YOUR FUTURE PHOTOGRAPHERS

We are Diana & Brooks, extroverted introverts. (aka ambiverts).

We thrive on intimate, personal and meaningful interactions, but also have the ability to step up and control the chaos.

Our ability to help our couples forget about the camera has allowed us to document some of the sweetest interactions and the most natural candid moments. What does this have to do with you? 

Well, if you’re like us, you might not feel super comfortable in front of the camera. Maybe you don’t like to be the center of attention? We’re right there with ya! We’ll give you guidance and direction the whole time (a.k.a. we’ll tell you exactly what to do with your hands). 

We cherish good times and want to help make you look and feel good while having fun taking pictures on your wedding day.
