Introduction: We are a husband and wife photography team that has been photographing weddings together since 2008 and we photograph all of our weddings together!
What is your style?
Our style is a combination of photojournalism, which captures the natural moments of your day as the events unfold and lightly stylized portraits. When we stylize a portrait we are guiding your natural pose to flatter you and the emotion in the moment. We also take care to position ourselves at a distance that allows you to have an uninterrupted moment together. Our couples love this because it allows them time to experience the day as it unfolds. Wedding days move fast, you deserve to spend a few quiet moments with your love just being connected.
What is the difference between having two lead photographers and other studios that have one lead photographer and a second shooter?
A second shooter for many studios is often an assistant who carries equipment, holds lights for the primary shooter, is tasked with 2nd shooting during part of the day, and often is a temporary summer intern working for the studio. We are both lead photographers, which means we both can and have been the lead photographer for numerous weddings. We love photographing weddings together and have learned through our own years of marriage how to communicate so we can deliver a complete creative perspective for your wedding day.
Do you edit the photos?
Yes we edit all of our photos to ensure beautiful even color and skin tone. We think black and white photos are beautiful but if you aren’t a fan of B&W photography please let us know, also let us know if you love B&W photography and we will include a few more.
Do you limit how many photos you take?
No we do not limit the amount of photographs we take, this is perhaps the greatest benefit of photographing weddings with a digital camera. When Erik started photographing weddings he used film and was limited to the amount of photos he could take based on how many rolls of film he had in his camera bag. Now we use SanDisk Extreme 64GB Compact Flash & Secure Digital memory cards, these cards allow us to take more than 1500 photos per card! Film photographers are limited to 15-36 exposures per roll.
How many photos can I expect to receive from my wedding day?
All day weddings typically receive 700-900 retouched high-resolution digital photos on a custom USB with printing rights.
We are the husband and wife photography team, Erik & Alicia. We have been photographing weddings together since 2008. Our favorite thing about being your photographer is knowing you trust us to capture one of the most important days of your life. Our photos will become family heirlooms and passed down for generations.
The most common question we get asked is “How is it to work together, being married?” We love photographing weddings together! Working together as a husband and wife team keeps our marriage young, weddings remind us of our own vows through your promises. Our brides are convinced having two photographers for their wedding is essential so we always photograph weddings together. As we are both lead photographers which means we can be in two places at once actively working together to help guide your wedding day and capture those moments just one photographer would miss.
