"To capture insanely gorgeous images that memorialize true moments in people's lives. To create photographs & films of utmost importance to the viewer. To honor them above ourselves."
Our unrelentless mission:
Hi, I'm Selena
I started in this industry as an experiment of sorts: How can I utilize my skills as a visual artist to really serve someone? How can I make an impact?
​
I shadowed a friend on a couple of weddings & I was, in a word, home. I'll never forget the carefree smile on the first bride I ever shot. The unabashed joy, sweat, & twinkling purple lights on the dance floor. The whole space was buzzing.
​
Since then, I've dedicated my life to serving you, your beauty, your love, & your stories. I'm always in search of the present moment, the candid space between you where your emotions shine. And I'm obsessed with forever exploring our signature light & airy style of photography.
​
Each wedding is an opportunity for me to show up & honor someone's life. I love to point my camera in the direction of your world & reflect it back to you. And the relationship we build along the way is so integral to my work. Please, never hesitate to reach out during your planning process. I love to give tips on timeline creation, photo sessions within your day, and anything in between. I really live to be your wedding bff.

Hi, I'm Neil
Selena and I joined forces in the wedding industry by an accidental conversation about the differences between photo & video. How they're so often linked but deeply different. We eventually came to this conclusion:
Photo is a singular moment frozen into perfection & video is an actual reliving of that moment.
​
For giant moments in your life, I think the combo can be really powerful and honestly important. We wanted to serve our clients in a way that all avenues are offered for their big days. And we realized quickly that we could do that together.
​
So, I'm your main videographer for the day! I love all the small details that make up your larger story. A groom putting on custom cuff links in slow motion, the clinking of glasses across a room of toasts, your feet gently brushing against the dance floor. These are things that keep me excited to shoot year after year.
​
Some fast fun facts: I love rock climbing, homemade cocktails, and film photography. I may have a slight addiction to buying camera gear, but it's totally fine.
