Now booking 2026 & 2027 weddings — San Francisco, Chicago & worldwide.Inquire
The experience

From inquiry to forever.

Seven steps. No surprises. Here's how working with us actually feels — start to finish.

Most photographers won't tell you what happens between booking and getting your photos. We will. The whole arc is eight to twelve months — most of it is quiet, intentional work behind the scenes so the day itself feels effortless.

Click any step on the timeline to jump there. The cards auto-advance every five seconds.

“Timeline reviewed. Family group shots noted. We'll have a shot list ready — or we won't, and that's great too.”

A second call, this time about logistics. Timeline, family combos, must-have moments. Shot lists are welcome but optional — we work best when the day is allowed to surprise us.

“Camera ready an hour early. Quietly observing. Directing softly. The day belongs to you — we belong in the background.”

We show up early. We hide a lot. We capture everything — from getting ready through the last dance. If you don't notice us, we're doing it right.
