Charleston Elopement | You might not know our story. Everyone has their own, but through this bumpy road called life, how from opposite sides of the country (literally California to South Carolina), this small-town girl met a very rural country boy, and that was it. Less than two weeks after we officially had our feet […]

Wine Country Wedding | COVID couldn’t stop them, even though it seriously tried!

Wrightsville Manor Wedding | We literally squealed with excitement when Carly and Carlos asked us to be their wedding photographers, because the way it all came to life is a story in its own.

A Scottsdale Arizona wedding. I’m looking back through the images from Walker and Molly’s wedding and in aw of how beautiful the day was, but I struggled with how to write this blog.

Details! Details! Details! Our hearts were swooning over all the details Kate had created from us the moment we walked through the door.

Every single detail thought of, no stone left unturned, nothing forgotten. It feels as if we’re walking through the pages of a real life magazine!  We love […]

In 2011, when we started to photograph weddings, we created a long list of all the dream wedding venues we wanted to capture weddings at, and felt if we were able to book a wedding at each of these venues, we had officially “made it.” It’s so funny for us to look back at this […]

That’s right friends, we’re back and better than EVER!!! Where have we been you might be asking yourself? Well, Rachel had a baby, we packed two houses and traveled over 2,100 cross country with three adults, two large dogs, a newborn, and now call Charleston, South Carolina home. That’s all. Oh, do we have stories […]

A Carmel Valley wedding. Occasionally there are those weddings that leave our hearts aching for more! So much thought goes into the bridal details, the couple uses the timeline we create, they do a first look, nearly everything is outdoors during daylight, and chose their vendors using our preferred vendor list. Oh my word, that […]

Notice a theme in our t-shirts, low hanging magical moss, and huge smiles across our faces? Besides keeping the secret we announced last week that Rachels pregnant, we’ve also been holding in something else. As of the end of the year, we will be calling Charleston home! We’re MOVING!!! That’s right, we’re trading the west […]

A Bernardus Lodge Wedding. There is no other place you would rather spend your late summer days than in Carmel Valley.

A Ventana Big Sur Elopement. The rain had subsided and skies were blue filled with wispy white clouds as we left Monterey driving down the coast of Big Sur.

A Folktale Winery Wedding. We were over 150 miles away, glued to the news, listening about the fire had just torn through Northern California’s beautiful Napa Valley.

  A beautiful southern California San Diego wedding. Who knew meeting these two would turn into such a friendship! We met Chris and Lauren a few years ago when they visited our area while reuniting with collage friends. Even though they now lived in southern California, they wanted an engagement session captured along the beautiful […]

We went from “We don’t have enough time”, “We always feel so rushed”, “We could have done better”, to “That was the smoothest wedding we’ve ever shot!”, “We had ample time for everything we needed – plus more!”, “Everyone was incredibly happy with how smooth the entire day went!”. How? Simply by learning from our mistakes […]
