ABOUT US
WELCOME, FRIENDS
It’s a pleasure to meet you.
wedding storytellers
Hello! We’re Brian and Joelle, a husband-and-wife team with over 10 years together capturing the love stories of extraordinary couples.
Being together as a couple over time creates a unique connection—a kind of mind-meld where you finish each other’s sentences, and sometimes, it’s almost uncanny.
That’s exactly how we approach telling your story. We’ve developed a deep intuition for one another, for our couples, and for the world around us. On your wedding day, we’ll be in sync, anticipating those precious moments before they even happen. This allows us to be in just the right place, at just the right time, capturing each fleeting, beautiful moment seamlessly as it unfolds.
Origin Story
where it all began
I’m Brian, and I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, in a family of artists. My father was a master jeweler, and my mother an interior decorator. Surrounded by creativity, I was naturally drawn to the arts, but I also had a deep love for nature.
It all started on the first day of college when I enrolled in a Black and White Photography class. I picked up my father’s vintage SLR camera, the same one he had used in college, and in that moment, I was hooked. I immediately fell in love with photography and the powerful way it could tell stories. Right then and there, I knew this was the path I wanted to follow.
After completing graduate school, I dove headfirst into the world of weddings, and I’ve never looked back.
Our Love Story
boy meets girl
Brian met Joelle during a business trip to Colorado, and our paths crossed in the most serendipitous way. We randomly bumped into each other in the parking lot of Garden of the Gods, both heading to go rock climbing. We call it “our 5-minute window.” That evening turned into our first date, and just fourteen months later, we were married on a mountainside in Montana, followed by two unforgettable days in Glacier National Park capturing our wedding portraits.
During our long-distance relationship, Joelle would join Brian to photograph weddings, and we quickly realized we had something truly special. After we were married, Joelle made the decision to join the business full-time, and we’ve been photographing weddings together ever since—now, for over 10 incredible years.
