the process
Reverencing the depth and meaning of Catholic weddings with a sophisticated, timeless, and quintessentially classic style that endures.
Moved by the honesty of photojournalism and
sophistication of editorial fine art, our work evokes the
classic style of a bygone era. Prioritizing timelessness over trends, we are careful to capture every moment of your wedding day in a way the endures.
For us, that is the definition of “timeless”. We imagine you sitting over coffee as you flip through your wedding album. The gold-framed portrait that will hang in your family room. Your granddaughter’s request to see you in your wedding dress.
In the years ahead, your photos will grace your lives in ways you can’t yet imagine. We would love to be a part of the legacy you create.

Wedding planning can present many questions but we are here to help guide you through the exciting process.
Next Question
While this is not something we require, we highly encourage our couples to consider working with a full service wedding planner or day of coordinator. Why? When there is not a delegated team in charge, the logistics of the day often fall on the photographer which can take our focus away from being fully attentive to your photos. Wedding planners are incredible and we are happy to share our favorites with you!
Next Question
Yes! Over the years I have found that providing a second photographer ensures that each part of the day is covered fully and no moment is missed. As a husband and wife team, it ensures that we will be able to accomplish everything you desire for your wedding day.
Next Question
We do not give out raw files under any circumstance as they are not a proper representation of our work. A raw file is like a painting half complete, our timeless and elegant editing style in the final touch and what our couples hire us for.
Next Question
We shoot with top of the line Canon DSLR and mirrorless camera bodies and lenses. Every camera we use has duel card slots which means there are automatically 2 copies of each photo we take. We always bring back up equipment with us and make back-ups of your images on our external drives and cloud storage the moment we get home from your wedding.
Next Question
Absolutely we do! Right after you book, we will send over a primary timeline based off your wedding mass and reception times along with what we see as best for your individualized day. We are always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have through the process and love to create a stress-free timeline for you as soon as possible!
Next Question
Yes! Our business is registered and insured and we would be happy to provide a certificate of insurance upon booking and request.
Next Question
Each wedding day will vary, depending on the size and how many hours of coverage. We estimate that you can expect around 50-75 images per hour of coverage
Next Question
We understand that choosing to cancel or move a wedding is not an easy decision. If you find yourself in this situation, we ask that you let us know as soon as possible. The retainer you pay to reserve your date is non-refundable but can be put towards a future portrait session.
Next Question
When we meet for a consultation call, we will talk over what is currently planned for your wedding day so far. We will make a suggestions based on the details of your day, but you can always adjust and add on an additional hour of coverage at a later date.
Next Question
Yes! We have a list of our preferred vendors that we know and trust will provide you with the best possible experience and product or service for your wedding day. We want to make sure that your experience working with other wedding professionals is positive and you have the best of the best!
Next Question
Yes! We have photographed and attended multiple Traditional Latin Wedding masses and love the timeless beauty and tradition of the TLM.
Next Question
We never want to be in the way or a distraction during any wedding ceremony, especially a wedding mass! We position ourselves quietly on the sides of the aisles, toward the back of the aisle, and only move close when allowed or necessary. Our gear is versatile and allows us to zoom in close even if your church has restrictions on where photographers can stand. We always respect the rules of your church and priest while ensuring all of the important moments of your wedding mass are documented!
Next Question
Yes, this is what we specialize in! We shoot with professional grade cameras and lenses that allow us to take clear and properly lit photographs in low light. Most churches do not allow flash during the ceremony but for any professional photographer, this should not be a problem. No matter what photographer you choose, be sure to ask them if they have experience shooting in low light and if they know how to manage it.
