Why Couples Invest in Us

With over 15 years of combined experience and more than 350 weddings photographed, we bring a calm, seasoned presence to your day — along with a deep passion for storytelling. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and you deserve more than just beautiful photos. You deserve an experience that feels effortless, intentional, and unforgettable.

We’re not just here to document your wedding — we’re here to honor it.

Better Together

Every wedding package includes both of us — Dara & Brendan. We’re a true team in life and in our work, and having two lead photographers means no moment goes unnoticed. From each side of the “getting ready” process to every spontaneous glance and joyful tear, we’re able to capture it all seamlessly. You're not hiring one photographer and an assistant — you're hiring two passionate professionals, each with a unique perspective and shared vision.

Online Gallery & Lifetime Access

You’ll receive a digital proof gallery with a full print release, making it easy to download, share, and print your images however you choose. Your gallery will remain live on our website indefinitely, so you’ll always have access — even years down the road. These are your memories, and we want you to enjoy them forever, worry-free.

Pre-Wedding Consultation

Each wedding package includes a complimentary consultation about a month before your big day. We’ll walk through the timeline, your must-have shots, and the vibe you’re going for. Afterward, we’ll create a customized photo timeline to keep things flowing smoothly on your wedding day. It’s also a great time for us to connect and ensure we’re fully aligned on your vision.

Engagement Sessions

Our engagement sessions are relaxed, fun, and an incredible way for us to build a connection before your wedding. They’re also the perfect time for you to do a hair-and-makeup trial and get comfortable in front of the camera. If you’re using the photos for invitations or save-the-dates, we prioritize editing and deliver within two weeks. Engagement sessions are discounted when added to your wedding package.

Professional Image Editing

The wedding day is just the beginning. After your celebration, we carefully hand-edit every image, ensuring your gallery is cohesive, polished, and timeless. From removing minor distractions to enhancing natural beauty, each photo is refined with care. We never outsource editing — every final image is a reflection of our personal artistry and dedication to your story.

Heirloom Wedding Photo Book

A handcrafted, hardcover lay-flat album designed with intention — this is where your wedding day lives on for generations. Printed at a premier lab with thick archival pages, your photo book is more than an album; it’s an heirloom.

The Signature Look: Modern Nostalgia Inspired by 1970s Film

Our editing style is rooted in the warmth and character of 1970s film — a time when photography felt raw, emotional, and beautifully imperfect. We’re deeply inspired by that nostalgic look: soft grain, rich tones, and golden light that evokes real emotion. It’s cinematic, soulful, and timeless.

But this isn’t just retro for the sake of being vintage. We’ve modernized the look with crisp detail, balanced color, and clean composition to suit today’s luxury weddings. The result is a unique aesthetic that blends classic film vibes with contemporary polish — giving you images that feel both effortlessly cool and enduringly elegant.

We’re drawn to true-to-life color, golden warmth, and romantic contrast — and we use light, composition, and editing to craft a visual story that feels like you. No trendy filters or fleeting styles — just honest, elevated storytelling with a timeless touch.
