It was an absolute joy getting to capture Irene & Danny for their engagement shoot. Not even 5 minutes into the shoot, we were already laughing and really seeing the personalities of these two coming out. T-minus 1 week until we get to boogie with them on their big day!

"I left my heart in San Francisco"

Nathan and Ingrid's engagement earlier this year. We are super excited to capture their big day this weekend!!

If you asked us a year ago that we were going to capture love in New York, we wouldn’t believe it.

Fast forward to today and we had the pleasure of doing just that. These photos are extra special since this was our first time in New York. We had to capture the essence of this concrete jungle - everything from the panoramic skyscraper views to the busy streets and taxi cabs.

Congratulations, Dominic & Sindell! 🎉

I’ve known Sweetzelle and Julian for pretty much my whole life. Sweet is my cousin and someone I grew up with when I used to live in Reno. It wasn’t until she was later in her 20s when I met Julian. After seeing their relationship grow over the years, I knew they were a perfect fit. Everything f...

WOW, what a JOURNEY it has been. When we first announced our business, we never would’ve expected to be where we are today, especially in such a short span of time. As excited as we are, there is so much room to grow.

What started off as a couple of friends being asked to capture weddings together became something so much more. To take a photo and capture video is one thing, but to create a legacy piece of work that carries throughout generations is another.

This film shares a little bit about who we are and what we’re all about. This all wouldn’t have been possible without our AMAZING COUPLES that have trusted us in capturing their once-in-a-lifetime milestone, but more importantly, their story. We are truly lucky to work with all of you and cannot wait to meet those looking to work with us. Cheers!

(Mark) One of my favorite things about an engagement session is sharing the thrill of an outdoor adventure with my couple. That's what I had the chance to do with Thai and Thao at Land's End in San Francisco! If you know our team, we geek and squeel over beautiful light, and we try to bring that energy to all our photoshoots.

San Francisco is alaywas a surprise when it comes to weather, and towards the end of our shoot it got super windy, but these guys were troopers. It was an incredible time.

When your apartment complex has an aesthetically pleasing courtyard, you use that opportunity to take your engagement photos there and that’s exactly what these two did.

S + D wanted to go for a timeless, minimal, yet simple look with nothing too extravagant and we gotta say.. they completely nailed this shoot. These two moved from NYC so we knew we had to incorporate some street photos to bring it back home one time. Believe it or not, these photos were all taken no farther than a 30 second walk from their home. Stoked to be capturing their wedding next year out in NYC! 🎉

—— ANNOUNCEMENT! ——

We wanted to thank each and every couple that has booked with us in the past few months. We wanted to let everyone know that in order to provide our couples with the quality work they deserve, we are ONLY taking 1 - 2 more weddings / elopements for 2021 before we officially close our calendar for the year and only book for 2022. Our mantra is always to focus on quality over quantity and we are overwhelmed with all the support / bookings thus far. If you’ve been wanting to reach out to us, now is the time! @ Oakland, California

We love it when our couples include their four legged friends in their photos 🐶 🐶 our doggies are such an important part of our lives and what better way than including our pups for a fun experience 😁 @ Sacramento, California

Heya everyone! 👋🏻 Happy March! We can’t believe we’re already 3 months into the year. Where has the time gone. This set is from one of our engagement sessions in Big Sur with Jeremy & Nicole. This was their first time out there and it was nothing short of an adventure. Nothing beats the coastal views and beautiful landscapes along the shore.

Fun fact about our team – we all loved capturing landscape photography (we still do) before we did weddings! We remember traveling miles and hours on end to go to a destination which really sparked our love for the beauty of nature. That being said, whenever a couple inquires with us about a destination in mind, we are more than happy to show them what’s around the area! To be able to share our passion for photography, film, and the outdoors with our couples is something that’s always worth looking forward to.

To wrap it up, we have some big and exciting things to share with you guys soon! Stay tuned and enjoy your weekend ya’ll :) @ Big Sur, California

When you get the whole day to create art with people in love in a magical part of the world, you're bound to create something beautiful. It's the reason why we love shooting elopements so much.

We had a chance to shoot our second elopement in Yosemite with our good friends Emelia and Joey! Many times we spend half the days with our couples, but we had this unique opportunity to stay with Emelia and Joey the whole day, catching both sunrise and sunset.

This set of photos were towards the end of our day, where we got to catch a magical sunset at Taft Point. Everything about the moment was perfect - From Emelia's dress that draped beautifully over the Earth, to the vibrant sunset, and to the intimate moments we were able to capture on camera. Truly a dream.

See the whole set on our blog:
