What is your photography style?
It's always hard to put a creative process and style into words but our photography style could be described as a combination of photojournalism, truthfulness, timeliness, and cinematic elements. We use cinematic techniques such as lighting and composition to bring the photos to life while traveling light, being quick on our feet and highly adaptable to situations.
We strive to capture moments that are true and tell stories by letting things naturally unfold. Our focus is on capturing candid moments over posed ones and we'll likely only step in to direct when we deem necessary. We also aim to ensure that your images accurately reflect the atmosphere of your day. If it's a sunny, blue sky, we want you to feel that in the photos. Conversely, if it's an overcast day, your images will appear more moody so you can remember how it really felt.
Our images are...
THOUGHTFUL AND INTENTIONAL,
yet NEVER FORCED OR STAGED
Natural and Candid
ADVENTUROUS And ARTFUL
vibrant

some faqs
01. Do you travel outside of Lake Tahoe?
Yes! Every year we travel across the country for a wedding or two and love it. It keeps us creative!
02. Do you include RAW files?
No. RAW files are an unfinished product. We only deliver fully processed images ready for you to enjoy.
03. What if the weather is bad?
We always try to embrace the weather as much as we can. Stormy skies, rain or snow can make for some truly magical images.
