    Videography and your wedding.

    If you’re considering adding videography to your day, let us introduce you to Alexa San Roman. Consider the three of us your visual dream team!

    “I’d like to think my wedding videography style is music video meets documentary. Sometimes I’ll use a mix of high-end cameras, GoPros and handy-cams for a multimedia feel if you’re into a more artistic approach for your wedding video. I know this is something you’ll want your family members to watch 30 years from now, so I make sure to provide you with a final product that showcases the entire day to make them feel like they were there!” - Alexa

    Coordinating a timeline for your wedding.

    Although our whole philosophy on how weddings should flow is organic and natural, we do always suggest having a timeline to follow. This will help us keep you on track and know how much time we can allot to photography along each step.

  • Groom crying during a first look with his bride to be at Russo's on the Bay..

    First look? Oh yes!

    A first look may be something you and your partner are considering! A first look is a moment between just you and your fiancé. For most wedding timelines, a first look allows for photography to be done before the ceremony. This frees up your cocktail hour and allows you to get the majority of the posed and groups shots out of the way. Psst! The photos also come out so awesome!

    What to wear.

    If your wondering what to wear for your wedding day, the answer from us is fairly simple. You should be wearing whatever you want! We always suggest picking patterns and colors that don’t clash, but make sure your comfortable. Some couples even chose to change outfits or put their dance shoes on for the reception. Its always nice to have a watch or piece of jewelry from a loved one that we can highlight.

    For Family and couples photo sessions, we suggest neutral earth tones. We keep our edits natural so wearing earth tones will help us! Make sure your and your kids are comfortable.
