We're Michael & Laura, a husband and wife photography team based in Richmond, VA who love to travel. We're parents, pitbull lovers, insane dancers, obsessed with avocados, raising chickens in the city, and have been shooting weddings together since 2011.
We are so excited to talk with you more about your wedding! After you've reviewed our collections, message us and we can set up a time to chat and answer any questions you may have! We know wedding planning can be stressful, but we hope we can make this part of the process fun and simple.

We’ll also be sending you resources to help you with every part of your wedding day, and all the days leading up to it! Questionnaires will be sent throughout our time together so we can serve you the best way we can.
We’ll provide you with a suggested timeline and walk you through creating a solid plan – because your timeline will drive your day. In fact, whether you book us or not, here is a full printable timeline workbook to help you.
Your day will be captured fully in two points of view. Our online gallery will organize your engagement and wedding on one online site that you can easily download from, share, and have backed up online for years!
We love working with you to create a perfect timeline. But here's a little guide and template to help you get stared.
You're not in this alone. We've been to A LOT of weddings and would love to help with anything you need. Here's a start..
We want to be as transparent as possible and think it's really important you see a sample of a full gallery so you know exactly what to expect.
A spring wedding at Upper Shirley Vineyards with an outdoor ceremony and ballroom reception. Engagement session at Maymont Park in Richmond.
An early fall wedding at the Market at Grelen in Blue Ridge and engagement session in DC at Franklin Park.
A church wedding and reception at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Marble Hall with an engagement session in Downtown Richmond. (Their puppy made an appearance at both!)
After all this, we won't be able to bare to say goodbye - so please, please stay in touch. We've rarely gone through this process without coming out the other end feeling like we've made new friends.. and we hope it's the same with you.
Shoot us an email and we can set up a time to talk. Let us know if you prefer a phone call or video chat. We are up for whatever makes you most comfortable!
After our chat, we will send over a quote and contract. Once we're official, a client portal will be sent to you so all your information is stored in one convenient place.
We'll help you pick the perfect location and outfit. The engagement session is a fun time for us to get to know you better and for you to get comfortable in front of the camera.
We will check in with you throughout your planning process and try to provide you with helpful resources to make it as simple and fun as possible.
Before the wedding day we will set up a quick video chat with you to answer questions and review your timeline and questionnaire so we are set to go for the wedding day!
After giving y'all a huge hug we will start by shooting details. Laura will stay with the bride, and Michael will head to the groom. We'll follow the timeline we set up and act as your eyes throughout the wedding day.
We will post a sneak peek within 24 hours, the blog post in 2 weeks, and deliver your full online gallery within a month. After you receive your gallery, we will get started on designing your album.
No pressure, friend. Booking a wedding photographer is a HUGE decision. We get it. But if you'd like to chat it out and see if we are a good fit, shoot us a message. We'd love to hear from you.
We aim to deliver images that are lasting and beautiful. But that's what makes us the same as every other photographer.
What makes us different is that we strive to create an experience where you feel loved, well served, and taken care of every step of the way. We want to show up on the wedding day feeling like good friends, not just vendors. We want you to feel comfortable and have fun throughout our entire time together.
We typically deliver about 100 images an hour. There are several things that factor into this, but we take being your eyes on the wedding day seriously and so we deliver large galleries.
You'll see a sneak peek within 24 hours, your blog post will be up in 2 weeks, and you'll receive your full gallery within a month.
We've been shooting weddings since 2011. We are a licensed business with liability insurance.
You'll receive a client portal with your invoice, contract, quotes, and details all stored easily and securely in one place. Contracts can be signed digitally and payments can be made online.
We duplicate all images we shoot so they are as protected as possible. After your session images are kept both in the cloud and locally stored.
There's no right or wrong question. We'd love to set up a time to chat and answer all your questions. Feel free to ask us as many as you can come up with.. we want you to feel totally comfortable.
But if you aren't sure what questions to ask.. we went ahead and answered all of the Knot's "Important Questions to Ask Wedding Photographers Before You Book" in an audio blog and created a series of reels to help you out.
The next step is to set up a time so we can meet and answer any questions you may have.
Shoot us an email and we'll find a time that works.
Let's be friends
