Eight years ago we thought success meant photographing as many weddings as possible, being booked out and full in our schedules. Along the way we realized success looked very different.

It looked like dinners at home, it looked like afternoons with our son, it looked like creating work we’re proud to sign our names to.

The wedding industry often celebrates scale. More weddings, bigger teams, faster turnarounds, AI editing, outsourcing.

We found ourselves wanting the opposite.

We’d rather photograph five with our whole hearts than fifty while rushing through them and overwhelmed.

Every gallery is still edited by us.
Every email is answered by us.
Every wedding is photographed by us.
These aren’t just events or work; they’re family history and the most important days of people’s lives. We don’t take that lightly.

We don’t want to build the biggest photography business.We want to build the kind of life where we can still look our son in the eyes at the end of a wedding weekend, be fully present with him, and know we gave another family the same care we’d hope someone would give ours.

If that resonates with you, we’d be honored to celebrate with you.

2027 dates are now open.

We’ll only be accepting a small number of weddings each year as we continue raising our family. If our work has been on your heart, now is the time to reach out🤍 With love.

And a huge thank you to Peter Lobozzo for these family portraits🕊️

Over the past months, we’ve been spending intentional time on the East Coast with loved ones - an extremely special time to reconnect with family and reprioritize what matters most.

And while this season has been deeply nourishing, it’s also been illuminating, and we’ve felt the pull of home growing stronger and stronger.

Jackson has always held such a sacred place in our hearts. The mountains, the light, the pace, the people...most of all the community. It’s where so much of our life and work has unfolded over the years, and after time away, returning feels even more meaningful.

With the support of incredible friends; we’ll officially be back this August and are so incredibly excited to reconnect, create, and document this next season alongside you all again.

September and October sessions are now open (our favorite season in the Tetons - truly nothing compares), and we’ll also be opening our books for 2027 weddings and beyond.

There’s something so special about documenting people amidst seasons of becoming - engagements, marriages, growing families, quiet in-between moments - and after this chapter of slowing down ourselves, it feels even more sacred to return to this work with fresh eyes and fuller hearts. And…an almost two year old…where does time go?

We can’t wait to be back home🤍

— At the end of each year we go through and pull images from the wedding season that really resonate with us. Over the course of the following months we slowly post them, usually as single images to give each one their moment in the sun. It certainly isn't an algorithm optimized strategy, but it's a pleasure to look back at moments of warmth, love, and celebration in the off-season. We're nearly caught up - only a few images are left in the queue and we already can't wait to restock over the season to come.
