Hi, We’re Andrei & Kelly
Photography is our passion. We love capturing raw authentic moments between couples, families, parents snuggling with their newborns, and everything in between. We believe in the gift of good photos that last for a lifetime, there for you on your good and bad days, saving memories for years to come – a lasting legacy.
Our style has been years in the making, a collection of all of our experiences in learning and growing in photography over the past 8 years. We have been interns and associate shooters for other photographers, done several online photography courses, did a mentorship with one of our favorite photographers on the west coast to learn the ins and outs of editing, and have captured hundreds of photo sessions and weddings. It has been a journey of learning and growing in our love and skill for photography, and we’re still constantly looking for ways to grow and improve.
Our style is romantic and elegant, with golden tones. Any chance we get, we want the sun to be in our photos, but we can still make lots of photography magic even on a cloudy day. Warm images breathe warmth and life into the photo and into the people.
We put great care into every single image we edit. Unlike other photographers who apply a preset and batch edit their photos quickly, we digitally hand brush each image before moving on, making sure we absolutely love each photo. Our goal is to hand-touch each image to make it look like a work of art that you could hang on your wall.
We love telling couples’ love stories through photo + film and couldn’t be more honored by the amazing privilege it is to have walked alongside so many brides and grooms for the past five years of capturing weddings together.
We’ve been happily married for over 7 years. We know what a wedding day feels like. We know what it’s like to want all the different special moments and seasons of your life captured in a photograph that you can look back on and remember all of the good times.
We’re not just a glorified camera trigger, we’re people who have been through it all and know what it feels like to be on the other side of the camera. We show up to support you, to make sure you’re taken care of, to encourage you, and to capture your special memories as if they were our own. We care deeply about every session and every wedding that we capture and we hope that you feel that when we work with you.
Our Values
We are people of strong values and believe it’s important to know who you’ll be spending your big day with. Whether it’s our personal lives or professional lives, we uphold the following values consistently.
Love
We believe love is a cornerstone to all of our values. We first and foremost believe in loving and serving God, and then loving and serving others. To love and serve is what we were placed on this earth for. Love, many times, looks like service and sacrifice. When we love people, we treat them with kindness and compassion. It is through allowing love to lead us that we are able to to show up with excellence and provide an experience that truly helps couples feel taken care of.
Family
Our goal is to capture the connection, safety, and joy of families coming together. Family is an anchor in our lives and it is our goal to help create a safe space for families to connect. We believe family comes first, we believe in taking care of our family, being there for one another, being present for one another, investing into relationships, making sure we are healthy as a family and as a couple because it influences everything else we do in life.
Excellence
We show up giving 100% to each couple. We work hard to provide incredible images and an unforgettable experience. Each wedding and session is carefully and thoughtfully captured. We show up with a game-plan, whether that’s through carefully crafting the timeline, scouting out locations, or coming prepared with the right gear. We also invest in growth opportunities, such as courses, mentorships, and coaching, so that we can continue to improve the quality of our work and the experience that we provide.
Beauty
We value things that look good and that are designed with intentionality and aesthetics. We believe that it’s not just beauty for beauty’s sake, but that when things are elegantly and aesthetically designed or arranged, it speaks of value to the person who experiences it. We believe beauty and aesthetics are good for the soul. We also love the beauty of nature and try to photograph people in beautiful and epic landscapes, or beautiful and elegant venues. We strive to capture the beauty in both the small and big moments.
Growth
We strive to grow in every area of life. We invest in professional growth opportunities to elevate our skills and quality of work. We also invest a lot of resources into our health; mental, emotional, and physical. We believe that mental and emotional health is foundational for good quality of life and relationships. When we are healthy we are able to show up for each couple better. It allows us to be more calm and more present throughout each wedding day so we can be a calming guide.
Storytelling
We believe that everyone has a unique story, so there is no cookie-cutter way to do things. We value each individual couple for their unique story and try to capture that. We go beyond a shot list and capture the naturally unfolding story on their wedding day. The photos we capture create memories that can be passed down and with them they carry stories of the love between couples and families.
