Sam oversees the vision,2 or 3 additional photographers from the team will be there the day of to create in-real-time magic with you, and as you’re enjoying your honeymoon, Sam will be combing through every moment, editing and perfecting your gallery for the richness + emotion you’ll relive for the rest of your lives

For video, you can choose between a standard wedding video (featured films, here) or Super 8 (featured films, here). Videos are customized to the vibe of the day. Each celebration is unique, so we’ll work together to create some magic of what you're envisioning.

Absolutely. We are therefor you as long as you need us. However, most of our couples find that 6-8 hours is plenty of time for a full-day wedding. Once you have your final timeline details sorted you’ll have a better idea of what time you’d like us to arrive. Usually, the best time to have the photo team arrive is during the tail end of getting ready. And for most weddings, we head out sometime during the 2nd half of the reception/dancing. We recommend waiting until your wedding date is a bit closer to add coverage time.

There are many locations within NY and CT that are included. However, if the team will be driving more than 60 miles, additional fees will apply. Please reach out for a custom quote.

No. We do not send raw/unfinished images because post-production is half the process and magic that goes into our work. We promise to never leave out memories. If you feel something is missing, just ask.

It depends. A second photographer is a good idea if you have multiple getting ready locations and you feel strongly about preparation images from both. We also recommend booking a second photographer if you have more than 125 guests so you have multiple cameras catching moments throughout your celebration.  

Yes, it's super easy. You will have a private gallery with a link to share with anyone you’d like to have access. From there your family and friends can view, download and order prints.

Look up the golden hour for your date/location. Golden hour is the hour of time right before the sun sets. The light is the most magical and couples usually end up loving these photos the most. If there was one tip I could give to anyone planning photos on a wedding day, this would be it (especially if you have beautiful outdoor scenery). Keep in mind that we will also work closely together to build your timeline. Usually, a month or two prior to your wedding date will be a good time to connect on this.
