Everyone has a story that can be told - and everyone should be able to tell it, beautifully.
Being on camera can be hard! But it doesn’t have to be. With respect, kindness, a little humour, and an easy-going (yet well-prepared) team behind you, your true self can shine – and enjoy it too.
Life Events
Most people don’t love being in front of the camera. Commemorating your wedding, your maternity, your growing family, your newborn, or other life should be fun! And your photography or videography choice should make it easy to keep those memories forever. We are those story-tellers.
Corporate
People connect with people. In your case, your client connects with you and your business. But you may not think it’s such a good time getting in front of the camera to connect with your target audience. We’re here to help share your story and your message for your prospective clients. We help make it easy.
Storytelling
Your organization has important messages to share with the public, but lacks the means to do it. What you need is a team that will collaborate with you, helping make your vision come to life – all while having fun, together.
Our aim is to have our clients say 'You made that easy!'
And it happens regularly.
You may have tried shooting and editing your own photo or video stories…so you know it takes a lot of time, knowledge, experience, and artistry to do it justice.
Or maybe having your photo taken or being interviewed is quite uncomfortable for you.
Your story needs a team dedicated to planning, capturing, and editing your visual story to make it truly memorable. Combining our knack for helping camera-shy people be themselves in front of our lenses with our artistry, systems, processes, and people, we are the team that can make this possible for those who thought it wasn’t.
You need help getting the photos and videos that really capture YOUR story - not someone else’s. We are here to collaborate.
01
Discover
Your idea, vision, and message are the star of the stories we tell – so we take the time to understand them – and together imagine what is POSSIBLE…not tell you what is not.
And that all starts with a Discovery Call
02
Collaborate
Your message and vision dictate how your story get told. Once we are booked, we work with you to figure out the very best ways to do that! We brainstorm locations, subjects, shot lists, mood, theme, style, gear, and think about the story arc. Leaving room for pleasant surprises!
03
Plan & Execute
Once we have a plan, we put all the pieces in place to make it a success – from booking and packing the gear as needed, pulling permits, creating question lists, brainstorming shot techniques, location scouts, staffing, etc.
04
Review
Only a fool assumes they know everything – as every client is different, so our process is required to be flexible and adapt to the unexpected. We take your feedback as a vital part of our ongoing growth as your “friends behind the lens”.

How long does wedding photography or videography take?
Wedding couples have no way of knowing how long they need their media team. We have built this post and a tool to help.
Standard Wedding Photography Group Poses
we thought it would be helpful to any prospective bride and groom out there, to have a resource to know what the most popular groupings are, and some of the less popular ones too.
