The EXPERIENCE

Refined imagery, created with ease.

We invite you to explore our approach and what to expect, ensuring we’re the perfect fit for your vision. Your wedding photography experience should be seamless, effortless, and truly unforgettable—because the way you feel during your time with us is reflected in these photos that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

With a refined yet relaxed approach, we create an atmosphere where you feel at ease, allowing your most genuine moments to unfold naturally. Our goal is to provide an experience that is not only stress-free but also filled with joy, connection, and artistry—so that every image feels as timeless and meaningful as the day itself.

  • Our approach is rooted in capturing genuine, unscripted moments—the kind that evoke deep emotion and tell your story with honesty and artistry. You won’t find stiff poses or forced smiles here. Instead, we create a space where you can be fully present, allowing your most meaningful moments to unfold naturally.

    Think of us as the quiet observers, attuned to the fleeting glances, tender touches, and unspoken connections that make your wedding day truly unforgettable. This isn’t about perfectly arranged details or orchestrated poses—it’s about preserving the raw beauty of your love story as it happens. If your vision aligns with an intentional, documentary-style approach that values depth over perfection, we may be the perfect fit.

  • We believe in building genuine connections with our couples—because capturing your wedding day is about so much more than just taking photos. You are not just a client, and we are not just a vendor. We become invested in your story, ensuring that your experience is effortless, enjoyable, and deeply meaningful.

    Rather than simply documenting a checklist of the day, we create an environment where you feel comfortable, present, and truly yourself, allowing us to capture the purest memories. Many of our couples start the day feeling a bit camera-shy, only to leave saying how natural and effortless the experience felt. Photography should never feel stiff or uncomfortable—it should feel like an extension of the joy and celebration of your day. Let’s create something unforgettable together.

  • Photography should be more than just another item on your wedding checklist. Amidst the planning—choosing florals, selecting dresses, finalizing details—it’s easy to overlook that your photographs will be the one lasting piece of your wedding day. Long after the celebration ends, these images will hold the memories, emotions, and stories that will be cherished for generations.

    One of the most common regrets we hear from couples who prioritized price over quality is wishing they had invested more in their wedding photography. If you’re simply searching for the lowest price, we may not be the right fit—and that’s okay. You deserve a photographer who aligns with your needs, including your budget. Our focus is on working with couples who understand the timeless value of meaningful, artful imagery—because these photographs are not just for today, but for a lifetime.

  • We believe your wedding should be a true reflection of who you are—not a checklist of traditions that don’t resonate with you. Nothing inspires us more than couples who embrace their own vision, crafting a celebration that feels deeply personal and unforgettable. Too often, we hear couples say, “I wish we had done things differently,” and our goal is to ensure you never have that regret.

    Dreaming of exchanging vows at a music festival? Let’s make it happen. Planning a weekend backpacking adventure through the North Cascades, with your vows echoing over turquoise alpine waters? We’re in. Envisioning a bold, unconventional wedding look—like a hot pink dress or a striking green suit? We’re here for it. Whether you’re bar-hopping with loved ones in a foreign country before the big day or choosing an intimate elopement with your closest friends, we’re here to support and document every meaningful moment.

    Whatever your vision, it deserves to be captured in a way that feels true to you—so that decades from now, these images don’t just remind you of how your day looked, but of exactly how it felt. Your story, your love, your truth—that’s what we’re here to preserve.

  • We don’t label ourselves as one specific style, because every couple's story is so different. We make sure that the way we interact, shoot, and edit is reflective of who our couples are and how things actually felt. It’s a lot of small little things like this that go a long way. The artistic choices we make aren’t to benefit us because these are your memories, not ours. We focus on quality over quantity so we can create something together you’ll value forever. We aren’t “dark and moody” or “bright and airy”.

  • We take on a limited number of weddings and elopements each year, as well as only a select few couple sessions per month. This intentional approach allows us to give each couple the time, energy, and creativity they deserve. Having experienced the burnout of overbooking in the past, we know that quality suffers when we’re stretched too thin—and our couples deserve nothing less than our very best.

    For most of our couples, our relationship extends far beyond a single day. We often capture engagements, wedding weekends, anniversaries, and even family milestones in the years to come. Building deep, lasting connections is at the heart of what we do, and we want to be there to document your story as it unfolds. To honor this commitment and ensure a seamless experience with a fast turnaround time, we intentionally keep our calendar limited—so that when we work together, you have our full attention, creativity, and care.

With experience capturing weddings across diverse cultures and backgrounds, we bring invaluable insight to every celebration. From the must-dos to the things best avoided, we’re here to guide you—whether it’s navigating permits, maximizing your budget, or ensuring your day unfolds seamlessly. Our goal is to make the planning process stress-free, offering expert advice on everything from logistics to creating meaningful moments with your loved ones.

