I'm so glad you're here! You've probably spent hours searching the internet for a wedding photographer and you're counting down the days till you're finally married!!
You're looking for a photographer that values you and your vision, who makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and knows that the people sitting in the front row at your ceremony are some of the most important people in your life.
You want photos that genuinely reflect who you are together while also showing how beautiful the day was. That's where we come in. When you step in front of our camera, you can know that a trusted friend is on the other side- not just the photographer you hired. That's when the magic happens!
WELCOME!

When I think back to my own wedding photos, the ones that mean the most to me are the ones with my grandparents. At the time when we got married, we weren't sure if my grandparents would make it to our wedding in person. But they did.
Seeing them sitting in the front row in their wheelchairs means the world to me. Just a few months after our wedding, my granddad passed away. Our wedding day was one of the last times I saw him in person. It was the last time I hugged him. The last time I spoke to him face to face.
From creating photo-friendly timelines to capturing your grandparents holding hands during your ceremony, I'm there for you. We know how important your wedding day is, and we don't want you to miss a thing!
I'll be the one shouting "Yesssss!!!!" from behind the camera when the wind catches your veil and doing whatever it takes to get the perfect shot!
Our passion lies in creating a one-of-a-kind experience.
WHAT SETS US APART IS THAT

These photos are priceless to me. They are the most precious memories, and I can't look at them without tearing up. You don't realize how important photos are until they're all you have left. Michael and I know how important the people in the front row are in your life.
While you are fixated on each other at the altar, we are your eyes for you. We're photographing your parents, your grandparents and all the ones sitting in the front row watching you get married. These photos are priceless to us, and we want you to have them too.

Joanna
I started photography as a hobby and it quickly grew into a thriving business! I photographed my first wedding in 2013 and two years later, I quit my teaching job to go full time in my business. With a sweet tea in hand, I'll be your biggest hype woman and encourager to bring out the most beautiful version of you in front of the camera!

Michael is my husband and official second shooter! He is a mechanical engineer Monday-Friday and wedding photographer on the weekends! He is incredibly smart (he has three degrees!) and wears many hats on the wedding day. From veil tossing to organizing family photos, he does it all! He's also 6'4" and gets amazing angles!
