  • About Us

    Jennifer Mae: "I am a graduate of UC Berkeley with a BA in Film and Media Studies. Photography and Video have been a passion of mine since I was only 11 years old. The thing that I love most about shooting weddings, is getting to know the couples and becoming friends in the process!

    Chris: "I am also a graduate of UC Berkeley with a BA in Film and Media Studies. I have worked in the entertainment industry for as long as I can remember. The thing that I love most about shooting weddings, may sound pretty cliche, but it's true. I love capturing one of the happiest days in someone's life."

  • Why do we shoot weddings?

    We love weddings! Everything about them! Each experience to us is fresh, new and exciting. We are definitely not the company that you hire if you are looking for someone to show up and hit record. Our passion is story telling and that is exactly what we do... Tell your story. We understand what it feels like to go through the process of a wedding :-) as we are a husband wife team and we have been there ourselves! One of the most important things in you coming together is that you are both individuals and we look for the unique qualities that make you fit perfectly as a couple! A wedding is much more than saying "I do". It is many days, months and in most cases many years in the making. We put as much love into capturing your day as you have put into creating it! We love working with couples who are as passionate about us capturing their wedding as we are :-) We would love to hear about your big day!

I have to say that Courtney and Ryan remind me of two Hollywood stars. Chris says that Ryan has a Jack Nickelson quality about him. I agree! It was a perfect day in Sonoma, which began at Camille Day Spa and continued at Ramekins Sonoma where they were married!

They wanted to see each other before the wedding with a “Secret Meet” Aka “First Look” and we wanted to find a unique place outside of their ceremony location to make that happen. As Erika from Erika Jackson Photography and I scouted around we found a cute hidden gem with a beautiful barn and lots of character. Little did we know that when they got to see each other we would soon find that this was the house of a very famous local horse Peanut Butter. Seriously a fun addition to the day! If you would like to check out the wonderful images from Courtney and Ryans wedding, here is a direct link to their photos!

The day continued with lots of love from family and friends and I must say that it ended with an awesome band. Did I mention that Ryan loves vinyl records and not only did Courtney get him some killer vinyl records for a wedding day gift, but they had a special cake made of a record player!

The day just flew by and at the end of the night when it was time for the same day edit, there was nothing but tears and laughter. We had such a wonderful day with them!!! Hope that you enjoy just a little of their day!

    Courtney - Just beautiful. I could not have asked for more. I’m so happy that the two of you were able to film our wedding. Thank you for capturing a wonderful day and turning it into something even more magical.

Michelle and Bryan’s wedding was a perfect blend of femininity and masculinity!!!! Michelle always had a smile on her face and her laugh was infectious… Not to mention that she looked STUNNING in her AMAZING Maggie sottero!!!!! Bryan and the groomsmen lived out every guys dream by renting and array of cars from a white lamborghini to a Black Bentley. They were such a fun couple to shoot, as they just played and had fun the whole day!

The wedding took place at the Palm Event Center, one of our favorite places to shoot. There are so many wonderful places to shoot, the staff is always so nice and the food is terrific.

We can’t wait to see the photos from their photographer! We will add the link as soon as we get it!

For now… please enjoy their Same Day Edit!
