YOUR wedding photography experience
YOUR WEDDING ISN'T A PHOTOSHOOT.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And we're here to document it the way it really happens — unposed, unfiltered, full of connection. No performance. No pretending. Just honest images with a pulse.
They took an already special day, and made it a million times better.

HOW IT WORKS
OUR PROCESS
We're known for our personalized approach and attention to detail, and that all comes from building a relationship founded on trust. This allows us to arrive as friends who blend seamlessly into the natural flow of the day, and leave as part of the family, having captured priceless moments you'll cherish for the rest of your life.
1. initial consult
After you inquire, Shelley will reach out to set up a consult call so we can thoughtfully explore your vision and ensure we’re the right fit. From there, you’ll receive custom-tailored package options and a personalized sample timeline, designed to ensure your day is documented with intention and ease.
2. SECURING YOUR DATE
To officially reserve your date, we require a signed contract and a 25% retainer on your chosen collection, with the flexibility to upgrade or add on services at any point leading up to your wedding day.
3. PLANNING & CONSULTING
Along with our pre-wedding questionnaire and curated resource guide, we’ll be as hands-on as you need, helping with timeline planning and collaborating with your coordinator to ensure your day and your photos unfold exactly as you’re envisioning.
4. wedding DAY!
Get excited for an amazing day, with photographers who arrive prepared with a flexible plan for the day and a clear understanding of what matters most to you.
You’ll receive a thoughtfully curated "sneak peek" gallery of our favorite images from the day within a week of your wedding, followed by your fully edited online gallery within three months.
From there, we’ll help you preserve your memories with archival prints, fine art frames, and custom heirloom albums. Now, you're a client for life! You’re always welcome to return to us for maternity, family portraits, and whatever comes next.
5. post-wedding
I wish I could give Shelley and Portugal more than five stars. They cared as much about our day and capturing every moment as we did.

Here’s the thing about your wedding photos…
You'll come back to THEM again and again
You only get to experience this day once — and when it’s over, your images are how you’ll relive it for the rest of your life. We document it all with artful honesty so you don’t just remember how it looked… you remember exactly how it felt. If there's one thing you shouldn't cut corners on... it's this.
Albums are the natural next step for our couples to preserve their legacy: tactile, honest, and built to outlast trends and technology. We walk alongside you to craft something that feels deeply personal and timelessly permanent.
Proof It All Happened
Frequently asked questions
will both of you be at my wedding?
Yes! All of our packages include two photographers because we think working together as a team is essential to creating a well-rounded, "no stone unturned" gallery. In the unlikely event that one of us is sick or unable to come to your wedding, we call in a photographer from our vetted list of associates to take their place.
How many images will we receive?
Your wedding gallery will include anywhere from 500-800 edited images. A good rule of thumb is to expect 80-100 images per hour of coverage. We believe in quality over quantity, and we promise no photo worth seeing will be excluded.
WE LOVE YOUR CANDID PHOTOGRAPHY, will you ALSO take family photos?
Yes! While these may not be everyone's favorite photos to take on a wedding day, these will be some of the most important images in your gallery. We do a lot of front-end planning to make the formal family & group photos easy, streamlined, and beautiful.
ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD KNOW?
We don’t take on every wedding that comes our way. We believe the best stories are told when there’s a genuine connection, so we’re intentional about working with couples who feel aligned with us. Every couple deserves the right photographer, and our priority is helping you find the best fit for your day.
WILL YOU TAKE ANY FILM PHOTOS AT OUR WEDDING?
While we don't offer any film-only packages, we do offer a film add-on service! This is a great way to supplement your wedding gallery with fun, creative, perfectly-imperfect film images shot on our 35mm, medium format, or instant film cameras.
CAN YOU TAKE OUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS?
We'd love to! Engagement photos are not only great for documenting the two of you in a more casual, slow-paced setting, but also such a wonderful opportunity for us to hang out before the wedding day (this can make all the difference if you are having camera jitters)
