WEDDING DAY.

our ethos.

Weddings are beautiful celebrations full of energy, love, and delight. Stepping into these moments, our desire is to come ready with eyes wide open to document the beauty, celebration, quirks, excitement, design, and emotion.

We continue to approach these moments with a photojournalistic sensibility. Observing is our forte, and our desire to arrange or manipulate moments as they unfold is minimal.

The biggest gift you could give us would be to be fully present with each other and the people you love.

The celebration may be short, but the emotions are grand. We’ll be right there alongside you, capturing it with our (many) cameras in tow.

getting ready.

While you’re getting ready, we’ll arrive to capture some of the candid moments. We often use this time to photograph details such as accessories, invitation spreads, and other meaningful elements.

what should we have prepared for when you arrive?

If you would like details to be photographed, please have any of the following things ready: multiple copies of the invitations, your dress and any accessories, and all rings in the same location.

ceremony.

Throughout the ceremony, we do our best to be discreet. Our priority is to capture all of the moments as they unfold without disrupting the main event and guest experience.

should our ceremony be unplugged?

There are a lot of benefits to having an unplugged ceremony. Guests are more attentive to what’s happening, there are no accidental phone rings, and photos are free from a sea of phones or iPads in your wedding images. These things really help us get a clear shot.

That said, we are 100% fine if you choose not to have an unplugged ceremony. It’s our job to work around any situation and do our best, no matter the circumstances — our priority is that your day unfolds as you imagined.

family photos.

On the online form, we’ll ask you to submit a list of family photo groupings.

This list ensures we don’t miss any important photographs or arrangements.

We often opt for a location right close by the ceremony for family photos, which makes it easier for everyone to gather and stay organized amidst the excitement of a wedding day.

portraits.

Our goal is always for portraits to feel as effortless and natural as possible. We’ll help guide you both with gentle prompts and some direction, while also giving you the space and freedom to be yourselves.

wedding party photos.

We approach wedding party photos in a simple manner, arranging a few traditional group photographs (10 minutes). If photographs with your wedding party are a priority, please let us know and we can place greater emphasis on this throughout the day.

post wedding.

Our film is carefully delivered to our NYC lab we partner with. Once we receive your film photographs back, we thoughtfully prepare a gallery of preview images from the celebration. You can expect this gallery to be sent your way within 1–2 weeks of the event.

The full gallery will be ready within 10 weeks after the wedding. Please keep an eye out for an email with an invitation to your online wedding gallery.

If you have any further questions or details you’d like to go over, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
