Hey, we’re Hannah and Michael! Husband & wife wedding & elopement photo team based in Southern California.

06/02/2026

We get asked a lot what it’s like to work together and photograph weddings together as a married couple.....

Honestly? it’s one of our all time favorite things we do together. Besides being goofy weirdos together 😜

We almost have our own language on a wedding day.
We don’t need to talk to know when to split up, when to be together, who will capture what angle and when a moment is about to happen.

We’ve been in your place and spend time getting to know you so we can capture your day like YOU.

We’ve been doing photography together together side by side since the beginning, way before Stay Golden Collective existed, and we still love every second of it

it’s been 6 years of being a couple photographing other couples WHICH IS CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT

Turns out working with your spouse every weekend is actually the greatest when you married the right person
😜

If we sound like your kind of team, we’d love to meet you and be part of your day!

If the thought of planning a 150 person wedding makes you feel stressed instead of excited... you don’t have to do it.

Let us say that again...

YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT

You can elope. Have a micro-wedding. Do something that actually feels like YOU.

Picture this: instead of stressing over seating charts and centerpieces, you’re saying your vows on a mountaintop, with the desert landscape surrounding you, a gorgeous courthouse, a classy rooftop bar or in a cozy backyard surrounded by your closest people.

At the end of the day, your wedding should feel GOOD to you. Big, small, or somewhere in between, it’s YOURS to design.

What would your most fun, relaxed day look like to you?

✨Ready to ditch the stress and plan something more intentional than traditional? We are READY let’s chat 💛

Forever grateful this is what we get to call work.

Good people, beautiful moments, and getting to turn memories into something lasting? Pretty cool setup if you ask us.

We’re just two photographers emotionally invested in people we met 8 hours ago 😂

Wouldn’t trade this job for anything 💛

Just a Tuesday photo dump of one of our favorites days we gotten to capture 💛

Small guest list, big feelings, no filler guests and NO obligatory traditions!

Plus the was such a vibe 😍 Every corner we turned had something new to see and the decor and colors were so fun! Plus you just cannot beat an intimate, private dinner on a rooftop in LA with all your closest people and a view of this gorgeous architecture.

We work really hard to capture your day the way it looked and felt, not just how it fits our “style”.

Sound like your kind of wedding day? You are definitely our kind of people 😉

More cute dogs like Kate at sessions please 😍

We’re always down for engagement sessions that feel like a date night with your favorite people (and furbabies) just with a couple of cameras tagging along 😜

What’s one moment from your life past or present or even future that you’d want captured and framed forever?

We’d love to know.. what would you never want to forget?

For us: minus the obvious stuff like our wedding photos…the ones that are most meaningful to us are all the last fun times we had with my (Hannah’s) dad before he passed. And all of our fun Disneyland date days from way back in 2011.

Those are just so precious to us and full of joy. They remind us of what life is all about. Finding the joy in every situation and spending time with those we love 💛

This is what happens when a little lady bug friend wants to be included in your engagement photos ✨🐞

One of our favorite non-traditional wedding moments?

Private vows.

Just the two of you, sharing the words that matter most without the pressure to perform or get it “right.”

We’ve seen couples laugh through their tears, whisper promises only they will ever hear, and take a few quiet breaths together before the rest of the day unfolds.

And it’s often the moment couples remember most and usually the only time you get to have alone together.

You don’t have to follow any rules on your wedding day. Want to say your vows in the forest before your ceremony? Or at sunrise with just the ocean as your witness? We’re all in.

Would you do private vows?

10/10 would rather be third wheeling in an enchanted forest than being stuck behind a computer screen today 🤪

✨If you could be ANYWHERE right now, where would you rather be?!?

We need some daydream inspo 😉
