GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHERS
We are so excited that you are interested in choosing us to document your special day! Like Josiah & Steph, we believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day.
Our entire goal as wedding photographers is to make sure that you're having the most fun and joyful experience you could possibly have. We believe that how you feel in your photos directly correlates to the happiness you feel when you look at those photos years down the road. We are wedding photographers based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We love shooting in beautiful outdoor locations especially around sunset. We strive to create beautiful images that are classic, natural and tell the story of each day.
We were married 2017 and live in Drexel Hill, PA with our two puppies – Raena and Niko. When we’re not photographing weddings, we love tackling some home renovation projects, hanging with the pups, or just kicking back on the couch and watching a good movie. We’re so thankful that we get to capture the happiest days of peoples lives for a living and hope we get to be a part of yours as well!
"Ryan and Courtney were amazing to work with! Photoshoots can often feel awkward and forced, but it was the complete opposite with them. With so many things to consider and think about leading up to and including the day of your wedding, we had nothing to worry about with Ryan + Courtney. Thank you so much for giving us perfect snapshots of memories we will certainly never forget."

I was beside myself with excitement when they confirmed that they would be able to travel to Georgia to photograph my wedding! Not only were they so wonderful and fun to work with, but my pictures are stunning! They worked so well with my 4 year old daughter and still managed to remain professional and did I mention how amazing the photos are! 100-star rating!

We absolutely loved how comfortable she made us feel with creating the most romantic and fun poses. Our photos Pinterest worthy, unique, fresh, crisp, clear, and amazing! We absolutely recommend for any engagement and wedding! Courtney and Ryan are a phenomenal couple with true, natural talent.

the process
How We do things
One way we ensure that our brides and grooms enjoy the best photographic experience possible is through forming a relationship with our couples. We try our best to make sure that all of our couples are the perfect fit for us before officially booking. They should connect with their photographer, trust them and be excited about the whole process with them! After booking, we love getting to know our clients through an engagement session that helps them warm up to the camera so that they are ready to rock and roll on the wedding day! By the time the wedding day arrives, our clients feel more like friends and that creates a safe and relaxed environment for photography!
If we are a great fit, the next step is to reserve your date with a signed contract and retainer. From there, we’ll begin planning your engagement session. There might be a few months in between your session and your wedding, but we’re always around to answer questions you have throughout the planning process (we know it’s a lot to think about!). About two months before the big day, we’ll check in again with a pre-wedding questionnaire to help us finalize the timeline, create the family formal shot list and to make sure we’re fully prepared to photograph your wedding. After the wedding, we’ll get down to editing your images! Once they’re edited, we will upload them to an online gallery that you can expect to receive between 4 and 6 weeks after your wedding.

Handcrafted Albums are the perfect way to remember your wedding day
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed linen bound albums come in a variety of colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents wedding photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on coffee tables.

engagement sessions
Or what we like to call "The Practice Session."
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. We do this for a living and we still always feel a little out of place when we have our photos taken every year.
We’re big fans of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 15 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why we’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is signficant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few weeks before the wedding.
All of our collections include a complimentary session.
Do You Have Insurance?
Yes! We are fully covered and if your venue requests a certificate of insurance, we will be sure to send them a copy before the wedding day.

Will You Travel For Weddings?
Absolutely! We love traveling! Photographing weddings has taken us to Colorado, Mexico, Jamaica, Michigan, California + a lot of the East Coast. We will build you a custom package for out of state or destination weddings.

How Many Photos Do You Deliver And When Will We Get Them?
We deliver all of your edited photos in a digital online gallery. There you'll be able to download high res print ready images on computers, tablets and smartphones. We deliver around 75-100 images per hour of shooting 4-6 weeks after your wedding day.

How Do I Book You?
All we need from you to officially be booked is a signed contract and retainer. We first want to make sure that we're a good fit for one another. Sometimes we can tell from our email correspondence with you, but if you'd like to hop on a phone call or meet in person, we'd love to do that as well!
