THE EXPERIENCE
Personality is key to deciding who you want to document your day.
Did you know that the person you spend the most amount of time with on your wedding day isn’t your wedding party or your family? It’s not even your spouse! It's actually your photographer and videographer. It's safe to say, you want to really like those people! You want to feel comfortable around them and trust them if you are going to be spending so much time with them on one of the most special days of your life. Our belief is that the more comfortable you are on your wedding day, the better quality the photos and film will be.
We pride ourselves on our ability to not only get along with our couples, but to put them at ease. We are very laid back people and we are able to help relieve that wedding day stress by being calm in high pressured situations and by being able to go with the flow. We want you to look back on your wedding day experience and say "I want to go back!" because of how you felt that day. We want you to feel comfortable and relaxed. The more relaxed you are, the better you can soak in the moments of the day.
WORRIED ABOUT BEING "AWKWARD"?
This is something we hear from so many of our couples. More than likely, you've just never had a professional guiding you and allowing you be yourself in front of a camera. You probably have put too much pressure on yourself to get the perfect angle or best smile in every photo. The reality is, you guys look best in all of your moments because this is your love story (even with the wind blown hair). The best part is, when people feel awkward, they tend to laugh and those usually end up being some of their favorite photos! So just let go, and embrace those awkward feelings
OUR STYLE
We like to describe our style of documenting your day as a blend of editorial and documentary: we like direction and will gently guide you into positions that feel comfortable to you, but we know when to quietly step back, and allow the natural beauty of the day to unfold. We love those unscripted, candid moments because they are some of the most treasured times of the day.
We want our work to stand the test of time, so we don't heavily edit our imagery. We like creamy skin tones, bright imagery, and tend to stay true to color, adding a bit a warmth and brightness to our edits for a timeless feel.
PHOTO OR VIDEO OR BOTH?
We are blessed to be a business that offers both photo and video. Already have a photographer? Great! Although we love capturing both aspects of the day for our couples, we book a lot of weddings where people choose just to book us for video. We love to work with other vendors, and do so very often. We are just happy to be a part of your wedding day in any way that we can!

FAQ
How long is your turnaround time?
We understand the anticipation of seeing your final product. The duration of our turnaround time is dependent on what time of year your wedding day falls on. On average, our turnaround time for wedding photos is 4-6 weeks and 8 weeks for wedding videos. We prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional imagery that hopefully allows you to be brought right back to that day.
How many images can we expect and what will the length of the wedding film be?
Depending on your chosen package, you could receive anywhere from 300-1,000 images. Wedding videos range anywhere from 3-10 minutes and this largely depends on the hours of coverage, events of the day, and the amount of speeches/audio snippets you want included in your film.
How long have you been doing weddings?
Alanna started photographing weddings in 2016. Jagger started filming weddings in 2018 (we both started in college). We have been doing weddings together full time for 5 years now!
When should I reach out to book?
As quickly as possible! Unfortunately, the amount of couples we have to turn away because someone has already booked us for that same date is so sad. We hate doing that! So as soon as you have a date in mind, please reach out!! We take on a limited amount of weddings per year so that we don't get behind on turnaround times and can focus as much attention on your photos/film as possible without being rushed. Summer and Fall dates fill up the quickest for us, whereas, the Winter and Spring are usually a bit slower.
Can we choose the music for our wedding video?
Because you are paying us to film your wedding, by law, the music for your video has to be licensed. If it is not licensed, it can be taken down on social media and we could also be sued for copyright issues. We license our music through musicbed.com. It has a huge library of music with a large variety of genres. You are welcome to go through the website yourself and find a song that appeals to you. However, most of our couples give us guidelines for what type of genre and vibe they want the music to be and then they allow us to have creative freedom from there. We also go over all of this in our questionnaire that we send out a month before the wedding date.
Do you travel?
YES. We love to travel and do it quite frequently. Currently we reside in Oklahoma, but we lived in Southern Utah for a while and consider it our second home, so you get a big discount if your wedding is there. Check out our travel page to see where we've been so far! Our goal is to travel to every state for a wedding. 18 down, 32 to go! If your wedding is in a state we have not yet visited, we would love to chat about potential discounted rates for you. We also have specific packages tailored for elopements and out of state weddings. We do not have added travel fees.
How long do you back up our photos and/or footage?
Even though we would love to hold onto your memories forever, it's not always possible. We always back up our photos and video footage in two places and we hold onto them as long as we can, but eventually we have to make room on our hard drives for more current weddings. We always like to emphasize the importance of downloading your photos and video(s) to a safe place and keep them backed up, because we will not always have them. Once we have sent you your final product, it is your responsibility to protect your memories from there! Before we do anything with your footage, we will reach out and make sure you have everything backed up. We also always offer the option to purchase your RAW footage from us, which we highly recommend doing!
What is the Full Story Edit?
The full story edit is basically every single clip of film that we captured on your wedding day edited together into one long video (usually at least 45 min long). On wedding days, we film from start to finish, but the portion of footage that makes it into your highlight film is only a fraction of the clips we took during the day. It is such a special way of looking back on your wedding day. You can watch it just as it was without any music or audio overlay. Think: home videos from the 90s :) You can purchase this from us for as long as we have your footage. It can also be added onto your wedding video package. We just feel that it is so important and special for you to have this in your hands!
