THE EXPERIENCE

We keep our approach to everything simple. Let’s look at our values.

01. Authenticity

From the start, we do our best to set forth a relationship with our clients that isn’t just pay + sign here. I really enjoy it when our couples open up the window of their lives to us, and we’ll do the same. Human to Human, I’m not some big corporation here to say hi and cya later! Bryan and I started this company in 2023 because documenting peoples stories is so fun to us. 

02. Creative Innovation

Every person we’ve met through this has a different story, different lives, jobs, interests, things they care about. We do our best to photograph as true as we can for each individual client. So… no I am not a photographer with a 24 hour turnaround time. Your galleries take time to creatively process. It’s an art piece. I don’t shoot the same on every Session/Wedding, or edit the same. This also brings up a point that to have us properly do our jobs for you - we don’t tie a certain gallery size to it other than an expectation of 50 photos per hour. While we’re at your Wedding, whether it’s a backyard or in a National Park we want to be there with you. Celebrate with you. Not turn around and take un-creative images as “fillers” in the gallery because we’re worried about reaching a certain number.

Quality OVER Quantity. (*For Weddings (8 Hour Days) we typically land around minimums of 800 images, and two hour Sessions about 175 images)

03. Let’s skip the formalities

Every time we meet someone through this I really feel like we’ve been friends for ages. We will give direction when needed but it’s never looked like, “turn your head slightly, arm up, chin down.” Ever. We approach our bookings like meeting a friend again. But we’re literally SO excited to meet you and capture these moments for you!!!!! SERIOUSLY.

We’ll give actions & prompts throughout the day but stay mostly candid. This is a backdoor approach to capturing emotion, which in turn - is able to encapsulate your day better than you could have imagined. ANY (and I mean it) ideas, concepts, things you want to incorporate, let. us. know. Let’s run with that idea. Because believe me I just love it when clients are able to incorporate a little more them into our sessions.

What are three things you want to remember from your Wedding Day?

Weddings - to me, are more than point, and shoot. and shoot again. This is more than a job to us, I can’t describe the feeling of my Grandfather passing when I was 16 and my family and I were at his shop looking through old film prints the next week. Ones I’ve never seen before - actually most of my family hadn’t.

It was like looking through a window of the life you feel when you pick up an old record player, a bracelet with a turquoise stone.You could smell the dirt of the childhood photos that were blurry - messy. Imperfect.They were scratched and worn but perfectly full of memories.

They had emotion. There were no forced smiles, there were stories & blurry dogs running around, photos of kids and friends and some National Parks. It’s scratches in the kitchen table, your wife's favorite cooking spoon, the meal you ate every Christmas as you watched the snow come down. As I looked through them, I could smell the air that was seemingly stuck in the photograph until we pulled them out.

This is what this job is to us. Capturing Real, Raw, Life. As it is. As it has been.
