Stories
Every wedding here is shown from start to finish, in the order it happened, the way you’d get it.
Frames from this year
Twelve frames from this year’s weddings and sessions, each from a whole day we delivered.
Prices
Counted in hours on the day. Both of us come to anything longer than three.
Elopement
One of us, about 250 photos, the first 40 in 48 hours
Wedding day
Both of us, 600 to 800 photos in six weeks
Weekend
The welcome dinner the night before, then 10 hours on the day
Portraits
Studio, couples or families, galleries in ten days
Two photographers at every wedding.
June works the room and the people in it. Sami waits for the second before something happens. We’ve photographed 212 weddings since 2017, and we take 26 a year at most, so both of us can be at every one.

The day
Both of us, all day
From getting ready to the last song.
48 hours later
The first 40
Enough to send everyone on Monday.
6 weeks later
The whole wedding
600 to 800 photos, and an album if you want one.
Kind words
We worried about the timeline for months. On the day June just took twenty minutes while everyone sat down for dinner, and that’s the photo on our wall now. The rest of the night we forgot they were there.
Mara and Joel
An orchard near Germantown, June 2026
Sami was on the dance floor with us at eleven and still caught my grandad mid-spin. The gallery came in five weeks and we’ve watched it start to finish three times.
Dana and Theo
A barn in Hurley, October 2025
It snowed the whole time and nobody minded. We read our vows, laughed, and Sami walked back down with us to the cabin. It felt like a friend was there.

From the journal
A wedding-day timeline with room for portraits
Where the twenty minutes for portraits come from, and why we take them while your guests sit down.
Why we take 26 weddings a year
Both of us at every wedding means saying no to most Saturdays. Here’s the arithmetic.
What to wear for a studio portrait
Plain colours, clothes you’ve worn before, and one thing to leave at home.
