Photography and Videography

You want your photos and videos to feel true, not trendy. You want to trust the team behind the camera, knowing they’ve got your back no matter what happens. That’s us.  We’re Jodi & Bryan, a husband-and-wife photo-video team.

We blend bold, dramatic imagery with a calm, detailed approach so your wedding day feels as good as it looks. This isn’t just photography.  It’s peace of mind, real connection, and photos you’ll still love 20 years from now.

“We cannot recommend them enough and will never use another photographer.”

Real People. Real Emotions.
Nothing over done.

We’re opposites in the best way. One of us is calm and observant. The other leads with energy and heart. We’re not just co-workers, we’re soulmates. We have 6 kids, and we know how to work together. 

We’re a wedding photo-video team that’s experienced, prepared, and here to make sure your photos reflect exactly how your day felt. We believe photography should be easy, human, and honest and that’s exactly what we give our couples.

“I can’t tell you how many times my groom leaned over and whispered ‘wow, they are fantastic’ during our wedding.”

-Brittany

We love dramatic light, true-to-life color, and catching real emotion without asking you to fake it. Our work is clean, colorful, and classic in the truest sense — not because we use trendy filters, but because we shoot with intention. If you want your wedding photos to feel bold, not boring — you’re in the right place.
