my philosophy

COMMUNICATION IS KING

Coming from a career that required effective communication we understand how misunderstandings can happen. We make sure to keep in constant contact so we are all on the same page. Nothing sucks more than unmet expectations. Before your session we always make sure to send a final email weeks before so if anything changed from the time you booked we already have it engrained in our brains. This doesn't stop until everything is delivered.

my philosophy

Let Go!

The key to natural and candid moments lies in embracing freedom—freedom from inhibitions and the ability to connect authentically with one another. By the time we meet, we’ll already have established a rapport, ensuring that you feel at ease and confident in front of the camera. During your session, you’ll be enveloped in a world that revolves solely around your love. Revel in the joy of your connection; whether it’s playfully lifting one another or simply enjoying a serene moment together, let your genuine emotions shine through. This is your moment, and we’re here to capture it with elegance and artistry.

my philosophy

You are MORE THAN A TRANSACTION

Our involvement with your wedding doesn’t start and stop with just arriving at the event, taking pictures, and leaving. We are dedicated to making sure that you enjoy your time into marriage, from your proposal to your wedding guests sending you off as newlyweds. Whether it is a 10pm email asking where a good place to take pictures is or asking our opinion on your timeline, shoot us that email.

Every detail—from your planner to the venue, to the music that fills the air—has been chosen to create a seamless and extraordinary experience.

"... made it a lot of fun!"

"... Gail was so kind in responding to all my questions, even giving opinions and advice about our outfits.
Fast forward to the day of our session, Gail was an absolute gem. She guided our session perfectly. We were concerned that we'd be much too stiff for a photoshoot but Gail directed us the entire time and made it a lot of fun!..."
