  • 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!

Wow Wow Wow!!! I don’t know where to begin.  We first met them a couple months ago in a little coffee shop in Union square, San Francisco while they were in town for the weekend.  We walked through the door and immediately spotted them by their sweet closeness to one another.  After our meeting both Chris and I felt incredibly inspired by their personality, style and adorable love for one another.

We had the opportunity to spend a little time together again last week while we were in Los Angeles shooting. In addition, we were able to meet their amazing dogs.  We created a fun piece for their wedding to show their friends and family a bit about them, their love for one another, and their absolute love of their dogs. While we were shooting them I asked her to complete the statement TOGETHER WE ARE…

and she replied..   { PERFECT }

after the time we have spent close to and at a distance, I have to admit that I believe that together they are absolutely perfect, just as their wedding was… SIMPLY PERFECT!

As Chris and I have continued to evolve as film makers, so has our deep love of story telling… and just like the stunning gown, I feel like their story had many wonderful and delicate layers. We arrived early morning and Chris was off with the guys who started their day with 9 holes of golf. As the day unfolded, we were just amazed at every little detail that they had thought of, from the perfectly organized tuxes and personalized cuff links to meticulous style and pearl bracelets. AMAZING!!!! They put so much of themselves into everything that it felt like every piece of the wedding was a part of them.

The story we were blessed to tell seemed like a fairy tale!

The flowers were incredible!!! From the second that Thierry Chantrel pulled up in his vintage truck to the final presentation, it was art in motion.  Terry and his crew were pure talent!!!  The location that they chose, was beautiful beyond description.  However, this was not just some random spot chosen with a dart and a map, it was a place that has had meaning to the groom his whole life.  Gerard and the staff were simply gems, making it easy to understand why this was the perfect location to feel at home.  We really loved finding, capturing and telling their story.  The SAME DAY EDIT was just a taste of all the wonderful moments that they shared.

I have to say…we felt honored to be part of their most special day!

We are incredibly excited to share their SAME DAY EDIT..   Congratulations!!!

We just received this photo from Craig Wolfrom the photographer that we worked with for Carrie + Ryan’s wedding. What an amazing treat to see the experience of them watching their SAME DAY EDIT from another perspective. We also look forward to shooting with Craig again soon!

For those of you unfamiliar with a SAME DAY EDIT…
It is when we prepare in advance, shoot, edit + screen a cinematic highlight of your day at your reception! We also bring a projector and screen and set it all up!
It is not only a show stopper, but a way to truly embrace your day and see the wonderful moments on the big screen that day, with your family and friends.
It is also a really unique element and a great surprise for your guests making your wedding extremely unique and stand out from others.

In addition, it is great for those special guests who are out of town and can’t make it, because we post it on our site for you within a week of your wedding so you can view it right away.

oh and don’t worry, while one is editing… another is still shooting all the magical moments that continue to happen throughout the night! To check out what we screened at their reception
