What We do


Yo, lovebirds. Let’s cut the crap. No stiff poses. No awkwardnesses or weirdnesses here. Just you, your crew, and the kind of moments that make you wanna high-five life.


We’re talking about the real stuff. The big, snort-laughs, the happy tears, the “holy shit, we just got married!” grins. Because when you look back on your wedding, we don’t want you thinking, Wow, we look like strangers in a magazine. We want you thinking, Damn, that was one of the best days of our lives.


And since we’re in this together all day, we’re not just your photographers. We’re your hype squad, chaos coordinators, and probably the ones egging you on to take that extra tequila shot before the dance floor opens.


So, let’s do this. Let’s make it epic, unfiltered, and full of moments that actually matter.

Because this isn’t just your wedding. It’s a legend in the making.

How we do


We shoot a combination of digital and film images. We use the very best equipment for both and each have fantastic qualities that we absolutely love. Digital is essential for being able to catch so many candid moments, which is a key element in our approach. We want to be able to tell the full story of your day in pictures, and digital allows for that.


Film is just so dreamy, with an unmatched warmth and feeling and a beauty that is impossible to replicate. It is a very expensive medium now, so the amount of film shots we deliver is limited, but we can adjust the overall ratio of film photos - let's chat about it!


We shoot on all formats, but mostly 35mm Canon SLR/Yashica Point and Shoot, 120 film Hasselblad and Polaroid instant film.

Why we do


Between the two of us, we’ve got 20 years of experience behind the lens. Josh kicking it old school with film, Katie running the digital game. And as a couple of fun-loving, slightly weird, totally down-for-anything humans, we thrive on capturing the wild, the unexpected, the beautifully offbeat. But at the heart of it all? It’s about the real moments. The ones that pull you back in time and make you feel every bit of the magic all over again.


We’re not here to tell you how a wedding “should” look. You set the vibe, we’ll capture the story. Wanna strut down the aisle in a miniskirt and Converse? Do it. Thinking about rolling into your reception on a motorcycle? Now we’re talking. And listen, if Uncle Jim’s about to crack a beer before his speech, best believe we’re hyping him up! Because this is your day, your way.


Life’s too short for boring. Let’s make some memories that hit different.

where we do


In short: we'll travel anywhere. We base ourselves out of Ontario, Canada + Vancouver, BC in North American summer and then in sunny Nelson, New Zealand for most of Dec-Feb.