Envisioning an intimate garden wedding in your backyard? A breathtaking canyon elopement with just the two of you? Whether you’re exchanging vows at the back of your Jeep, in a centuries-old château in the South of France, or in the comfort of your childhood home, we’re here to help you bring your vision to life. As specialists in intimate weddings, we strike the perfect balance between editorial elegance and heartfelt nostalgia—so that every image feels both timeless and deeply personal. Wherever your love story takes you, we’ll be there every step of the way.

About the Photographers

Natural light photographers.

Guided by Earth, inspired by - soul -

We’re Bayley and Daniel, high-school sweethearts tapping into our love for art and need for travel - creating the photography due you see here. We were married in the middle of the global pandemic and have been photographing other couples all over the U.S. for almost 5 years together now.

Nature and our passion for exploring Mother Earth and the gifts she provides us with are what inspire us most. We are driven to create for couples whose love story takes them to the most unique places on the globe.

We take a refined, fine art approach to documentary wedding photography. Nothing perfect. Our mission is to deliver you an honest gallery of images that reflects your story in a nostalgic, organic way. 


We think our client work as an art commission, a collaboration between us and our couples. We approach capturing the story in a way that is honest and intentional to our couples, many of whom find us because they have their own creative side. We thrive in projects that are drenched in artistic intention and candid, organic moments of profound human connection. As a team, we both take photos on wedding days and Bayley takes photos during sessions. This allows us to capture the full story from different perspective. We’re able to split up and photograph different things happening at the same time (such as the two of you getting ready in different places, or portraits and cocktail hour going on at the same time). Our eye for art and composition is very unique, even from each other. It guarantees a one of a kind gallery, every time. Our system is seamless from booking, to planning, to wedding day, and after, so things run smooth as possible, every single time.


BAYLEY

As an artist, human rights activist and outdoor enthusiast, it’s no surprise I’ve pivoted more times than once in my adult life. I’ve had a camera in my hand one way or another my entire life and I couldn’t be more grateful to be able to say that photography, my passion, what sets my soul on fire, is my job. I find my inspiration in the quiet moments around me, whether that be the pine trees rustling in the wind on a sunrise hike or watching my best friend marry the man of her dreams.

I’m 27 now and feel as though I am right where I need to be. Photographing weddings brings me the type of soul satisfaction that most people probably never get to feel. I want to bring that feeling to you, too. My style is ever-evolving and I hope my clients see that in my work.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

All the questions you’ve ever wanted to ask…

answered

  • We like to send photo sneak peaks within 1 week of your wedding (sometimes, even the next 48 hours). You will receive the full, online gallery within 3-5 weeks! We believe that editing is half the magic in our art, so we spend a lot of time perfecting this. Generally speaking, we spend 60-80 hours JUST editing an avera ewedding gallery.

  • Most of the time, the amount of images is directly correlated to the amount of coverage you book. We live by the motto of quality over quantity, however we never cap the amount of images we deliver!

    Every single image we send you is intended to be a work of art, in and of itself. Your entire gallery is the storybook of your love and we strive to ensure every single little detail is captured and remembered authentically.

    A rough estimate of quantity is around 50 images per hour of coverage. A typical wedding with 12 hours of coverage has been averaging ~1,000 images in the final gallery.

  • HELL YEAH! We STRONGLY believe in printing your images because we promise - you will look at a physical copy of your wedding album 100x more than your online one. While the online gallery is great for sharing, storing, and safekeeping, we cannot stress enough how important it is to PRINT the images!

    When you want to look back on the most important day of your life with your grandkids, you will much rather flip through a physical album than swiping through a phone. So, yeah. Buy the album, get the prints, do it all.

    Straight from your online gallery. If you choose to print outside of the integrated print gallery, you will have to purchase a print release first. We prefer you use the in-gallery print services as they provide the absolute best quality.

  • Short answer: Absolutely not.

    Long answer: No, we don’t change our editing style and we won’t change it just because you ask. Our couples love us and our editing style and they have chosen to work with us based on our past works, their expectations, and our professionalism.

    You wouldn’t walk up to a realist painter and say “wow I love your work! Can you paint in an abstract style instead though?”

    Our editing is true to life and we aim to make every single gallery look as if you are RIGHT THERE in the picture. The colors and tones are natural and saturated and we keep the exposure as nature intended. We don’t consider ourselves to be “bright and airy” or “dark and moody”. Every single gallery has it’s own vibe and aesthetic that we match and expand on, making every image a true reflection of our time together.

  • The very first payment you make will be a non-refundable retainer. This retainer is 40% of the TOTAL package cost and is due within 7 days of receiving your contract and invoice.

    Your date is not booked in our calendar and can be filled on a first come first serve basis unless you have a signed contract and paid retainer.

    The remaining balance is due in full 2 weeks prior to your wedding date.

    We are proud to be extremely understanding and flexible with everyone, so we offer custom payment schedules. It is completely up to you how and when you pay, as long as your paid in full 2 weeks prior to your wedding date.

  • This is another hard no. We have only ever been asked this one time, but it was a no then, too. The contract we have in place was created and reviewed by a lawyer and is considered industry standard. The contract, though it might seem long and scary, is there to protect all of us.
