NEVER THE SAME LOVE TWICE
Listen, we love a good mood board as much as the next (Have you seen our Wedding Planner Workbook)? But we don't care about the aesthetic. We care about you. Not your vendors, not what your mom wants (and granted, we'll give her what she wants) but there are only two things we really care about : One, are you excited to celebrate spending the rest of your life with your person? and Two, What's on the menu / who's your DJ? Because we love a good party.
We are here for the people who are ready for marriage; a lifetime of community & connection. We value love, celebration, all forms of family, and a damn good time.

Gem is the best, she flew to Italy with us in 2018 to shoot our wedding and has done our annual photos ever since. She works with you every step of the way from planning the perfect location, esthetic, outfits, everything! She knows how to make you feel comfortable and coach you through the experience and is an incredibly talented artist. So grateful to have her photographs as little capsules through our life
"She knows how to make you feel comfortable"

We looked far and wide for a wedding photographer that would do justice to the wedding concept we were going for - and in the middle of the desert! As soon as we saw Erica's work, we knew she was the one. To our surprise, not only is she a fantastic photographer, but she is also so much fun to work with! She hiked with us to shoot an epic engagement session, and camped with us to capture every moment of our wedding. She instantly felt like a friend, and that made her being a part of our wedding that much more special. I could not recommend Erica more!
"So fun to work with!"
