3 Core Values You Should Know About
Experience
Beyond beautiful images
Don’t get us wrong, beautiful photos are important – we’ve got that covered – but what really matters is:
YOU
YOUR LOVE STORY
YOUR SPECIAL DAY
YOUR EXPERIENCE
The point of photography is getting back to that moment – at any time in the future – and it doesn’t matter how beautiful the image is on camera if you felt awkward while taking it.
Our focus is, above all, making sure you have an AMAZING experience.
One that actually allows you to relax, be present, and fully enjoy your day. That in-person experience will reflect in truly amazing images that bring you back to your day over and over again.
Honesty
Like any relationship: trust is the key.
That hesitation to open up and be vulnerable is completely natural to the human experience.
You spent a great deal of time and energy dreaming about a day that has so much meaning. So when it finally arrives, how can you relax, be present, and fully enjoy your day?
The key is to trust your vendors and most importantly – your photographers. We have the responsibility – and honor – to not only document all the details you intentionally planned but also the feelings and emotions of the day. And that documentation is not only for you but for all of those who weren’t present – or haven’t even been born yet.
That’s an immense responsibility, and we don’t expect you to entrust us with that responsibility right away. And that’s why we added a trial to our consultations.
It means you get to see our beautiful images with YOU on them, and most importantly, you get to know how you feel being photographed by us. It makes the process of trusting simple and transparent on what to expect exactly before, during, and after your wedding day
Family
Our little human sits in our laps as we flip through the pages of our wedding album, recounting the stories of the start of our family – his family!
Looking back, what we’ve learned over and over is that the little moments you don’t expect captured are the ones that, years later, mean the most. It’s the family members no longer with us. It’s the love in our eyes, forever in those images.
It’s the celebration, the joy, and those quiet moments… The big but also the unexpected, the little and in-between moments. That’s what we promise you – all the real emotions so that you will always be able to look back and remember the joy and love.
We do so that in ten years, twenty years, fifty years, your littles and maybe grand littles, can sit on your lap as you recount the joy of your beginning. We do it in a way that gives you the trust to sit back, relax, be present, and fully enjoy your day.
