The Wedding Experience
We are photographers who believe in savoring and celebrating the in-between moments.
Your parent’s reactions to the vows in the front row, the smirks and glances shared during the toasts, the emotional moment he sees you in your dress for the first time…. These little moments make up the fabric of any wedding day, and it’s our job to capture them authentically so that you can experience the full story of your day again and again.
It's a privilege for us to be trusted with such meaningful memories - we'd be honored to be entrusted with yours!
A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES
the details
You've thoroughly combed through our website, blog and Instagram feed and you’re thinking “these are my kinda people!” Let’s set up a time to chat and get to know each other better, hear all the lovey-dovey details, and introduce you to your photographer.
We’ll pour you a cup of tea or coffee (or a glass of wine) while you tell us your story.

We’ll customize a proposal just for you, so you won’t pay for anything you don’t need! You’ll book right online (it’s super simple), and once your date is officially reserved, we'll send over a few goodies to help you prepare for the big day.
From start to finish, the booking process should feel like a breeeeeze.

Now the real fun begins! Together, we’ll choose a location that fits the two of you, we’ll create gorgeous images, and you’ll get a little practice in front of the camera. Best of all, we’ll all have a blast!
Let’s celebrate the sweet story that got you here - and capture exactly who YOU are.

After your engagement session, we’ll sit down together in our studio for the grand reveal! In this design session, you will see your images for the first time (while sipping champagne), choose your favorites, and walk away with a plan to cherish them forever in your home.
There’s nothing better than sipping champagne while seeing your images for the first time!

We love to say that “spontaneity is the reward of preparation.” We help you prepare well for all of your wedding moments, so you’ll have a stress-free day with plenty of space to savor and just be you. So three months ahead of the wedding, we’ll put together a timeline and a list of family portraits for you.
We’ll be your guide in crafting a wedding day timeline built for savoring.
STEP FIVE

well

It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. We’ll be there (with huge smiles!) to capture every bit - but most importantly, to help you stay fully immersed in the moment.
Take a deep breath - because you’re about to be newlyweds!
STEP Six

day

A few weeks after your wedding, we'll sit down together to reveal your images, finalize your album, and order beautiful wall art to preserve the day on your walls and in your hearts forever. Cheers!
Our favorite step - it’s time to relive all the feels & see your images for the first time!

WORD ON THE STREET
"he was my partner in making sure this was the best day of my life"
Laguna Beach, California
Harlan & Vanessa
Our photographer did more than just take pictures - he was my partner in making sure this was the best day of my life. He prayed with me, slowed me down, and took the extra step to making sure it was a perfect day.

We believe in savoring, but what does that mean?
Your friends and family might be telling you right now that your wedding day will pass by in a blur. That you won’t remember anything, so you should hire an amazing photographer to capture the magical moments for you.
But we believe that doesn't have to be true.
We believe you can pause, slow down, and remember so much more of your wedding day than you ever thought possible.
But when you’re the one in the center of the celebration whirlwind, it’s incredibly difficult to slow down on your own. And we know that. We’ve walked with so many couples through their days, that we know when to step in, help you to pause, and take in all of the magic that is happening around you.
Your photos are not supposed to replace your memories. Our goal is for you to remember so much more of your day that each photo transports you right back to how you felt in each moment.
This is calling Savoring, and it’s at the heart of everything we do.
