About your photographers

Oh brrrother…Another “About Us” section.

Jk ☠️ Here are some silly-goose facts about us. We live in a fully-converted 4x4 Sprinter van and we travel the USA in search of off-road campsites, all-you-can-eat sushi, and crimpy crags. We love to hang with other like-minds as well as those entirely different from us. Our dog would like to pet you. We’re pretty sure you’d like to pet him, too; He’s fluffy and a very good boi.

Our passion for telling stories goes beyond the onslaught of recycled instagram fluff.

Don’t worry, we’re over it, too. We shoot exclusively on analog cameras because it’s the closest thing to... well, the real thing. We use the same cameras to document our own life.

Above all, we’re committed to documenting your story (whether near or far) in ways we’ve never seen before. It’s the magical dust of film, and we want to sprinkle you with it.

If for some reason you want to read more about us, head on over to the more thorough, *professional* About Us page lol.

What’s it like working with us?

It’s important to know that we shoot what we see. Sometimes we set things up, but most of the time it’s a truly candid take on the day. Nothing beats the kid nephew picking their nose, a bridesmaid falling in a pool, a teary exchange between exuberant mothers.

Don’t worry about looking editorial or fancy. Every couple you see on this website told us “We don’t look good in front of the camera.” We beg to differ. We enjoy capturing people in their moments of profound honesty, and if you gander our portfolio you can see the evidence. Your day will look exactly how you want to remember it.

We make super 8 videos

baked with grandma-era cameras and cinema sprinkles.


backyard wedding poster children of the year

In the heights of the Adirondacks, Lindsey and Alex were wedded on their very own majestic shores of a backyard lakefront. Family rejoiced, trails were trodden, and we slung rolls of Super 8 all over it without remorse.

Ask us what the Grand Tetons means in french

The magnificent duo of Lexie and Nate gallivant what is perhaps America’s most distinctive mountain range. One batshit-early morning, two local craft beers, and a pair of canoes later, this video mystically appears.

newlywed for new years, aka Californication

Combine a wedding, a casino, and a film-laden calamity as the world completes another circuit. Mix thoroughly. Serve over a bed of debauchery. Pair with a giant bottle of sparkling water. Enoy.

  • “I wish you could see the effect watching your beautiful work had on us. Seriously a wild ride of emotion. We can't be more happy with having you there as a part of our day.”

    Meghan & Dani, Manteno, IL

  • "It's like something out of the best rom-com you've ever seen."

    Alex & Josh - Nantahala, NC

  • “Let’s start with the raw truth: Alex and Alexa are simply amazing at what they do. They are artists and true professionals in every sense of the words. From our very first conversation, they were immediately invested in getting to know us. We are so grateful they did. That personal approach paid dividends by the time our wedding weekend came around a year and half later. If you’re seeking someone who will invest themselves in your celebration and develop a meaningful relationship, then you’re likely not going to find anybody more capable and willing.”

    Rachael & Matt - Bridgewater VT

  • "These are unreallllll. Holy shit!!!! bbadhadfasdjkfasdjfb;b!!! :)"

    Max & Steph - Fano, Italy

  • "OH MY GAH. The best Christmas present EVER. I can't even begin to thank you. I laughed, I cried looking through these. They are my dream wedding photos and I can't thank you enough. Thank you thank you. The little moments that you captured that I wasn't even thinking of you got. I am beaming with happiness and love."

    Brittney & Brent - Tampa FL

  • "We have no idea how you catch every special moment. There's like five of you running around or something."

    Chelsea & Aimee - Blowing Rock, NC

Frequently vocalized inquirings

  • Primarily Asheville, North Carolina. However, we live in a Sprinter van so you’ll often find us gallivanting elsewhere with semi-reckless abandon.

  • Absolutely. We’re well-seasoned travelers and passport-ready for the cosmos. We travel for over half the weddings we document.

  • We offer customizable packages for film photography, Super 8 videos, or both. Check out out our pricing and process to get a more thorough look.

  • Sure do! We know documentation is a huge investment, so all of our packages are set on a payment plan. You can pay in 2, 4, 6, 12, or however many payments you want - as long as you’re fully paid up before the wedding, you’re good to go.

  • Our books are open for 2024 and beyond! We’re available for both weekday and weekend celebrations any time of the year. Only way to know if we’re available for your date is to send us an inquiry here. We’d love to hear from you!

  • If you’re one of those legendary couples who want to go all-out on a beautiful location (whether as a short jaunt on your wedding day, or heading out somewhere spectacular for your entire celebration), we offer our scouting expertise. You might say we moonlight as google maps ninjas.

  • As long as it’s on pasta we don’t mind.
