Daniel
Why do you love photography?
I went to school for photography and learned all about the technical side of lighting. There I learned to mix it with posing, and a fun environment while taking photos. It's overall an art; and therefore subjective to the people viewing it. Finding the right stye and posing to mix with incredible light is a mental puzzle I can't get enough of. My favorite thing to hear from couples is that they absolutely loved the engagement photos and simply cannot wait for the wedding photos!
Photography specialties:
Weddings, Head-shots, Corporate/Event, Pets, Product, High School Seniors
Favorite place to vacation:
Anywhere with mountains, be it summer or winter, but most of all Scotland. The beauty of the Scottish Highlands is something I'll never forget.
What do you do for fun?
I'm a huge extrovert and love being around people, be that camping, game nights, or bonfires. I'm also very much into rollerblading and learning to play the viola.
Something about me you should know is:
My best work comes from having a block of time dedicated to just the people I'm working with. If you want stunning photos then setting aside an appropriate block of time in your event is a must, but it's an investment you won't regret!
Jake
Why do you love photography?
I'm at my best when I get to pair my technical expertise with the artistry of telling a visual story for people who truly care for each other. I love the feeling I get when I look at the back of the camera and just know that photo is going to end up on someone's wall!

Anywhere new. I love experiencing other cultures and ways of life. I feel exposure expands our empathy.

I love cooking and cross stitching, checking out new restaurants with friends and enjoying a glass of wine on our porch watching all the neighborhood dogs pass by.
Something about me you should know is:
I am very laid back and go with the flow but will also make sure things get done. I'll fix your hair, straighten boutineers, keep dresses looking great while also keeping groomsmen, bridesmaids, family, whomever in line and on time. Photographers wear many hats on wedding days and I'm here for all of them.
