How it all began.
Steph met Johnny while he was photographing a stage production. She complimented him on his camera & later he was so nervous that he put the wrong number into her phone. She managed to get in contact with him & they started taking photos together.
That was our beginning. A decade later & we've made a craft of telling the story of yours.
Photography, for us, is all about storytelling and connection. We absolutely love weddings, from the littlest details to the big emotional moments. Our goal is always for you to look at your collection of images & be able to feel what is was like on that specific day. To remember the nervous anticipation, the feel of your dress as you walked down the aisle to promise forever, the pure joy of being surrounded by family & friends. Candid moments will always be our favorite, for the power of emotion in the in-between gestures. And while your gallery will have plenty of gorgeous, traditional formals that are heirlooms on their own, combining them with all those personal expressions creates your own honest & unique heartfelt story.
A little about us.
Together we live in an log cabin from the 1890's, have two amazing girls Harper & Vivian, who we adore. OH! And a wild beast of a dog named Sebastian. (Not after the mermaid, think more Never Ending Story.) Together we've blended our lives & our approach to art to create a unique synergy.
