FULL     BEAUTIFUL LIGHT

your wedding images should be

of

and

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 Granna 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. I find such purpose in helping our clients plan their wedding day, because when you’re prepared, you spend less time stressing, and more time celebrating with those you love. 

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.

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 Mai Tai, personal stylist to our clients, and a firm believer in high school sweethearts. 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. Together, with my husband Paul, we’re a team in our lives and in work. We have two beautiful children, Makenna & Hayden, two German Shepherds, and two cats. A few of my favorite things include fashion, all the florals, Costco trips, houseplants, acai bowls, and family walks.

Hello!

"They absolutely
blew us away
in every single way!”

get to know  us

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, unless you can just pop the top and consume it, or warm it up in the microwave, it's takeout all the way!

NOT ALWAYS LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER

Cook vs. Takeout

Our photography is iconic, timeless, full of beautiful light and natural emotion; strongly influenced by fashion. We genuinely love how we're able to connect with couples who have the same approach to love and values that we have. Our couples are inspired by coastal surroundings, are classic with a modern twist, and want to throw a wedding that feels like
