Introduction

If you’re worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, stressed about timelines, or unsure how photography and video actually fit into your wedding day — you’re not alone. Most of our couples tell us the same thing before we ever pick up a camera.


Here’s what it’s actually like to work with us, from the first email to the final gallery.

Before the Wedding: Calm, Clarity, and a Solid Plan

Long before your wedding day arrives, we help you feel confident and prepared.


This looks like:

  • Location guidance for engagement sessions

  • Timeline planning so nothing feels rushed

  • Vendor recommendations from years of experience

  • Clear communication so you’re never guessing what’s next


As one couple shared:

“Helping with timeline planning for the wedding was so helpful to help us stay organized.”

Our goal is simple: when your wedding day arrives, you can focus on being present — not managing details.

On the Wedding Day: Comfortable, Natural, and Fully You

You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to perform. And you definitely don’t need to feel stiff.

We guide you with natural prompts, movement, and encouragement — while also knowing when to step back and let moments unfold.

Couples often tell us:

“She made everything feel comfortable and natural.”

From emotional first looks to wild dance floor energy, we’re there to capture it all without pulling you out of the moment.



Real Moments Matter Most

Yes, we capture the big moments — but the in-between ones are just as important.

The quiet glances. The happy tears from parents. The laughter you didn’t even realize was happening.

One bride told us:

“Devin’s mom started crying as soon as she flipped to the second photo.”

That’s the magic we’re always watching for.


After the Wedding: Fast Sneak Peeks & Heirloom Memories

You won’t wait long to relive it all.

Sneak peeks arrive quickly, so you can soak it all in while the feelings are still fresh.

“Our sneak peeks came so quickly — we are obsessed!”

Your final gallery is thoughtfully edited and delivered with care, so years from now you can relive not just how your day looked — but how it felt.



Who This Experience Is Perfect For

This is for couples who:

  • Want candid, joyful, emotional imagery

  • Don’t love being in front of the camera

  • Value feeling comfortable and taken care of

  • Want to actually enjoy their wedding day
