We blend an unobtrusive documentary approach, with the editorial aesthetic of fashion and lifestyle photography.  Coming from a commercial background, we understand that clients have different aesthetics and expectations.  However, the desired end result for images is the same.  Clients want things to look their best!  They want imagery that not only engages the viewer, but that embellishes and showcases their “brand aesthetic”, in a sophisticated manner.  Your event may be of a personal nature, but it should not be approached with a lesser standard.  As a couple, what have you decided will be your event’s “brand aesthetic”?  Define its look, its feel, and visualize its memorability factor.
