“From helping to coordinate my day to photographing all the beautiful memories, they are both very easy to work with, professional, caring, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. They're not just photographers—they're the sweetest couple, and I'm so glad for their friendship.”

“Hannah and Michael were with us through the whole process of our engagement, wedding, and after. They immediately made us feel comfortable and provided just the right amount of direction. The attention to detail in our photos amazed our families and us. We will absolutely cherish our photos forever!”

“Hannah and Michael were an absolute dream to work with! They were so responsive, provided every detail, and planned our entire engagement shoot from start to finish, so all we had to do was show up. They are so talented and immediately made us feel comfortable. We absolutely love the photos and memories that they captured!”
THERE’S JUST NOTHING BETTER THAN DOCUMENTING OTHERS’ LOVE STORIES AND HELPING THEM HAVE THE BEST DAY EVER.
The value of photos gets so underestimated sometimes, but they have so much power.
They can tell your story, remind you of things and feelings you forgot, give you a new perspective and show how much you’ve grown, They bring you joy, freeze a moment in time, and make you FEEL. They are your legacy and what you pass on to your family or kids one day.
So if you're looking for candid, true to life photos that capture the REAL you, then look no further. We're here for you.
We believe your wedding should feel like you,not a performance.
That’s why we do things a little differently around here.
We’re not here to pose you stiffly and count down the minutes. We’re here to laugh with you, hype you up, and make sure you feel so dang comfortable that you forget the camera is even there.
Our couples are often homebodies, a little bit adventurous, best friends, and lovers of intentional moments. They care more about connection than tradition, and they want a wedding that reflects their vibe—not what Instagram says is trendy.
But before I got my first client, we served on our church’s media team, which taught us a great deal about candid storytelling. Learning to capture the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it-moments in less-than-ideal lighting helped when we transitioned to wedding photography.
I remember being so anxious about photographing my first wedding, so I asked Michael to be my second shooter. We barely slept the night before the big day, going over the timeline and every last detail. Despite our nerves, the wedding couldn’t have gone any better, and we were hooked and have been working together ever since!
We’ve loved photography from the very beginning. Growing up, I saved up to buy my first DSLR camera at 16, and Micheal had an old Canon Powershot digital camera in high school. Later we bonded over photography while dating, taking photos of each other from anywhere out in nature to Disneyland.
Fast forward to being married for a few years, I dreamed of pursuing photography full-time. Michael, being the best husband ever, upgraded all of my gear and invested in a mentorship for me in 2017.
