Hi Colleen & Graham
It was so good talking with you. I got off that call already picturing the day, which does not always happen the first time around.
Here is what we heard matters most to you:
- Cocktail hour, your favorite part of any wedding, with all of your people mingling in one place
- Family coming down from Massachusetts and friends flying in from Michigan and California
- The candid in between, like that photo from Emma's wedding you did not even know was being taken
- A mix of digital and film, so the day still feels timeless years from now
I want to be straight with you about how this works, because it is the part most studios are vague about. Jalyssa will be the one behind the camera on your wedding day. She is our lead associate photographer, she trained under me, and she shoots in our exact style. Then every frame comes back to me and I edit your gallery myself. So the person in the room is Jalyssa, and the look you fell in love with on this site is still mine.
There are two honest reasons couples end up here. Sometimes my own calendar is already gone for your date. Sometimes the associate collections simply fit the budget better. Either way you are not getting a lesser version of this. You are getting the same eye, the same editing, and a photographer I trust enough that she is shooting my own wedding.
What we are watching for all day is the in between. Your mom the second she sees you. The hand squeeze halfway down the aisle. The friend who laughed so hard they had to sit down. Those happen once, and they do not wait for a camera to get into position.
Below you will find three collections. Take a look whenever you are ready.
What I Am Actually Building For You
Moments, Not Poses
The portraits matter and we will get them. But the photos you will keep coming back to are the ones nobody arranged. I keep my head on a swivel all day so the real ones do not slip past while we are lining something up.
A Day You Get To Live
You should get to the end of the night having actually been at your own wedding instead of running it. I stay ahead of the moments so you never have to manage them, and when you need direction I give it quietly and get out of the way again.
Edited To Last
True to color and true to the room you were standing in. Not a filter that will date the whole gallery in three years. When you pull these up on your tenth anniversary they should still look like the day, not like the year they were taken.

Why This Fits You
The Unposed Ones
Your favorite photo of the two of you is from Emma's wedding, watching their first dance, and you did not even know it was being taken. That is the whole approach. A second photographer is always working the room, so the best frames of your day are the ones you never saw us take, on digital and on film.
Everyone In One Room
Your family is coming down from Massachusetts, and friends are flying in from Michigan and California. Two photographers means your people get covered, not just the two of you. While one of us is with you, the other is catching the reunions, the hugs, and the tables you did not get to sit at.
Camera Shy, Not Camera New
You both said you kind of hate getting your picture taken, and Graham knows his way around a camera himself. So portraits stay quick and easy. A first look at the church gets the formals done early, with clear direction and no stiff posing, and then we get out of the way.
Cocktail Hour And The Dance Floor
Cocktail hour is your favorite part of any wedding, and Graham said the one photo he would want is the two of you having fun on the dance floor with everyone around you. We stay through the end of the night with a camera on the room, from the shaded cocktail hour outside at Ray's on the River to the very last song.
A Catholic Ceremony, Covered With Care
Your ceremony at Holy Spirit Catholic Church is the one part of the day that does not get a second take. Jalyssa has photographed plenty of Catholic weddings, so she knows the flow of the rite, where to stand so she never pulls attention from the altar, and when to move and when to stay perfectly still. With a ceremony instead of a full Mass, every minute counts, and a second photographer means we have your faces and your families' reactions at the same time.
Doing your first look at the church also means your portraits and family photos are finished before cocktail hour, so you get to walk into Ray's on the River and actually be at the party.
The Film Side Of Your Day
You told us you love both the digital shots and the film shots, so every collection here includes real 35mm film. It is the same kind of film your parents got married on: warm color, soft grain, and a feeling you cannot fake with a filter. Film is at its best on the unposed moments, the laughing, the dancing, and your people all in one room, which is exactly what you two said you care about most.
Every roll is developed and scanned at a professional lab here in Atlanta, and I hand correct every scan myself before it lands in your gallery next to your digital images. The Home Video includes 2 rolls, The Feature Film includes 4, and The Directors Cut includes 8, roughly 50, 100 and 200+ finished film frames.
“When my husband and I started wedding planning, we decided that our first priority was photography and videography and that it would be our biggest investment for the wedding. It was all worth it. Pictures and videos is all you get after any special event for your memories, so please make sure you invest in this and I swear you will never regret it.”

