You are going to enjoy working with us! You will spend more time with your wedding photographer than any other professional you work with so this is important. We are fun, easygoing, and flexible. On the day of your wedding, you will probably forget we are even around. And then when you see your photographs for the first time you will be amazed at how thoughtfully and thoroughly we have captured your day.

Dara's love for photography began at ten years of age while living abroad in Germany. Travelling with her family, camera in hand, she was encouraged to photograph while exploring new cultures. Dara made her first pinhole camera at fifteen and from there realized her passion pursuing a degree in Photographic Art & Technology

Kevin could write about how he can not recall living life without a camera in his hand since he was a little boy or how he is a 5th generation photographer but that would not be true. The truth is that his love for individuals and their life stories mixed with his passion for the creative process brought him to his first camera for a summer camp job he took upon graduating from College, which lead to photography school (instead of getting his MBA), then to starting his photography business 5 years ago. Kevin is the type of guy that will say one short sentence out of no where and it will make you think about how simple life really can be if you let it. He is not only one amazing photographer but what has always stood out is that he is an amazing and inspirational person that makes everyone around him better.
