, ceremony, vows, toasts, first dances, the party, cake cutting, grand exit and all the special moments in between. We craft every highlight film to be unique to your wedding. (Watch films here.)

how long is the highlight film?

how will i receive the film?

can i help edit the film?

do you use microphones?

can i order the raw footage?

can i add hours, or customize a package?

Yes! All the music comes from our professional licensed library. You’re welcome to browse the collection and select your favorites. Our library includes hundreds of songs. You’ve never heard of these artists since they compose music specifically for wedding videography studios. Federal copyright law prohibits us from using “popular” artists you hear on the radio unless we buy a separate license from the record company, like Sony Music. This might be possible on a song-by-song basis, so please ask us if you’re interested!

Some of our videography packages include full videos of ceremony and toasts. These are basic video and audio recordings of your ceremony and toasts from beginning to end. There’s no editing or fancy camerawork — just a great video you can save and enjoy for generations. The full video of your toasts includes all the speeches from start to finish.


Most cinematic highlight films are about 6 minutes. Couples tell us that’s the perfect length to re-live their special day and share it with family and friends on social media.

We’ll send you a digital file in full resolution that you can download and save forever. We’ll also create a special URL with an online video player so you can easily share your video with family and friends.

Most couples prefer to let us craft their film. And they absolutely love the results! We also offer an optional add-on that allows couples to review a draft version of the film and make changes. Please let us know if you’re interested.

Yes, absolutely. The audio and spoken words from your ceremony, vows and toasts are often the most special and cherished moments from your wedding. We use professional wireless microphones. They are small and discreet. The microphone attaches to the groom’s jacket or officiant’s clothing. They are digital, so they will not interfere with any other microphones provided by your DJ, venue or church. Our microphones are completely separate from your DJ’s and venue’s microphones. For toasts, we also use our own discreet wireless system to record sound. It’s super easy!

Yes. We offer the raw footage as an optional add-on. It’s usually about 3 hours worth of video!

Yes, absolutely! We’d love to talk about creating a custom package for you.
