When do I receive my photos?
You'll receive a sneak peek of your wedding photos within 48 hours. We deliver 90% of couples’ full galleries within 3 weeks. During peak wedding season, delivery may take up to 9 weeks, but we always strive to get your photos to you as promptly as possible.
How many photos will I receive?
We estimate 75-150 photos delivered per hour of coverage. We'll cull through to take out any blinks & repeats, and we'll never hold back on memories.
What is your style?
We've been told our work is natural, cinematic, joyful, candid, and fun. Clients have said we provide timeless emotive imagery that ranges from natural candids to aesthetic compositions with a real lived-in feel to them (and maybe some borderline cheesy and blooper moments hehe).
Will all the photos I receive be edited?
Yes! Every photo you receive has been hand-edited by us, one by one.
Do you shoot film?
All the photos you see on our site are documented digitally, no film. We prioritize the speed and reliability of digital photography to ensure we don't miss any once-in-a-lifetime moments. Digital allows us to shoot rapidly, back up images instantly, and deliver efficiently.
If you're drawn to the film look, you can always apply further edits to emulate that feel. There’s also an option to add on the raw files if you’d like.
Can I edit my own photos?
Sure! They are your photos, we want you to love them no matter what. You can either further edit the ones we’ve already edited, or even add on the raw unedited files and we’ll send them over so you can edit them from scratch if you’d like.
What is the "online gallery" that is included in your packages?
The online gallery is a private online website that contains your hi-res photos for you to download. This can be accessed by you & anyone you'd like to share the link with. This is also an easy and fast way to order prints, canvases, albums, and thank you notes (or you can just download the hi-res files and print where you please).
Will there be a watermark across my face in the photos I receive?
No, and there are no surprises/fees later to receive your photos. They’re included in every package.
Do you photograph formal family portraits at weddings?
Yes, definitely! We typically do the immediate family photos right after first look, an hour before ceremony. This way you and your family can enjoy cocktail hour with your guests. We can also do more family photos during cocktail hour if you’d like.
What do you wear to weddings?
Sometimes some fun socks, but besides those, we like to blend in with the guests. Typically this means we wear dark suits (blue, black, brown), and we’re always down to dress the theme or requested colors. There are photos on our about page that show what we look like at weddings (the casual looks are at engagement sessions).
Do you have business insurance?
Yes, definitely. If your venue needs a COI, let us know & we'll send it over.
So, how does this whole thing work?
We have a simple 4-step process:
If we’re a good fit, we’ll reserve your date with a signed digital contract.
We’ll be by your side finalizing details, then celebrating + documenting.
You’ll receive your gallery of photos.
Do you have an opinion on the timeline?
Yes! We really strive for you to enjoy your wedding day feeling relaxed & having fun, and the best way for this to happen is to prep with a solid timeline. We'll collaborate on a timeline with you & your other vendors so your day flows smoothly & you receive everything you want. It’s important to us that you enjoy your day, so we make sure to plan ahead of time to make that happen.
Do you charge a travel fee?
We include travel for weddings within 150 miles of DTLA—no extra fees, no surprises.
For locations beyond that, we customize travel fees based on distance and logistics. Typically, this includes $1 per mile beyond the 150-mile radius, plus lodging if an overnight stay is necessary.
What resolution and format are the photos you deliver?
We deliver high-resolution JPEG images suitable for both printing and digital use. Each image is exported at 300 DPI (dots per inch), ensuring print quality. The pixel dimensions typically allow for prints up to 30 inches on the long edge without any loss of detail. If you have specific size requirements or need different formats, feel free to let us know.
How many stories have you been part of?
We have photographed over 500 stories since 2014.
How / when do I book you?
To reserve us for your date, we do a contract signing + a retainer fee. This can all be done digitally through email or in person over coffee/drinks. Couples book us anywhere between 6-14 months out, but we’re also down for a spontaneous 1-week notice.
How do I ask another question that’s not here?
