PORTRAITS
Our engagement sessions are really just a fun date with your person dressed to the nines! We laugh, play and most of all have fun! We gently walk you through movement based direction, not poses, ultimately creating the most natural and authentic moments to be captured! While you don't have to have an engagement session before your wedding, it certainly does help you prepare! Sessions are shot during golden hour.

YOUR DAY IS NOT ABOUT US.
Your wedding day is about celebrating your marriage with those loved ones that have traveled to celebrate with you! We work together with our couples and planners to create a seamless photography timeline to capture beautiful imagery all while still having our couple enjoying and being present for their party!
We offer individualized consultations and planning before your big day, where we focus on what is most important to our couples and how to best capture that in their final images.
we create
your vision.
It is so important that you hire a photographer that will capture your vision. We want you to look back at your images and it immediately bring you back!
we know all the best spots.
Leave all the planning, timing and location scouting up to us! We are light chasers!
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes we travel all over to capture beautiful love stories! We are based on the beautiful California Central Coast, however don't be afraid to reach out, more than likely we are happy to come to you! (Especially if it's Tahoe or Hawaii!)
How should I prepare for my session?
We will walk you through every step of the way, from timing, wardrobe selections and any other questions you may have! Just don't show up "hangry" (we won't either) haha!
What kind of equipment do you use?
We believe that each camera has it's own strengths! That's why we shoot a combination of Canon and Sony DSLR cameras. We also use a Contax 645 for our medium format film photography.
How many images should I expect?
75-125 images per hour of shooting. For an 8 hour collection that would be 600-1000 images.
When do I receive my images?
Full wedding galleries are normally delivered within 10-12 from wedding date. We take pride in making sure each image is absolutely gorgeous! However, we usually send out SNEAK PEEKS to our couples shortly after
the wedding (we know you are dying to see them...so are we)!
How do you describe your style?
We love whimsical images that capture the way you interact with your person. We are obsessed with light and are always chasing it! Lastly, we want your images to be timeless and thats why are edits are true to color. It is very important to us to have a variety for your gallery, we include both beautifully posed portraits but our absolute favorites are the "in the moment" photo journalist images!
How long do you keep my images?
We keep images for 1 year and are backed up in 3 different locations. Online viewing galleries remain active for 6 months.
DO YOU SHOOT FILM OR DIGITAL IMAGES?
We are considered a hybrid photographer, shooting both digital and film. Our collections are either fully digital or have hybrid options.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY YOU SHOOT FILM?
Film captures something extra special and is just so dreamy!
