We estimate around 60-100 images per hour of coverage.

We shoot both film and digital throughout the entire day. Our galleries range from 10-15% film images vs digital. EX: If your gallery is 800 digital images, there will be around 80 film images.

We shoot a mixture of digital and film throughout the day. We shoot with 4-5 high end film cameras and 2-3 high end digital cameras. ALL moments such as your first look, family portraits, ceremony, first dances, etc are always shot on digital primarily. We use film as a secondary medium throughout those moments. Film scans will be added to your final gallery within 2-3 weeks of the day itself. Digital images are set within our typical turnaround time 8-10 weeks.

Drone photography is encouraged & executed when we have the appropriate weather & logistics to do so.

We do not work off a specific shots list or directly copy from photography inspiration. Our goal is to document the day how it unfolds and let your personality shine through the images.

In the past, we’ve seen extensive shots list or over curated mood board become overwhelming to the couple & us as photographers. We want the day to run smoothly and organically. We focus our energy on creating a great timeline to capture all of the photos our clients desire, while drawing inspiration from personal elements the couple has included in the wedding experience itself.

We do, however, request a family shots list / specific requested shots list from every couple.
