Question 1

How would you describe your style?

Accepted Answer

I approach weddings as if I’m filming a movie, crafting a gallery that flows with variety and purpose. Each frame is composed to capture the intimate moments, the vibrant joy of your guests, and the artistry of the venue and decor. From sweeping wide shots that highlight the grandeur of the space to close-ups that showcase raw emotions, I aim to evoke a cinematic feel. Editing is tailored to the atmosphere of your wedding—bright and airy venues inspire light, ethereal tones, while moody, gothic aesthetics are embraced with dramatic flair. Every couple has a unique story, and I adapt my vision to match yours.

Question 2

How long have you been doing wedding photography?

Accepted Answer

We bring 15 years of photography experience to the table, with a unique background as a collective of filmmakers. Weddings are a special passion for us, and we carefully select only a handful each year in between working on our film projects. The team has been working together for over a decade, forming a seamless team with a deep understanding of each other’s style and approach. When we photograph weddings, we function as a unit, with a well-honed routine and a clear plan for who captures what. We’ve trained and worked together extensively, ensuring consistency, professionalism, and a shared creative vision in every frame we deliver.

Editing: We tailor editing to match your wedding’s vibe, whether bright and airy or moody and dramatic. Delivery: We deliver a highlight gallery (approx 10-30 pictures) within 12-48 hours, so you have some key pics to share immediately!

Question 4

Who is part of your team?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your package and the size of your wedding, we can have anywhere from 1 to 4 people on the team. We have a trained photographer/videographer who shoots the most important parts of the wedding, capturing both photo and video. This helps us keep the team nimble, making it possible to offer flexibility for smaller budgets while still maintaining a high level of professionalism and coverage.

We are based in San Francisco and cover the Bay Area, Napa, and Sacramento regions.

Whether it's a wedding in the hills of Napa, a corporate shoot in the heart of Silicon Valley, or an international destination project, we bring our full creative energy and professionalism to every frame.
