On assignment in far corners of the globe
Between traveling for weddings and handcrafting work for our clients in our home office in New York we enjoy spending quality time with our families. Whether it's a getaway to the Berkshires, an extended stay in Virginia (our home away from home) or in Italy, a place with so much meaning for us, our families have our heart. We enjoy cooking foods from our travels around the world and catching up with our dearest friends! A perfect day for us would be spent outdoors, exploring with our two little girls, beautifying a new part of our garden until sharing toasts around a bonfire at dusk.
Our most enjoyable places in the world to travel are Italy and France, where we continue to make incredible memories. We are grateful for a career that we love and that has afforded us the opportunity to create together as a husband and wife team. We love working with couples who share the same passion for growing together and for building loving, thriving marriages! We live a creative and fulfilling life of purpose anchored on faith and gratitude!
Working powerfully together and/or alongside a small team of associate photographers, we seek the kind of storytelling that leaves us inspired, excited & craving more.
Serving our couples with authenticity
& passion is our commitment to their experience.
Capturing breathtaking beauty is our devotion to our craft.
Alongside our cherished clients, for close to a decade we have created beauty on the most important days of their love stories.
We have sought treasured moments and have created in timeless photographs their family legacy that will be adored for generations to come. This is our honor.
Travel has made us stronger artists and storytellers. From the old world charm of Tuscany and the Amalfi coast, the romance of Paris and the Loire Valley to the stunning beaches of Mexico and the Caribbean, no location is too far! Our adventures have taken us all over the world.
Whether your paths crossed randomly like ours did, or you've known one another since college or happened to meet online, in every way your love story was completely meant to be and an absolute miracle! It deserves to be told with creativity and with beauty.
We find joy in creating and in seamless teamwork. In partnering with your Planner and vendor team we bring out your vision in stunning editorial photographs that truly capture the style and feeling of your wedding.
Dear Bride and Groom to be, your memories are most important to us.
In trusting us, together we will create something truly unique and beautiful!
When the last dance is danced and the candles have all dwindled out
what will be left will be a priceless collection of the most unforgettable day of your lives.
Our couples choose us because of our beautiful style, our experience and our expertise. Gently guiding you for a comfortable and relaxed experience, our approach brings forth your personalities and your natural emotions. In partnering with us for your wedding you are in passionate and skilled hands as we create stunning images of you and your loved ones that will remind you of how good you looked and how you felt.
Offering Wedding coverage in both film + digital.
In capturing a wedding with cohesive beauty and story throughout, in stylizing details and in making critical decisions for backgrounds and lighting, a quick instinct, experience and confidence is required for the best and most successful outcomes. There are no do-overs!
With years of hard work under our belts and becoming one of the best in our field, we have all the key components to be a valuable asset that you deserve on your team.
While we enjoy immersing ourselves into the flow of our creative spaces, we understand and appreciate that "soft skills" as well as a little dab of Type A attention-to- detail and directing really do matter. To do our best technical artistic work, we want to be exceptionally immersed in each of our couple's vision and available for them and their planning team along the way. We absolutely love what we do and love the couples and families we work with.