Every image from the day that is worth keeping, edited and delivered in an online gallery. Not a curated set of forty favorites while the rest sit on a hard drive somewhere.
You get printing rights, so you can order albums, frames and gifts wherever you want. Share the link with family and they can download their own copies.
About The Engagement Session
We meet up before the wedding, just the two of you and the camera, and we spend an hour together. Part of it is practical. By the time your wedding day comes around, being photographed already feels normal, so nothing about the day feels like a production.
The bigger part is that I get to learn how you two actually are with each other before it matters. Who leans in first. What makes the other one laugh. That is the thing I am watching for all day on the wedding day, and it helps to have seen it once already.
Sneak Peeks Within 72 Hours
A set of edited images lands in your inbox within 72 hours of the wedding, while everyone is still talking about it. You will have something real to post before the group chat goes quiet.
Your full gallery follows within two months, edited the same way. With The Directors Cut it moves to the front of the line and lands within two weeks.
Personalized Add-Ons
Additional Hour of Coverage
Wedding days run long, and the last hour is usually the loosest one. An extra hour means we are never watching the clock while the dance floor is still full.
Four More Rolls of 35mm Film
More film means more of those frames with the grain and warmth you cannot fake in an edit. Four more rolls, shot on the day, with every scan hand corrected by me.
Weekend Engagement Session
Already included in The Directors Cut and The Feature Film, so this is for The Home Video. An hour together before the wedding so the camera feels normal by the time it counts.
Rehearsal Dinner or Day After Coverage
The night before is when the toasts get honest and both families finally end up in one room. With so many people traveling in, covering your rehearsal dinner or a day after brunch means you keep the whole weekend, not just the wedding day.
Prioritized Editing
Already included in The Directors Cut. Your gallery moves to the front of the line and lands within two weeks, so you are reliving the day while it is still fresh instead of waiting through the full editing timeline.
“Josh stayed the whole day into the night and seamlessly blended in with everyone. He contributed to a fun night with his energy, and overall was my go to person for the day.”
Elizabeth Jalali
The Person Behind The Camera
Jalyssa is our lead associate photographer, and she is the one on camera for most of our weddings. She is trained by me and shoots in our exact style, but what really sets her apart is her energy. She keeps the whole day light and fun, and even the camera shy families end up laughing in front of her lens. She will give you warm, clear direction all day long. She has photographed plenty of Catholic weddings and shoots film herself, so she knows the flow of a church ceremony and how to capture it in a way that feels timeless.
Every gallery she shoots comes back to me for editing, so what you receive is the same nostalgic, timeless look you fell in love with on this site.
What Makes Us Different
Natural Direction
Most photographers either over direct or disappear completely.I create a balance of guidance and freedom so you feel comfortable, confident, and still fully yourselves.
Detail Awareness
Most couples do not realize how much small things affect the final result.I actively watch for positioning, lighting, and small distractions so your photos feel polished without extra effort from you.
Edited By Josh
Most studios hand your gallery to whoever shot it.Every image Jalyssa takes comes back to me. I edit your gallery personally, true to color and true to the room, so it still looks right on your tenth anniversary instead of dated.
In Their Own Words
What Happens Next
We Talk It Through
We hop on a quick call where I walk you through each collection, explain why I am recommending them based on your day, and answer any questions you have. We customize if you need it.
I Send The Paperwork
Once you are ready, I send over a booking link with your contract and invoice. Everything in one place, nothing to chase down.
You Sign And Place The Retainer
A $1,000 retainer officially secures your date. It comes off your total, so it is not an extra cost. If you would rather pay your collection in full with the retainer, that comes with 10% off.
Your Date Is Locked In
That day is yours. From there we start planning the parts that make it feel like you.
We Celebrate
And maybe pop some bubbly. Then we are off to the races.

Take Your Time With It
Whether you choose our team or someone else, I want you to end up with a gallery that brings you right back to what mattered most. How it felt to hold each other close, to laugh with your people, and to celebrate something that only happens once. But if you read through this and thought, this is us, we would be honored to tell your story.
When you are ready, tell me which collection feels closest and we will go from there. If none of them fit exactly, we will build the one that does.
