My childhood was filled with California sunshine and coastal adventures. I grew to be a creative dreamer, always optimist, girl with a big heart, mama of two daughters, and Nana to the most adorable grandkids. I left California for change, laying new roots in South Carolina, and found the love of my life in a southern gentleman. When I’m not behind the camera you will find me being attempting all the DIY house projects, working on my green thumb, and dreaming of where our next vacation will take us. I’m a chaser of morning light, take a little coffee with my creamer, and flowers are my weakness.
BEHIND THE LENS
We believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. We believe in images that are eager to be printed, placed in silver frames, and hung on walls for generations to come.
mother-daughter photographers & adventurers
We're Laura & Rachel
we're so glad you're here!
I'm Laura
I'm Rachel
A passionate romantic and the one who started our photography journey. I’m a travel enthusiast, lover of cleanly composed and beautifully lit film portraits, will always celebrate with a Mojito, personal stylist to our clients, and a bit of a health nut. I’ve been capturing weddings since I was 14 years old and was able to graduate high school and start the adventure as a small business owner. I am incredibly blessed to wake up every day and get to call this my job. I have two beautiful children. A few of my favorite things include all things health, nutrition, fitness, coffee, fashion, all the florals, and gardening.

"They absolutely
blew us away
in every single way!”
We both have our strengths and weaknesses, and they pair up perfectly in business. Laura's the wordy one, in person and behind the computer, Rachel's the grammar check, photo editor, and stylist.
not always like mother, like daughter
Writer vs. Editor
Can you guess who's who? Laura captures the big picture, encompasses wide open landscapes, and romantic portraits. With precision, Rachel captures the fine details, from invitation flat lays, to those unspoken moments.
NOT ALWAYS LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
Portraits vs. Details
Digital is a moment you capture, fine art film is an image you feel. We approach weddings with a distinct editorial approach, yet with different devices, and deliver diverse images with consistency. Laura captures digital images, Rachel seizes moments in film.
NOT ALWAYS LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
Digital vs. Film
Being destination wedding photographers, we're on the road a lot. From either simple out of state road trips, to rental car adventures throughout the world, you'll find Laura behind the wheel, and Rachel giving directions. Why not just Google Maps you ask? Because Laura will always miss crucial exits without a co-pilot!
NOT ALWAYS LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
Navigator vs. Driver
Maybe it's a generational thing, but can you guess this one? Laura loves to make a good home cooked meal, but Rachel, wants to try every restaurant at least once!
NOT ALWAYS LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
Chef vs. Foodie
On the rocks vs. a salted rim? Laura is aged to perfection like Bourbon, as Rachel prefers the health benefits of tequila because it is a metabolism booster! >_<
NOT ALWAYS LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
Bourbon vs. Tequila
We started our fitness journey in 2022 and have lost over 140 pounds together! Rachel is definitely the motivator, but Laura is always up for an upper-body challenge.
