IT ONLY GETS MORE EXCITING FROM HERE...
Congratulations!! You’re getting things done! Planning a wedding - big or small - takes time and energy, and look at you! On top of things! Well guess what, it only gets easier from here. In my (totally unbiased) opinion- once you book your photographer you’re basically done planning. It’s the most important vendor because it’s the only product that lasts literally forever. Read through this guide then lets get you B O O K E D. And while we’re at it, let’s reduce your stress by about half? Ready? Let’s get into it!
A bit about us and why we love to do this...
Hi Friend, We're Steven & Emma!
I (Emma) have been a photographer for over twelve years... around half of my life at this point. Right after Steven and I got married 2.5 years ago, I went full time with my photography dream! Since then, my goal has been to capture moments as close to reality as possible. While I do edit and color grade my photos, I keep in mind the end goal: to give you a memory in picture form so that you can enjoy it for the rest of your life.
Steven, on the other hand, is around 3 years into his filmmaking journey. One of our first dates was me making him watch Pride & Prejudice. Five years and countless rom coms later, Steven's desire to tell people's story came true through wedding videography. Now, Steven and Emma work together (as much as we possibly can), to show the love of other couples through our lenses. You're making our dreams come true one booking at a time, and we are endlessly grateful for this opportunity.
Our hope is that you feel loved and valued every step of the way. Our approach centers around you and the special moments that matter most. With kindness and a servant's heart, we strive to take every opportunity to reflect the light of Christ, bringing peace and joy to those we serve. Our goal is for you to look back at your photos and remember not only the moments, but the deep feelings they held, knowing that your story has been beautifully told.
Our APPROACH
Our approach to photography and videography is to tell your story as accurately as possible. Our goal in life is to get to know people and serve them with an overwhelming amount of kindness. When combined, our approach is honest and authentic while doing all we can to serve you well. Because of this, our approach includes LOTS of getting to know each other, many questions about what your perfect day actually looks and feels like, and doing our best to give you exactly that.
My Goal is to tell your meaningful story authentically, through a joyful and comfortable experiencE
