Documenting Memories with Our Signature

Romantic, Ethereal, & Impressionism-inspired Approach

Wedding & Elopement Photography

When it comes to love, we focus more on how it’s felt and remembered than how it’s seen. We strive to capture love in a way that feels so strong, so pure, and so true that it shines from the inside out. From big occasions to intimate celebrations, it would be our honor to witness, and a privilege to photograph.

Some important notes…

  • Our hearts sing when we travel, so please don’t hesitate to reach out even if you are on the other side of the world. While we are primarily based on the west coast (CA, OR, & WA), our work has taken us to destinations such as Florida, Hawaii, Texas as well as Vancouver BC, London & France.

    -

  • We typically book 9-12 months out for full day weddings, and 6-9 months out for portrait sessions.

    -

  • To most clients, we are more than just your wedding vendors. At some point of working together, we will step in as your planner, your stylist, your advisor, and oftentimes, your lifelong friends.

    -

  • We are artists first, photographer/filmmaker second, and business owners last. Our work is greatly influenced by our personal aesthetics and style, so we prioritize ensuring our clients and us are a good fit for each other before committing to working together.

Our dream clients love…

  • They love to keep themselves in style and appreciate attention to artful details. Colored couture gowns or tailored-to-fit tux, the perfect pair of designer shoes, or a delicate headpiece are all must-haves for their wedding day details.

  • They believe in true love, and want their special photographs to possess the same qualities as the fairytales of their dreams - Painterly, pastoral, and exquisite.

    And she must have flowers, always and always.

  • They travel for food, culture, memories, inspiration, and living life to the fullest.

  • She adores vintage finds with stories, old love songs, and jewelry passed down from her mother and grandmother. He has a keepsake box of ticket stubs, post cards, and love notes they’ve exchanged over the years.

  • They love taking nightly strolls together and having candlelit dinners on their anniversaries, as well as coming up with too many nicknames for each other and cuddling in bed while exchanging playful banters.

  • They value compassion, open-mindedness, and celebrating love for all couples, regardless of sexual orientation, race, or religious beliefs.

 
 
Driven by our innate passion for art and design, every wedding is an art project we want to feel proud of and never just a business transaction. We prioritize making sure that we and our clients are a good fit for each other when it comes to aesthetics, vision, style, and personality. There is so much time, thought, and effort that we put into our photo/film work, and we only take on a very selected number of sessions & weddings to make sure we can treat every client with upmost care and love.
 

How to work together…

  1. CONNECT & PROPOSAL

    If we are available for your inquired date, we will ask for more details about your vision and provide a proposal. For full day wedding inquiries, we offer a phone call or video consultation so we can learn more about each other and check if we are a good fit.

  2. CONTRACT & DEPOSIT

    We will prepare a contract based on everything we’ve discussed, which we will send to you for E-sign and then collect a date reservation fee. Once the contract & deposit is complete, our official planning process will start!

  3. PLANNING

    For weddings, expect to receive an 80-page planning guide book as well as a photography timeline guide to help you build an early foundation from the start. We will first send a series of emails to plan for your engagement session as soon as possible. About 2-3 months before your date, we will prepare a wedding day questionnaire so we can collect important information from you to keep everything organized for your big day. We will schedule a tour to check out your venue at some point, and we'll be working closely with your planner as well during the entire planning process.

    For portrait sessions, a custom portrait questionnaire will be sent to you to collect information such as preferences for location, outfits, styling, special editing requests etc. We will help coordinate with your makeup artist and florist if you chose to work with one.

  4. WEDDING DAY ARRIVAL

    For both weddings and portraits, we likely have already toured your venue / scouted the location ahead of time, but we will still arrive at least 30-60 minutes earlier than the contract start time to scout, double check the lighting, and confirm other details. For destination weddings, we arrive 1-2 full days before your wedding in case of travel delays or weather issues.

  5. GALLERY DELIVERY

    For weddings, we aim to deliver at least 40-50 sneak peek photos within 48 hours - Feel free to share the images with your friends and family whilst the excitement is still high! The full gallery will be delivered within 8-12 weeks for weddings and 4-6 weeks for portraits. Images can be easily downloaded and shared, prints and products can be ordered directly from the gallery shop, and you can favorite and hide images to control what you want the public to see / not see. If there are any revisions / edits you would like on specific photos, we are always here to listen and serve your needs.

Michelle is, without a doubt, the best photographer we could have asked for. Not only did she capture the most beautiful moments between my husband and I, but the photos turned out breathtakingly gorgeous! She was sweet and walked us through everything with us as it was our first time having photos taken professionally. She was kind, put us at immediate ease and had us laughing and being ourselves in no time flat. She made the whole day feel like magic. We can’t wait to work with her again in the years to come!

I loved working with Michelle! She was a great communicator as we set up the details of our engagement shoot. She was friendly, fun, and professional during our shoot. She had an insanely quick turn-around with the gallery and the photos turned out incredible. We're so happy with our experience. Thanks, Michelle. I'm so glad we met you!

We have honestly been struck speechless with how beautiful our photos are! Michelle captured so much love, beauty, and emotion in each photo. I keep looking at them and seeing new things. We couldn’t be happier. [Michelle] is such an amazing artist, photographer and all around wonderful person. We will definitely reach out with the next life event to get in front of [her] lens!

Michelle is detailed oriented and allowed for us to have a wonderful experience! My husband and I really appreciate how comfortable and supported she made us feel. I was surprised (in a good way!) at the level of communication that we had before and the amount of detail Michelle put in when deciding different portrait locations. As first-timers in getting professional photography taken of us, we couldn't have had a better experience. The photographs turned out even better than expected. When it comes to choosing a photographer to capture moments you hope to cherish for many years ahead, Michelle was the perfect choice!
